Christmas with the Klenks

We made the trek to California for Christmas and the New Year and had such a wonderful time with our family. I accidentally left my camera in California but luckily I downloaded some of my pictures to my computer while I was there. So this is part 1 to our Christmas in California. My mom is mailing my camera to me so more pictures will be coming soon.

Henry got trapped by this chair as he was trying to crawl into the hallway. It was really funny/sad when I heard his frustrated cries to find him like this.



 



 He is even dramatic in his sleep.

 

 

Our ward had a little Nativity that the children acted out. Makenzie wasn't supposed to be in it but when she saw all of the kids congregated to go on stage, she ran up there and before I could catch her, our kind friend Holly (the gal in the black) had given Kenzie a star to hold.  

So she made the nativity twice as bright by being the second star. She and her friend, Noah, were the cutest stars I had ever seen :)

 

 

 

 

When we left for California it had snowed 15 inches in the Salt Lake area in I period of three days. When we got to California, it was warm. No, it was hot! When we were playing ping pong outside, we all had to put hats on and I had to stay in the shade for fear of a sunburn!

 

 

 

Christmas!

Kenzie heard us say something about food and then she disappeared. I went to see where she had gone to and this is where I found her, waiting for her lunch.

Our very dear friend, Micheline, was able to spend part of Christmas day with us. We sure love this woman!

Opening up presents can be exhausting :) I love it when Makenzie makes up little beds for herself and a stuffed friend.

November

I just love this little boy!

 

First Snow!

Henry practices his yoga poses all day long!

This little girl loves spaghetti! Can't you tell? I thought it was so funny that she held the container that like that.

Henry loves bath time!



What, don't you watch TV like this?

My first Nephew!

The kids and I drove up to Idaho to help out Katie and her family when she was due to have her fifth baby, and first boy. She was due on the 29th but ended up having him on November 2nd.

We had so much fun trick-or-treating with our cousins. Kenzie thought it was so great to run up to someone's door and get candy for saying "trick-or-treat!"

Zach and Rachel are so clever! Can you guess who they were for Halloween? They came up with this idea all on their own.

Katie has this great little baby bed that my Aunt Susan made for her and Henry loved to sleep in it.

I guess Makenzie did too :)

Katie went into labor in the early morning on the 2nd and about 40 minutes later had this sweet little boy, Matthew Steven!

 

 

He is so beautiful!!!

He has such a perfect little boy face!

Cute little Mallory still fits just perfectly into a baby carrier.

Such a beautiful family!

Family Pictures

A friend of ours took some family pictures of us. I hate to brag, but I think we are a pretty cute family!
