Christmas morning

For the last 3 years this has been are Family Tradition.

We go out to eat at a restaurant, then on to Festival of

lights, and then drive around to look at neighborhood

Christmas lights. This year we also went to Thanksgiving

Point. My Favorite is finding neighborhoods who have gone

all out on putting up lights. And the different things people do.

After that on our way home, we stop by the sports park (if it has

snowed). And do a few doughnuts in the parking lot. This is Manny

and the kids favorite part. This year I decided to record some

of it. Its the post below. WARNING: May cause dizziness.

Christmas Eve Family Tradition

This is our Christmas Party with my Mom!

Let me just say it didn't start out to well. Monday

it snowed the whole day and into the night. So most

of us were late. It was horrible driving out to Benjamin.

But once we got there we had a great time, and my mom

had a fun game planned for the kids. They sat in a circle,the

first person got to chose a present, then the next either took the

first persons, or choose their own. It was fun, but of course they

all wanted to pick their own bag. Kaden ended up picking one

with a girl toy. We all started laughing, because we know

how much he hates girl things. He started crying

really bad, so we let him pick another.

He is such a terd. When we got to the party

him and Ammon were checking out their gifts,

and Kaden got mad because his was a small box.

He pouted most of the party until he opened his

present to find he got just what he wanted. I told

him he should be thankful for any toy at all!

My Eli!!!!

He loves Sponge Bob Square Pants. Cute little Trevin. He slept through the whole party. I had to wake him up to open his gift. Great Grandpa Dick My brother He's such a handsome man.

Making Christmas cookies!

So I braved the weather Friday night, and went to my sister Collene's house. We had planed to make cookies, but when it started to snow I was having second thoughts. But I hopped into the big truck, turned on the 4 wheel drive and started out. My sister Laura came along at the last minute and I'm glad she did. It made me feel a little better. It was worth the drive, we got yummy cookies to leave for Santa.

I'm a little late posting this, but we went to the Zoo lights up in Salt Lake last week. I loved it! Yes it was cold, and we froze are you know whats off, but I had fun. I hope my kids did as well. My favorite was the ginger bread house, zebras, and giraffes. I hope to do it again next year.

Zoo Lights

Here come Santa Clause, here comes Santa Clause, right down Santa Clause lane.

Well we went to see Santa today, and stood in line for almost an hour. I had to get a picture with Trevin for his first Christmas, or I wouldn't have stood in line for so long. Can't wait only 3 more days till Christmas!!!

WOW!!!!!

I can not believe it is 2 weeks until CHRISTMAS

Is everybody ready, I'm sure not. So many things still

to do. I hope everyone has a great Merry Christmas and

a safe New Year!

My boys are the best. But I guess every

mother thinks that. They take the best pictures.

I look at Kaden, and I just see my smile. The same

gap, and beaver teeth. I love those moments when

they do something or say something, and your like

"that is so me"
