Gingerbread Houses

Okay, so they weren't gingerbread houses. They were made out of gram crackers, but it was still so much fun! Not as easy as it looks though.

It is now decided that the first Sunday in December is when the family will get together and make gingerbread houses.

I think next year I'll get ambitious and actually make some real gingerbread. I can't wait till next year!

(this one is ours. nice isn't it?)

Did you think she would miss out on all of the fun?

No way!

Happy Christmas everyone!

Those turned out cute! What a great new tradition! I love traditions. I'm with you, though, they're not as easy as they look (not even the pre-made ones out of the box!). Still fun, and so cute!! Looks like things are fun around the Barber house :)

PS Baby Jordis is getting so big! Love that photo!!

Playlist Fun

I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Our Everyday Life: Weeks 15-21

Where do I begin?! A lot has happened in the few short weeks that I haven't blogged. We unexpectedly moved back to Utah! Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids. We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins. **** We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
