Mullen Christmas Party

Our annual Mullen Christmas Party was a fun filled day here in Cache Valley.  We started out the day with some bowling...


Back Row: Parker, Audrey, James and Spencer
Front Row: Isabelle, Claire, Madilyn, Myles and Lillian
Unfortunately, Todd and Mick weren't able to make it up in time to go bowling.  We missed having them there, however at least our scores were a bit more competitive without Todd there beating us all.  And you will notice in the picture above, Myles had a great time, even fell asleep with all the noise.

After the bowling we headed to our local church house and Lynn and I hosted the first ever Mullen Family Minute-To-Win-It Competition.  We had some great games and laughs the whole time through.

And for the Grand Finale, the men had an caramel apple eating contest,
however the majority of them were caramel onions. Ha! Ha!
The whole family!

Christmas Dance Review

Madi's dance class had a quick dance recital right before Christmas.  They performed 3 songs and it was adorable.  Madi did an excellent job!







I don't know the names of the girls in her class, but Madi and Annie are in the middle on the back row.

Gingerbread Houses

Somehow we have turned this into an annual tradition, and we love it! Every year the kids decorate gingerbread houses and eat tons of candy.  We usually use leftover Halloween candy so it turns out great.  Myles even had a great time this year and was a terrific taste tester.  The kids did a great job and their houses turned out fantastic!  Parker's had a fish pond in the back and Madi's was stuffed full with candy just in case she needed a treat later.  Bring on the Holidays!






One last lick before we threw them away!
