Gingerbread Houses-A Family Tradition

 We love Christmas time and one of our traditions is making real gingerbread houses (yes, the whole thing is edible!).  Kyler had the time of his life as his face below testifies :)

The houses turned our really well, but I will admit that our guest have a much nicer looking home (no two year old helping them--lol).

Brother and Sister

Kyler and Taíssia have so much fun together.  Taíssia loves to watch Kyler and gives him so many smiles.  Kyler adores his little sister and is constantly wondering what she is doing and how he can be a part of it.  I love it when we are eating and she is laying near by, he will take a spoonful of his food, hold it out to her and ask, "Do you want some?"  Then he will pause as if she is responding and then continue, "No?  Okay." and will eat the bite.  So cute!

He also loves to put the pacifier in her mouth, which is a wonderful things for us parents because Taís spits it out a lot.

Our little daughter

Our sweet little daughter Taíssia has joined our family!  Here's the story:

I was feeling the whole nine months of pregnancy--very big and uncomfortable.  Hyrum was having fun seeing how big my stomach was by taking the above picture (A MOVIE fits on her stomach!).  After all that fun, we started settling down to watch a show when suddenly my water broke!

Almost four hours later, and six minutes of pushing, Taíssia was born!

 We love our new little addition, and Kyler is a great big brother.
