Merry Christmas!

I know I need to finish my 12 days, and oh I will...... but in the meantime I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

10th Day of Christmas

Today was our 10th day of Christmas!  It was such a busy day, so we had to sneak it in tonight.  We made our yummy cookies for Santa, so we can now check that off our list!  I sure hope he likes them :)

9th Day of Christmas

I know a little late, but yesterday we celebrated our 9th day of Christmas!  We made snowman pizzas and watch A Christmas Story (I had not paid attention to how much swearing is in that movie).  

The kids had a blast decorating their individual snowman pizzas though, and they were sure tasty!

A little peek............

Here is a peek at the kids' Christmas pics :)

8th Day of Christmas

For our 8th day of Christmas we surprised the kids with a ticket on the Christmas Express!

Which really just was our car with some hot cocoa.  It didn't start off well since E splashed some HOT chocolate on his face :(  Poor guy screamed so loud!  After we got him cleaned up and back in the car we were off.  We drove to a special street (in Magna) that decorates like crazy!  Then we went to Winder dairy street too (not nearly as neat).  The kids loved seeing all the pretty lights and thought it was so much fun!  

7th Day of Christmas

Yummy Addiction is always the perfect gift :)  

Today was our 7th day of Christmas and we made our neighbor gifts today!

Ethan ran them around to everyone who was home.  It is always nice to have little legs to do the sprinting for you ;)  

6th Day of Christmas

Today was our 6th day of Christmas!  We made good old gingerbread houses, and the kids of  course loved it.  Don't judge us too harshly, no one said we were experts ;)  

5th Day of Christmas

Today was our 5th day of Christmas.  Since we have a long night of dance on Monday's, we kept it simple.  Tonight we read our favorite Christmas stories!  I always do all the voices, so a lot of giggling is involved :)  Tomorrow is going to be a blast, so stay tuned!

4th Day of Christmas

Sorry I didn't get the chance to post yesterday.  All the same, yesterday we focused our Christmas celebration on the Savior.  We read the story in both Matthew and Luke and talked to the kids about the true gift we all past, present, and future received that day.  What a wonderful gift to know all is not lost at the end of our time here on earth.  The Savior saved us all, he was the greatest gift that has been given.  I hope we can all look to him this season for the true spirit of Christmas.

3rd Day of Christmas

Took some quick pics of the kids for the 3rd day of Christmas!!!  They are heading to my Mom's for a fun sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa and their cousin Lily :)  

They are so excited!

2nd Day of Christmas

Today was our 2nd day of Christmas at our house.  I surprised the kids with a WHO feast :)  

We had Grinch punch, Who pudding, who hash, and even roast beast!  We finished the night off with watching the Grinch :)  The kids loved it and had so much fun.

I feel extra blessed to have to beautiful children and am so sad for those who lost their little ones today in CT.  Such a senseless act of violence.  It comforts me to know all the children lost are with our Heavenly Father.  My prayers go out to all of those involved.  

Baptism Day

Just had to slip in a picture of Kylie and Bry on the actual Baptism day :)  

1st Day of Christmas

Excuse the crappy photos of our 1st day of Christmas, they want you to buy photos with Santa so they wouldn't let me use my professional camera.  They wouldn't let me step "on set either", so sad!  

Anyways...... on our 1st Day of Christmas we went and saw Santa!  The kids let him know what they are hoping for for Christmas, and I found out that Ethan wants $10 :)  I love how excited my kids were, they ran up to him and had huge grins.  

Blast from the past.........

Found this old photo, and I love it :)  My two greatest joys!

Baptism

Today Kylie is getting Baptized and Confirmed!!!!  I am so proud of the beautiful young lady she has become, she is a positive example in our family.  Poor Bry started passing a kidney stone this morning and is in major pain.  We have some meds for him, and he is determined not to let his baby girl down :)  

Kylie we are so happy for you on this special day, and love the you are taking the right steps on your pathway back to our Heavenly Father!

Congratulations :)
