So Much Stuff!

The Boys Watching Football



We had a great Christmas this year. We got to spend it mostly with Nick's family because my parents went to St. George. We had our party with my family on the 23rd we opened our drawing gifts and had pizza. It was fun and I got a beautiful handmade jewelry box from Kayla! Avree got a princess sleeping bag with pillow that she has slept in every night since. Then on Christmas Eve we went to Nick's parents house and had a huge party. We had the nativity, played the chimes and opened our drawing gifts! We had a great time and got lots of food storage from Nick's parents! We need it so bad! We slept over that night and were so excited for Santa to come. Our kids got so spoiled this year. Which you will notice in the pictures. We had so much fun with the kids. They are such fun ages and really enjoyed Christmas. Avree kept telling everyone "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays." She said she even heard Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve:) She is so funny. Kason loved all of his new toys and especially his new Rocket ride-on toy. He loves music and just pushes all of the buttons over and over. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

ChRiStMaS!

We went to visit Santa at the mall the other night after my birthday party! Avree was very good and actually sat on his lap. I was amazed. She was a little stiff and didn't really want to talk much but she did tell him she wanted a doll. I think that is all that she could get out. Kason sat for a minute but quickly decided that he didn't like him! Oh well there's always next year.
Then last Wednesday was Avree's Christmas dance review. They did three dances 2 tap and one ballet and they were so cute! She is quite the entertainer and couldn't believe that everyone was there to watch her. So those are our Christmas adventures so far. Merry Christmas to everyone!!

The Nutcracker

Every year for as long as I can remember the girls always go to the Nutcracker right after Thanksgiving. My mom always buys the little girls a Christmas dress and we all dress up and get to go. I haven't been for a couple of years so it was so exciting to go with my little girl this year and carry on that tradition. So here are a few pics of the day. Avree loved it and sat through the whole thing. Like 2 1/2 hours! She was so excited that morning she woke up and said, "Happy Nutcracker day, Mom!"

A Great Thanksgiving and Black Friday!!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year! I think I won't be hungry again for at least another week! We ate dinner at my mom's this year and played games after dinner. Then went to Nick's parents for pie! It was a day full day of eating. But we had a great time visiting with family and goofing off. Thanks everyone for the great food it was wonderful! I even decided to make pies this year and they turned out pretty good! I was so proud of myself!
Then it was off for some great shopping. We started early and went to K-mart on thursday night. We got a few things and then went home to rest up for the next day! I picked Sasha up at 4:30 and we were off to Wal-Mart. When we got there it was CRAZY! I have been going for about 6 years now and I have never seen it so packed! There were so many people you couldn't even move. I felt like a cow in a cattle drive. MOO! At one time I was sandwiched between 2 carts with both people pushing on me. We got some great deals and I got everything I needed! We waited in line for about 45 minutes then headed to K-Mart. There was nothing there so we went to Kohls and got some great deals on toys and games. Then we went to Old Navy and finished up! Wow what a day. Sasha and I had so much fun. The most fun is making fun of the people who are so into it and rude! We don't care if we get anything but it is so fun to go and watch all of the crazy people! Thanks for going with me Sasha!
