Dickson Family Christmas Party

These two are so much fun !

Tagg, Treyson,  and Dax

We keep these babies on the tile while eating, to keep the mess to a minimum .

CJ had a bright idea to have a gingerbread house decorating contest this year.  Great idea !  Each family (Rich, Bettinson, Dickson) brought a house all put together, and then we decorated it there.

It was a real hit !  Everyone got in on the action.

Even the Big Boys !


It was a family affair.  Everyone was scoping out each other's creations, and there may have been a little copying/cheating going on...... just sayin'.........

Taggeroni

A great time was had by all

The Bettinson Bunch created a JAIL, with rock walls, and snowmen outside in various stages of demise.......must have been a JAIL BREAK !!

The RICH BUNCH had some freaky GREEN GRASS going on..........don 't know quite how that worked out in winter, but oh well......
The DICKSON BUNCH had a beautiful big house, with chocolate presents all around - YUMMY !

Devin, Jaden, Dallin

We ate, played games, watched a little football, decorated the houses, and enjoyed being together.  Thanks Mom and Dad for all you do for our family.  It was a great party as usual. 



Take a look at Thatch's face, he's mouthing the words, and bobbin his head.  Too cute :)

Basketball Boy

It was a great time this morning watching Treyson play in his first basketball game.  It's been many a year since we've done little league basketball with Landon, probably in  about 1996....... wow......


All of his games will be in the new Trojan Century Center.  It is really nice.  As you can see, Treyson is the big guy in the middle (White with yellow sleeves).  It seemed every time I looked at him.......

he had a BIG SMILE on his face :)

The great grandparents are such good supporters 

Thatcher is warming up to Grandpa Ben more and more

Brotherly LOVE :)

Good game - they won 24 to 4? - I think
Thatcher is ready to head for home


Fun Friday


Tagg wanted me to tape up his fingers like an ALIEN - of course Thatch had to follow :)

Pays - chowing down on some CUTIES (oranges)

Thatch wanted to go outside, so Grandpa took him to do chores.  He got his boots on all by himself and stood by the door - and THIS TIME, he wasn't mad, and didn't want his mama :)   Doesn't he look cute in that little GIRLS hat?  It was the only one I had handy.  I had bought if from Morgan Moms the other day for Cam when she comes. 

Oh the boys were SO GLAD to see Landon.  They love him so much !

We fixed Hawaiian Haystacks for supper.  Something new......they tried some of the toppings, and stuck their noses up at the others, especially the WORMS (bean sprouts).

Zac SHAVED all up - hair cut..............  lookin' good :)

Loves his Grandpa (and Grandma :)
