Celebrating the New Year with the Hall Family!

Thank you for coming down! We had so much fun with you guys!!










We all went on a hike in our backyard. You know, the San Tan Mountains!


So we didn't come to the hike dressed like this. It was colder than expected and she is wearing everything that we could find in the car to keep her warm:) I think she looks hilarious!







The Thomas family always finds these cool treasures. I can't exactly remember what it's called right now but apparently there are a lot of hidden treasures out there in the wild:)

Halloween!

Since Halloween was almost six months ago, I thought it was finally time to blog it:)


Jocelyn has the best time at pre-school and loves her teachers there! Here are few photos of her costume party there at Miss Nicole's house.

Jocelyn gets to pick a present out of the Treasure box on certain days and this day she chose her little green camera. She loves to take pictures. Most of the pictures she takes are unfortunately not with her toy camera!

I love this picture of Jocie even though I was obviously not ready. It's so hard to get good pictures of Joc because she never holds still, so I sacrificed my pride:) Besides, doesn't she look happy to be with her mommy? ahh so sweet:)

Here is her pre-school class, of which Jocelyn is the youngest.

And here is her beloved teacher Miss Nicole! Miss Melissa was taking all the photos that day...sorry Melissa.

Look what Jocie did all by herself!







This might be Jocie's first boyfriend:) No one else was hugging in the line but Jocelyn. Grady didn't seem to mind one bit!

Here's the after party. Lunch with daddy is always a blast!



Halloween night was spent with Grandma and Papa at our ward's Trunk or Treat. Jocelyn was Snow White, Brinly was a Bunny and a Ladybug, mommy was a very pale witch, daddy a...gas station worker?
We also had alot of fun putting up our Halloween decorations this year. We attempted to make a spider web with purple lights that turned out to be more pink than purple:)










We always love the pictures infront of Grandma and Papa's house!





More pictures at home for the carving of our pumpkin event.

Christmas

Sorry Christmas is after Halloween but I didn't know I couldn't arrange everything after I post!


Here we are during our family Christmas Eve's Eve party that was held at our house this year. FUN! I love having parties!
It was so fun having all the kids dress up and act out the story of Jesus' Birth.











Alright...On to our families little Christmas morning!


There you go:) JK, We have more pictures on our family website tcjphillips.com. I loved Brinly's little face and body in this one so I had to put it in. She is so CUTE!

Everyday life in the month of January

Jocelyn just started gymnastics this month and she LOVES it!
