Rylee's Junior Prom

Junior prom just happen to fall on Ry's 17th birthday.

Her date, Harper Pitt's started the date out with flowers, breakfast and singing her Happy Birthday.

Then they went indoor rock climbing with a group.

After rock climbing Hope came over to help with hair and makeup:

Mom helping her get her "boots" on....

With Hope 

And the hair:

Harper arrived and told her how beautiful she looked as she walked down the stairs. 

Please note Harper and his crazy little boy tie:

Exchanging flowers:

Then they were off! 

They went to Rodizio Grill for dinner with their group and the waiters sang her Happy Birthday and served her a complimentary flan.

Here's the group:

Then on to the capital where she was escorted down the stairs first by Doug Martin as part of Junior Prom Royalty

Then went back up to wait to be escorted down the stairs again by her date:

Then all the couples danced - they'd been practicing for a few weeks:

Then there was the daddy daughter dance:

And a picture with mom

Snapchat Pics from the night:

December 2016

Thanks to my quick Snapchat screen shot abilities - I have most of these pictures. 

Harper and the Christmas Tree:

Face timing with Grandma!

Alex and Ry singing carols at the Capitol:

If only I could walk around with a filter on - maybe not this drag queen like one though!

Rylee and the bear at Costco:

Alex really doesn't like me to screenshot him:

 So, of course I screen shot him more! 

Dev and Spencer visiting Santa:

Took these two beauties to the Mormon Tab Choir Christmas Concert:

I introduced Harper to my grandmas costume jewelry:

 She loved it!

We went to the mall to see Santa!

Waiting for Santa to actually show up:

Standing in line for Santa:

Standing in line was fine - sitting on Santa's lap was not!

Even when mom came over!

Making chocolate centers - Spencer helped too - but I didn't get a picture of him!

And I finally had a few kids around to help decorate the tree! 

December 11th! 

And because I didn't have everyone home - I created this thanks to Snapchat - to include everyone!

Chocolate Dipping Night:

The boys WERE doing this - video games

Then we recruited them to help!

Another Snowbird trip:

James and I went sledding - and this is the only picture I managed to take!

There's a cute story to the following picture. I got a new sports bra for Christmas that needed to be stretched out - I didn't want to return it - bought it on line - this is X sporting my sports bra under this hoodie - since he's so much broader than me. It worked! 

Austin's new girlfriend:

Alex trying to tutor me on the fine art of one eyebrow lifting. He's so helpful.

The Wrights trying out their ice tent!

New Years Eve!
