Family Christmas Party

I wasn't feeling very well so I didn't take that many pictures, but here are two pics of all the great grandkids at the annual Phillips Family Christmas Party at Grandma Lee's.

L-R: Gwynie, Sydney, Hannah, Bailey, Brady, Trinity, Abby, Ashlynn

Syd, Han, Bay and Abs are our neices, Dustin and Erica's girls. Trin and Ashlynn are Jake's cousins girls. Yep, Brady is the ONLY boy! Also, can you believe Bailey, Brady and Trinity are the same age??!! Brady was born in January, Bailey in March and Trinity in May...and Trin is the tallest (as tall as Gwynie is actually)! Stevie is a big guy so its totally understandable, but man Brady is so small, haha!

Decorating the Christmas Tree









Our tree went up really late this year! Normally it gets done the weekend of Thanksgiving or the weekend after, but with Wrestling season and everything else it was crazy busy! Luckily its done and now we can just enjoy it!

Gingerbread house!

Brady really wanted to make a gingerbread house this year so I bought a premade one that they could decorate. We had such a fun time I think it will be a tradition from now on!

The First Loose Tooth!

Brady had his first loose tooth! He tried wiggling it and wiggling it, and finally one day at school it was loose enough that he just pulled it out! Here are some pictures of us trying to get it out one night! ;) His new tooth was already coming in behind it so we knew it was only a matter of time before it came out. The other bottom one was just a teensy bit loose and the other tooth was coming in as well. Looks like the Tooth Fairy will be visiting very soon!

( See my grubby face Mom?! ) But look there's a loose tooth in there!

I'll just see if I can pull it out myself! (Seriously not staged, he did this and I snapped the pic...priceless!)

Jake tried some string and then dental floss, but it wasn't quite ready yet.



Sister hold my hand, it hurts.


Aww its ok little brother. :(
(They do this all this time its soooo sweet!)

New Moon T-Shirts!

Gwynie and I went to New Moon together and we made shirts to wear to it! I designed and cut everything on my Cricut and then used fabric paint to make our own custom shirts! You can read more about the process here on my krafty blog. I didn't want to leave Brady out of the shirt making so he made one as well!

Jazz Game!

Jake's company has season tickets (Row 1 seats 1 and 2!) and we got to use them again this year at the Pistons game on the 21st! I LOVE his company! ;) (Can you believe these tickets are 700 bucks a peice?!! Ya we are so lucky to get them when we do!)



Here's the typical "hold the camera out in front of you and hope for the best" shot!


This is Deron Williams, or D-Will. We sit right next to the visiting team so it was hilarious to hear them cat calling him when he was shooting free throws. They'd say, "Hey D-Will, hey D-Willy!" So funny!


And oh be still my heart! Just kidding! But this is my crush worthy Kyle Korver who's also a Jazz player but was out with knee issues. He was signing autographs afterwords so we took the chance to say hey, get a pic, and have him sign our tickets. I actually met him in January of this year at my birthday party at the bar. So fun to get another pic! ;) He is soooo very dreamy in person!

And one other Jazz sighting! Jake and his friend Nick were at the heated driving range of one of the courses they go to. (Yes golfing in November in Utah, it can be done!! Just at Jake and Nick!)Little did they know that Mehmet Okur was there golfing as well! Nick took Brady to say hi and snapped a pic on his phone. So cool that Brady was actually wearing his Jazz beanie too! ;) Holy cow is he ever tall! And look at him palm B's head! ;)
