Brandon's First Trumpet Concert! December 6

We picked out grandma's Christmas tree while sipping hot cider.

 They even gave the girls min-trees!

 That evening we got to see Brandon play trumpet in his first 7th grade band concert! So exciting! I am seriously so proud of him for picking such an awesome and interesting instrument. Fits his personality just right.

 Afterwards we went for froyo and Kendall did a little interpretive dance for us.

Early Christmas Holiday Dinner with Grandpa TJ and Grandma Lynne

We drove up to the Lawrence Welk resort and met Grandpa and Grandma Lynne. They gave the kids their Christmas gifts, Brandon played a little trumpet for them, and then we went to a nice dinner.

Kaylee's Cinderella 3rd Birthday Party

Kaylee has been obsessed with Cinderella (honestly, I have no idea how this happened because she had never seen the movie), so it was a no-brainer what theme her birthday would be. I knew when I saw the official Cinderella dress at the Disney store that I had to get it for her.

 I about died.

 She picked out a beautiful cake...

 We celebrated with dear family and friends.

Brandon cut the cake...

 Jordi...what a cutie!

 We cut her off after 3, don't worry.

 Dean found her crown and was "helping" her put it back on. Thanks, Dean!

 Time to blow out candles!

Just a little taste!

 Matt Leighton-approved!

 No more beer, Dean!!

 My girls came out!

And when she wasn't looking, I had my moment!

 Happy 3rd Birthday, sweetie!!
