Have a Very Merry Christmas

The kids were very excited when I told them Grandma and Grandpa C. along with Uncle Cameron were going to be sleeping at our house on Christmas Eve. Justin kept asking when they were going to get there, I finally I told him that maybe they were taking so long because Grandma got ran over by a reindeer. He insisted on calling to find out if everything was okay and when grandma didn't answer her phone, it brought even more concern, until shortly after they showed up.
Christmas morning was great! Santa left a trace with more then just presents, I'm thinkin' I'm going to need to leave a mat for him to wipe his feet on next year because this is the 3rd year in a row he has left a big mess... Justin had been telling me all week that he was going to wake up in the night time to open the presents, so when 7:00 a.m. arrived and Allie woke up and the boys still sound asleep I thought I better wake them up or it wasn't going to be dark much longer. I tried to wake Justin up with out him seeing me, but by the 4th or 5th time of tickling his face and running back to jump in to my bed, I wasn't fast enough and he caught me. Oh well! We all were spoiled for sure. Allie got a BIG unicorn stuffed animal from Santa and some My Little Pony's for her Brothers and a few touch and feel books from mom and dad. Logan got the Batman Lego set he asked for from Santa, a robot for his brother and sister and this Geo Air set from mom and dad along with a few other things. Santa gave Justin the Batcave Lego set he asked for along with a robot from Logan and Allie and a RC Car from mom and dad and like Logan a few other things. I myself got a new kitchen table and a watch and sweater from the kids. The kids gave Derrick a toolbox and Santa left a 46" TV for him along with and Blu-ray dvd player. As if that wasn't enough Santa left a Wii for the family with the Lego Indiana Jones game... SPOILED ROTTEN!
We spent the afternoon putting together lego sets and when we got tired of legos we played the Wii. Back and forth, back and forth, all day! We were suppose to head to Heber that afternoon, but when the weather didn't cooperate, Derricks parent called and told us not to come. So we went to my parent to visit that evening. All in all it was a GREAT christmas!

Christmas Eve Jammies

I thought these pj's were super cute and found them and Downeast outfitters for $2 bucks. I couldn't resist the little butt flaps. I was sold!

My VERY Own

Allie was so excited when I finally gave her, her very own chocolate chip cookie to eat. I didn't have time to sit and give her little pieces her and there, so I just let her go to town with it. As you can see, SHE LOVED IT! It was just a couple of days later when daddy decided she was big enough to have her very own oreo as well and once again SHE LOVED IT!
But then we had to take a picture of her all cleaned off after the oreo mess... What a cheezer!

"Snowflakes", A tasty treat!

We woke up to snow today and the boys were so excited they went right outside without, coats, hats, gloves, SHOES... Not to mention they were still in there pj's. Kids! It took all my might to get them back in the house and calmed down long enough to get them in there snow gear. When I grabbed for the camera they insisted I take pictures of them caughting the snowflakes with there tongues. What a bunch of Crazies I live with!

Santa Clause is Coming to town

Today was the Santa Clause Parade in Tooele. The kids enjoyed all the candy and I enjoyed the weather that ended up being very nice that day. Allie slept through the entire thing and didn't pay any attention to the howlering of the kids when Santa's float went by...

The BEST presents ever

Well we put up the tree tonight and beneath it we found the best presents ever smiling at us. Who could ask for anything better. My plan was to attempt to get all the christmas stuff out and put up in an organized fashion, but apperently the boys didn't get the memo,
they had it all out of the boxes faster then we were able to get the boxes out of storage and Allie was having a great time going through the maze of it all....

Disney On Ice

I have determined it is extremely difficult to take good pictures of people ice skating! We went to see the Disney on Ice which the kids LOVED! It was alot of fun. Justin was most excited to get a snowcone in a "Bruce the Shark" cup, while Logan enjoyed his cotton candy with Micky ears. Allie wasn't sure what to think about all the noise and lights, but all in all, she did really well. Thanks Lindsay and Roger for getting us tickets to go with you and thanks Nikki and Brett for coming with us. We had a BLAST!
