Gingerbread Houses

Making gingerbread houses at Christmas-time is a tradition with the Kobers. We always have a lot of fun finding unusual candies and making the houses as unique as possible. Here are the finished masterpieces.
Allison really didn't want her picture taken. I think she was incredibly tired. This was the same day as her birthday party and she didn't get a nap that afternoon. She did have fun making the house, I promise.

Merry Christmas 2012!

Christmas morning! I don't think Jared and Allison were quite ready to be up, but Kyle and Hayden had waited for over an hour for the rest of us to wake up. But it didn't take long for them to get into the spirit of opening presents. Kyle's favorite present was an MP3 player. Hayden loved his Hogwarts Lego set. Jared was excited about the $5 dollar bill that was left on the tree for him (that what those white envelopes are). Allison's favorite toy was her Strawberry Shortcake doll. Nathan was just happy to be held and look at the lights. We had a great day together!

Allison is 3!

Our sweet Allison turned 3 yesterday. She is all about princesses, pretty dresses and playing pretend.
She also loves Strawberry Shortcake so her Deedum made this amazing cake for her special day. She is so much fun to be around. She's almost always in a good mood, loves to give hugs and kisses, enjoys putting puzzles together, can count to 13 by herself, and is such a big helper around the house. One of my favorite things about her is that she has named all of her hairstyles after her friends and cousins. So when we are getting ready in the morning and I ask how she wants her hair done, she just has to say "Rylee" or "Sarah" and I know exactly how to do her hair.

Happy Birthday Kissee-Face!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from these two little turkeys and the rest of the Kobers! We hope you had as great a holiday as we did. We spent Turkey Day at my sister's house in Santa Clara with most of my siblings and their families (29 1/2 people if I counted correctly - we missed the rest of you!) and then went to my mom's house for a family reunion in Springville on Saturday. The weekend went by so fast! It was so fun to see aunts, uncles and cousins that I haven't seen in years. I'm very thankful for such a wonderful family!
