Christmas Card Picture 2011

Christmas fun

The night before Cade got his back surgery Martha flew in to save the day. I seriously don't know what I would have done with out her. She swooped in and took care of us so that I could be with Cade in the hospital. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to not have to worry about a thing so that I could take care of Cade after his surgery. She is such an angel and I am truly blessed to have her as my Mother-in-Law. I love you Martha and thank you for coming to help. The night she got to our house, life had been so crazy I had not decorated for Christmas. We had a tree, but that was about it. So we broke out the Christmas decorations. The kids loved it. This last picture of Cooper cracks me up. He is always in his underwear, but Grandma said for his sake he needed to cover up at least one part of his body for the picture. He had the stocking a little higher at first so we kept saying a little lower, a little lower, ok now you are good!! Makes for a funny pic! I love my biggest boy!!

Letters to Santa 2010

Every year we write letters to Santa.

It is so much fun to sit with the kids and learn what they dream Santa will bring them.

We send them a special way in our house.

We light the fire, put the letters into the fire, and then when they are all burnt up,

Christmas MAGIC brings it to Santa

Carter was first

Oh and baby Kino was there to!!

This little squishy is my favorite! I just love kissing those cheeks!

Cooper was second

Reagan third.

Kino went last

He was so excited he started giving it extra drooly love.

Then we all watched as the last letter went to Santa.

This is the first year that Reagan REALLY knows it is Christmas.

She could hardly believe that we had a real Christmas tree in our house.

She just stared at it.

And hugged it a bunch.

Ward Christmas Party 2010

During the ward Christmas party the kids did a little musical number

I felt it should have been for adults only because it was pretty long and they requested that the kids stay in their seats. But kids aren't like that. They get wiggly and they were just to excited because it was Christmas. So I let them wiggle a little. Reagan and Ella loved all the music and wanted to be right up front. So I let her.

The boys wanted to do the same thing.

Then it got a little out of control. I made the boys come and sit down after that. The little stinkers. They just love each other!!
