Santa, Santa, and More Santa

We saw Santa 3 times this year! We went to the mall to see him and he also made an appearance at our Ward Christmas Party, and at Scot and Jenn's Ward Party!


Ryann and Bailey with Santa at our Ward party!

Here we are waiting for Santa at the mall. We waited FOREVER! But it was totally worth it. We were the 2nd people in line. Ryann and Cooper waited patiently (Yeah right)!

Tren and Bailey also waited so patiently...(Yeah Right)!

These twins are at such a CUTE age! This was such a fun Christmas with them. I wish they could stay 5 forever!!! They were so excited to see Santa. Cooper's shirt says, "Dear Santa, I was framed!" He kept asking me, "what does framed mean?"

Bailey asked Santa for a "American" doll, and a Nintendo DS!

Tren asked Santa for a Guitar and a Nerf gun.

Cooper asked for a Nintendo DS and a Nerf Gun.

Apperantly Ryann, and Santa are sharing a little joke!

Ryann asked Santa for a "Pass word Journal"

Christmas Parties with friends

We had a couple of get-together's this year with good friends around Christmas-time.


We had a great time at Scot and Jenn's with their family and Rod and his kids!

Here are a few of the kids getting ready to open some presents!

Pam and her kids, and Shannon came over to our house for a Christmas party!

Aren't we lovely?

Here are all the kids! We had such a fun time visiting, eating, playing games, and hanging out with all of our friends this holiday season. The Pugmires also came over to play during the holidays, however we got so busy eating, and playing games noone took any pictures! We played a fun game called "Curses"

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we traveled to Logan with my Mom and Dad. We had dinner at my brother's house. My sister and her family also just moved to Logan to open the "Green Gorilla" car wash. (It's awesome by the way, so if you are ever in Logan, stop by the Gorilla and get a wash! ) My Brother Bob, lives in Spokane and had Thanksgiving with his kids there, so they weren't with us and we Missed them! We had such a fabulous time. I am SO thankful that we have such a close family! Every last one of them is an outstanding person whom I love dearly! We did lots of fun things such as
1: Going to see New MOON 2. eating a lot 3. Making crafts 4. Shopping 5. eating lots 6. the guys went to a USU basketball game 7. we ate some more 8. I had several beverages that rhyme with "Quiet Lepsi" 9. the kids played board games, video games, (and mind games :/ ) 10. we went to Maddox in Brigham City 11. We had FUN!


Sandi is the official roll maker in our family. She makes a mean batch of rolls. I am not too shabby in this department either (I use her recipe), but lets keep this on the DL. (Down Low) for those who just don't get it :)

Ryann and Bailey had fun jumping and playing with Sheeba. This is the cutest nicest, mellowest dog ever! Yes you are, yes you are, who's a good girl?(insert puppy voice)!

Sandi and Hailee!

Hillary, ME, and my sista!

No-one likes a frowny face! We were trying to see who could make a perfect frown. I think Hailee won! (Please vote in the comment section)

MMM.... rolls!

Martha, I mean Wayne making his famous mashed potatoes with his lovely assistant! (note the cute apron Wayne is wearing...)

Coop and Austin were buddies this weekend. Cooper just adores Austin! He is so sweet to play with Coop and let him follow him everywhere.

This is a fun little play room in the space under the stairs. There are dolls, trains, and lots of fun for the kids!

My niece Hailee has Celiac disease. She cannot eat Gluten. These are the "gluten-free" rolls my sister made for her. ( I don't think she ate them.....)

Cooper didn't want Carmel...just an apple with a stick! Isn't it the cutest apple ever!

We drove to Brigham City to Maddox! It was delicious! We ate in the Buffalo room. Mark ate buffalo too!

Yummy, we all have full tummies! This was a great trip and made me very thankful for a loving, eternal family!!!!

Any Ideas????

OK, I need suggestions. I want to print my blog into a book. I know there are A LOT of companies out there that do this and it is overwhelming! I have done my blog this year with the idea that I wanted to print it. Kinda like a scrapbook of our year. I have a lot of pictures, so I was looking for a place that is cute, but also gives you lots of pages. If any of you crafty, blogging experts out there have any ideas for me, I would greatly appreciate it!!!!
