Tonight the whole Penrod family had our picture taken. It was lots of fun even though it was cold. I think they are going to turn out sooo CUTE! Thanks Tricia! After pictures we went to Mattas & ate dinner, then to the temple to see Christmas lights. It was FREEZING!!! I think this is the first time we have taken the boys since we have lived here. They loved trying to guess how many lights there were. And the always love playing with Maci.

Every year on Christmas Eve we go to my Grandpa and Grandma Taylors house for dinner. After dinner the kids act out the nativity while one of my uncles read Luke 2. Then my grandpa dresses up like Santa Claus and hands out the presents and takes pictures with the kids.

Hailee can't help herself.

Christmas Day
My boys must have been REALLY good this year.

My sister Steph and her family flew in from Dallas on Christmas morning. The kids had so much fun playing together. Every year my mom gets the kids Christmas jammies to wear. This is everyone but Keelie. Trevor, Kyle, Bryce, Hailee, & Maci.

Keelie Jo Goodman. My sister Cassie had her first baby yesterday December 13th. She wieghed 6lb 14oz. Cassie and Joe are soooo excited. Joe kept saying " This is my daughter" over and over again. It was so funny. He's a very proud daddy.

Trevor & Kyle with Grandma's help decorated a gingerbread house on Friday. I know what you're thinking, but I DO feed my kids. I don't know why they are so skinny or why they insist on taking their shirts off.





I took my kids to see Santa Claus. We waited in line for about 45 min. and this is the best picture I got. I'm so mad. The first 2 pictures were completely black so I turned off my flash and this is what I got. There was only 5 minute left until "Santa had to feed his reindeer" so I couldn't sit and mess with my camera.

Trevor had a half day today so I thought that I would be a fun mom and take my kids (& a friend) to see a movie. I really wanted to see Mr. Magorium because I thought it would be a fun movie to see. Boy was I wrong. I was bored the entire time. My kids were entertained for a while but then they started talking about random stuff so I knew they were bored. They did say they liked it afterwards, but I think they just had fun going to a movie. I do NOT recommend this movie.
