Sparks/Mansker Family Photos...

 Part of our tradition, and has been for many years, is that I do Susan and Sis's family
Christmas photos for them while I'm there :)

I look forward to it every year...
I also can't believe how big everyone is getting...
It makes me so proud to see what wonderful kids we are bringing up, but a little sad to see
how fast it is all passing us by...







The Mansker kiddos :)







 The twins have gotten so big...



Thanksgiving...

We headed to Las Vegas for the Thanksgiving weekend.
We left @ 2 am, Thanksgiving day to avoid the traffic.  It worked!
We didn't hit too much traffic, but we sure were tired!!

Emma couldn't get enough of her Uncle Ken :)
She sure loves him!


 Kierstyn and Toby watching the parade!!

Kierstyn helped Aunt Sissy cook Thanksgiving dinner...

 The boys played in their PJ's :)

 This is the thermometer that Mom decided to cook in the bird... 
We were just glad it didn't explode!!!
She's taken the fact that she "burns" everything to all new levels :)

 We had a full house!!!

 Ty and Bray!!!

 Kierstyn and Eliza!!




A roaring game of Twister!!!


 Ken and I were so tired... Danielle let Susan and I know right after dinner that we were pulling an all nighter due to the fact that Toys R Us opened up at 10 pm... We stood in line for hours!!!  And didn't get home until 730 the next morning, but we wouldn't have it any other way... It's the three of our(s) tradition!!!

Still haven't caught up on sleep though :)


Saturday night, Sis BBQ'd for Susan's and my birthdays...


 Yoga toe socks... 
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww...

 Mom and Larry...


 My Sweetie and Savannah...

 Suzie-Poo and Me...
Too many candles to light these days :)




Mommy's 31st Birthday...

 We took the kids to the zoo for my birthday!!



 We got to see the panda's for the first time!!!
They were all of our favorite!!!

Eagan was very interested in all the animals :)

Ever since the air show, Eagan hasn't been so sure about airplanes :)
He sure loved the helicopter though! 

My hubby was not setting a very good example for his children :)

 Kierstyn could barely stnand the foot massager!!!


 Train ride around Balboa!!

Ken and the kids got me a yummy birthday cake!
Eagan couldn't wait for his own piece, he dove right in!!!
