Christmas

This is a picture of the girls in their Christmas dresses. They looked so beautiful. Thank you Grandma Lois for such amazing dresses. These girls love them so much!!

 The girls loved their Rudolph noses. They got them a year or so ago from Santa, but had forgotten about them until we opened the Christmas boxes and they had fun with them.

Instead of making and exchanging ugly sweaters this year we decided to decorate ugly sweater cookies. Here are some of the ugly sweaters along with a few other fun cookies.

 Thanks Ginet for showing us the melted snowman cookies. The girls loved these! Although I should have made them all girls because Claire and Mia thought they could only eat the girl ones because they are girls.

Claire's school teacher gave her magic reindeer food with the instructions that we needed to sprinkle the food on our lawn on Christmas Eve. They girls had so much fun doing this. Claire was such a great sister to share with Mia and let her sprinkle some magic food too.

Christmas morning is always so magical...especially with younger kids. We all had so much fun opening our presents.

 

 

Bryan gave the girls Just Dance 2014 for the Xbox One...guess that means he has to keep one of the Xbox Ones he was going to sell. I am not so sure I like this idea, but too late now....the girls and Bryan are so excited by this, as you can tell!!

Thanks to the amazing gifts from Grandma...we are able to have a concert in our home every day.

These are the nightgowns I made for the girls; along with the matching nightgowns Grandma Nancy made for their dolls. The girls love that they not only match each other, but they match their dolls.

After opening presents at our house and then opening some at Grandma Lois and Papa Don's house, the girls were ready for some Christmas movie time....as you can tell Christmas really wiped Mia out!

Thanksgiving Weekend

My Mom, Dad, Brother and Nephew all took the long drive to come and spend Thanksgiving weekend with us. It was so much fun!! I loved every minute of having some of my family in town. I just wish they lived closer so we could spend time together more often. Here are some fun pictures from this weekend. Here are the girls with KeKoa. They loved spending time and getting to know the bugaboo more! 

 They loved doing fun crafts with Grandma Nancy. They wouldn't let mom help them (even though mom showed Grandma Nancy how to do it)...they wanted the time with Grandma.

 Here are the kids with my Brother and Dad...they are waiting to be amazed!

 

They are now amazed at our geyser!

We had plenty of time to do what we do best...be silly and crazy!

We had the mission president stop by and visit...he was my brother's stake president not too long ago.

We were able to go and spend time with Santa and some of his reindeer. They kids enjoyed feeding the reindeer apples. They loved every minute of it. They even got to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. 

 

 

Of course all of us adults wanted to visit Santa too. So we took this chance to have a group photo.

This last picture just says how much fun we had all weekend!!

We had so much fun. Thanks again for visiting. I just wish we could do it again sooner rather than later!
