Squire Christmas 2011...

So here it is January and I am finally blogging about the Squire Magnificent Christmas 2011. It was a very nice holiday and for some wonderful reason our December turned out to be slow and nice, easy going LOVED IT!!! So we begin on Christmas Eve we started the day with the best breakfast of the year according to my family. We got up early and headed over to grandpa and grandma Squire's famous Christmas breakfast. Yes it was yummy, I even remembered my camera but forgot to take pictures. I knew I would be helping in the kitchen and had planned it all out to have Josh take some for me but what can I say with all the excitement of Christmas Eve I forgot to ask. Lucky me by the time we got to evening and the Light family Christmas Eve party Lynn was on broad and took some for me. AGAIN I was put in charge of the play so lucky me had to be part of the pictures. Something people I avoid at all costs!!!

Jake was Joseph this year, my niece Kate Lynn was Mary...

(Jake calls her Katie Potatie)

Ben was a very Wise Man...
For Christmas Santa left a great family gift a pool table/ping pong

The kids/family LOVED it. They still do...
This is how the men of the family spent their Christmas day/night.
What can I say they are men (and so serious to)!!!

We really had a nice and relaxing Christmas, first time in years. No places to go no people to have to go see. We went to church and was able to feel the true spirit of Christmas. I am so thankful to my Savor and for his love for me, for his willing to come to earth and pay for my sins. For his willing to give me the best Christmas gift I will ever receive, eternal life and my family forever...

What's Happening Squire's???

So this post is mostly because I am getting ready to make my journal from my blog for the year 2011. So basically this is about what's been happening to the Squire Magnificent 7 since we have moved into our new house. (I have not been very good at blogging since the move). So here we go...

Josh had his 16th birthday. The kids wrote this on our drive way...

( Yes at our house we call Josh, Chosh thanks to Ben, don't tell anyone but Josh likes it)

We had the first day of school... Josh 11th grade, Trav 9th grade, Meg 6th grade, Jake 3rd grade

Jake played soccer, his team the strikers...

Ben had his 5th birthday, his party was all about the movie Cars

Travis had his Eagle Court of Honor

We had a Happy Halloween 2011

As much as I hate the fact the Travis is a trader and is no longer a BYU fan, I did forgive him just this once because he had the most awesome pumpkin this year. He did this all himself no tracing. Don't worry I am back to not forgiving him for being a trader!!!

My little guys got caught reading in dad and mom's bed.

(best place to read according to Jake & Ben)

Travis had his 15th birthday...

(I loved that Trav wanted ice cream sandwiches for his birthday dessert)

Jake got his Wolf in cub scouts. December 7, 2011

It has been a VERY busy half of year. I am really looking forward to next year in hopes that maybe things will slow done if only a little bit I would take it. As much as I love being a mom to my five children, I hate living in my car from the hours of 2:00 pm to 6:00pm daily. So maybe I will organize my life a little better next year. Oh wait that is what I will make as my
goal 2012!!!
