Smørrebrød Party 2016

We signed up to feed the Sister Missionaries this weekend so we decided to make it into our annual Smørrebrød Party with a few other friends.

A little Christmas Name-that-Tune with the sister Missionaries! So fun! My kids blew them out of the frozen water!

• mtseamonsfamAnnual Smorbord Party! (Extra memorable since Bestemor passed away this year) Thanks to the Sisters, the Tubbs, the Coils, and some of the Nielsons for coming & sharing in our Norwegian tradition. Next year Justin's bringing lutefisk! Lol

• jbnielsonIt's a Smrdbra party! That's what the text invite I received from Brett said, "Smrdbra". That's what I couldn't pronounce it. But I can say "loot-a-fisk"!
• jbnielsonPS everything was awesome, especially the flat round ginger bread Carmel cookie things. Thanks for having us over.
• crumra53I have missed those parties over the years. I'm glad you've kept it going

"Homeless, Homeless, But there is hope because..." burning styrofoam cups in the snow is Awesome!!! Lol Teenagers.... what?? Where do they come up with these things?

Swimming with the Nielsons

mtseamonsfam Swimming with our friends before they move out of the hotel. Thanks Nielsons for the pizza 🍕, the swim & the good company! So excited you're here!
demerry I'm sorry I missed so much of it!! Thanks for playing and thanks for being so wonderful ❤️

Not the Mama Rave but...

• mtseamonsfamNot quite the Mama Rave... but a fine time with these great people! When Reid's away, the rest of us will... attend Conference & eat lowCal/Sugar free treats at Applebee's. Oh man-the 2 hotties in the middle know how to ParTay! LOL Bonus though... we did share the Gospel with Johan. Add him to your prayers. Credit to Justin for the picture.

• janniediHa! Shay, funny that it's Reid missing because I kept seeing only Brett tonight and thought you must not have been able to make it to conference for some reason. Looks fun!
• misskris21Just two low-cal, sugar-free crazy gals on the town! Thanks for hanging with us!

Nagoya with Nielsons

Trick-or-Treating with Mr. Crayola

After the Trunk-R-Treat event, we adopted several children & took them all Trick-or-Treating to the EastGate neighborhood. We invited our new friends, the Nielsons and stole some of the Fife kids as well. Brett & I had a blast hanging out with these hooligans. (Sorry you couldn't come E- we'll make it up to you with a go-kart ride sometime) May we always remember the pre-teen sassy-ness, the belching contest, falling like leaves and the begging to go home by the little ones. Gotta love 'em! XO Yours truly- Mr. & Mrs. Crayola

Impromptu Halloween Party

We met this new family, the Nielsons at Church this morning and Brett invited them over for Scones tonight. They are awesome! Somehow it turned into an awesome Halloween Party. (very, very last minute- we invited the Lybberts to join in our fun. Love friends that drop things and join us on a whim. XO) We made Scones, ate pumpkin pie, played basketball & football in the rain by the Hummer lights and took wet Go-Kart rides. Good times!

We even carved a few pumpkins. Way to go, us! We used to throw huge Halloween parties with pumpkin carving & pinatas & dinner. This year, we were just going to let it slide but it turned out- we had one afterall. LOL Great pumpkins, y'all!
