HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY ZACK!

This weekend we went to my cousin Zack's first birthday party.  This was not just any birthday party... this was a BRAZILIAN first birthday party... here are a few pics I took with my cell phone (can you believe I forgot my camera again!!)

This is the first thing we saw when we walked into the church ... (Yes the party was held in a church building, I don't think their home would have held all the big clown balloons)



This was front and center, a big sign that says Zack and balloons everywhere.  The hired photographer took a picture of our family with Zack here.  I will have to post that when I get it.




The CAKE!!!



There was even a clown there to paint faces and make balloon animals etc. for the kids... Brooke and I stood in line to get our faces painted for a while and we almost made in the the front, but when I turned around and saw about ten kids half my size behind me, I decided I should let them have a turn first.  Needless to say the line never died down, so I never got my face painted. :(


Sami did though...as a tiger



No, this is not the Birthday Boy!



This is Zack, the real birthday boy


Zack and his mom Marcia.. (and yes, she always dresses like this :)



Happy Birthday Zack!  We sure do love you!  Can't wait for you party next year!

Christmas Time!

We started off our Christmas celebrating in St. George with Cody's cousins at the Annual Palmer Cousin Christmas Party.  We had fun spending the weekend with most of Cody's siblings and spouses.  I remembered to bring my camera, but when I got there I realized the batteries were dead so no pictures :(

Cody and I had fun decorating our apartment for Christmas.  We brought back three small trees and some light and other Christmas decor from Thanksgiving.  And for Family night a few weeks ago, we had a blast at Honk's (a dollar store just down the street from us)  We found the cute stockings you see hanging on the wall in the picture.





We are excited for Christmas and the gifts we have to give.  We are also excited that finals are over!  Cody and I did really well this semester!  One more to go for me :)

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
