Christmas Morning!!!!!!

This Christmas we celebrated Christmas morning in our own home. It was so fun to wake up to the kids excitement. Cooper woke up at 4:30 in the morning......I made him sleep with us until it was a decent hour and the rest of the kids woke up.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Mack for all of our fun gifts!!

Reg got some make up because she always assaults mine when I am getting ready in the morning. Now I just set hers up next to mine and we do makeup together. She loves it and so do I!!

Don't you think she did a good job putting it on?

That evening we went to my parents house and exchanged gifts.

I gave my Mom a book called Llama llama mad a mama because when I was little I used to call llamas mamas!

We had so much fun! Thanks for all of the fun gifts everyone!!

Christmas Eve

We headed down to Newport for Christmas Eve. My Mom made an amazing dinner and we got to hang out with the fam. We played Christmas Bingo.

We read Christmas Stories.

Played Christmas Charades. Coop was an ornament.

Kathryn a star.....I think....

Kevin guessing.

Kendra was a snowman. And then.....

SANTA CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the BEST EVER!!! Santa used to come to my Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house and now that they have passed away, Santa comes to my parents house. It brought back so many memories from when I was little. This made my year!

Carter loved Santa.

Reagan wasn't sure.

And we all love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grandma Scott loves him most of all!!!! It was such a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Christmas Bed

Cooper used all of the things he made at school to decorate his bed with and I thought it was super cute!

Love this!

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
~Henry David Thoreau

I love this because my little family is such a dream. It is definitely not perfect, but in our imperfections it is perfect. I just got done reading a girl's blog whose baby is really really sick. There is almost nothing worse in this whole wide world. I would take any trial over one of my family members life being in danger. I am so grateful for this life I have been given and hope to make the quote above more true every day.

Do the things that makes your heart race faster!

Christmas Boat Parade

One of my very favorite Christmas traditions is the Newport Beach Boat Parade. It is always so amazing to see all the boats lit up and how much fun my kids have watching it.

Cooper loves it!

Bryan, Kathryn, Brynna and Kenzy came and they love it!

My Dad got these thermoses that kept the hot chocolate super hot the whole trip. It was such a great idea! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Cade and I love it!!!!

Some of the amazing yachts.

This one is always my favorite!

We took one of Cooper's best friends Jake Lowry with us too and he loved it!!!!
