Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas Everyone!! Christmas has come and gone but I wanted to share the pix of my cute kids who were soooo very excited for Santa to come.

On Christmas eve we went to Riverdale for the Smith family Christmas party for great food, swimming, and Santa. When we finally got home we cleaned the house really fast so that Santa could come then we read from the bible and the kids opened their pajamas from mom and Dad. Cute little Sid loved her pj's and pretended she was a frog for the rest of the night. We couldn't get Sid and Hagen to stay in bed as a result of an hour nap on the drive home. Finally, at midnight everyone was sound asleep and Santa was finally able to attempt to bring presents to the house. Christmas Morning finally came after a long night and again Mom was the first awake. Why is it that Mom is more excited for Christmas morning than anyone else?? Instead of waking up the kids, mom laid in bed and watched a little tv. Finally, 8:40 AM rolled around and Kaleigh ran up the stairs to check for presents and then woke everyone else up.

My little Kaleigh isn't so little any more. She got an MP3 player, cute little hat, earrings, a baby alive doll and a pillow pet. She has spent the past few days walking around the house with her cute little hat and earphones in her ear.
Hagen was super cute opening his gifts. He also got an MP3 player, and dinosaur toy, a pillow pet, Kung zu pet and the most popular gift besides the MP3 player a nerf type shooting gun. He shoots everything, even his sisters and Dad until he gets in trouble. His second fav. gift is Lego Batman. He plays the game every day.

Sidney was in heaven she got a little people house, pillow pet, a baby alive, a new blanky (so that we can retire her old blanky that is falling apart and stained). After all the presents were opened she sat on the couch with her baby, blanky, pillow pet, and her M&M's and watched beauty and the beast. It was so entertaining watching her reaction to every present she opened.

It was a great Christmas. My favorite gift this Christmas was how happy my kids were with everything that they did and received. I love you Kaleigh, Hagen, and Sidney!!

White Christmas (hopefully)

Even though, I don't really like snow it was nice to wake up this morning to snow and it has snowed all day. Hopefully, it doesn't rain or all of a sudden get warm and melt before Christmas day. Kaleigh, Hagen, and Sidney went and played in it for a while and had a ton of fun. Until they got too cold. Friday, the 17th, was the last day of school until next year and they had their Christmas sing program. Hagen was a cute reindeer singing Rudolph.
Kaleigh's class sang the perfect song. "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth". Kaleigh had just lost the first of her two front teeth.

For family home evening we made a Lowes build and grow project and it was really cute watching the kids get all dressed up to put together their Kaleidoscopes. Sid, especially since she had her goggles up side down and wouldn't let us fix it for her.

You can tell I haven't blogged in a while, I am usually better at posting on a regular basis. Here is the pix of my cute kiddo's in front of the Christmas tree that they had decorated the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Jazz Game Suprise

So, on Monday we were given tickets by Nuskin to go to the Jazz game. I wasn't so excited to go but was willing since it would be a night with out any kids and a good date. To our suprise, when we got the ticket we found out that is was a club 100 ticket. At that time I had no idea what that meant. We got to eat at the Club 100 buffet (the food was amazing) and during half time we got to go into the club 100 half time room for drinks and all kinds of snacks. I think the best part of it was that we were sitting 2 rows from the court next to the basket. You could see the sweat dripping from the players. It was a lot of fun, thanks NuSkin!
This was our view of the court from our seats
