Christmas Morning

Christmas Fun

 Looks comfortable doesn't it?

 There is nothing better than having friends over. Except maybe gathering a bunch of stuffed animals and putting them on the table!

More fun in the living room.

O Christmas Tree

 This year instead of putting ornaments on the tree the kids wrote nice things that they did for other people on the tags and then put them on the tree. They were hoping that if they filled the tree with nice things they had done for other people that Santa would replace the tags with decorations!

Santa came through! He even left some of Rudolph's bells on the door! (I think that was Jocelyn's favorite part!) The kids were so excited on Christmas morning when their tree was decorated and Santa had left his gifts!

Christmas Party

 Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Jocelyn and Jordan missed out because they weren't feeling well.

We did bowling and Alexis loved that we were glowing!

Christmas Drew

 I woke up before anyone else one morning - it's a VERY rare thing for that to happen - and I found Drew asleep under the tree. He woke up as soon as he heard the camera, but I caught him all snuggled up!

It's not very often that you get to lose both front teeth right before Christmas! It was even more fun because they got to share it together!

Christmas Lights

For John's birthday this year his Dad took him to see the BYU v USU game in Salt Lake City. I figured while he was gone I would walk around Temple Square and see the lights with the kids. John's Mom didn't like the idea of me walking around alone with the kids and she couldn't come so we got a hotel! It was so much fun! Beth came to visit and introduced my kids to Talking Tom - I've forgiven her. We went swimming, multiple times. And they got to eat pizza in the hotel room! They thought it was the best night EVER!

Cheer Recital

This year the girls decided to do cheer instead of dance.

They still walk around the house doing kicks and jumps - it's super fun!

Alexis has perfected her one handed cartwheel and she's pretty darn good at doing the splits too! Madison loves to try everything and loves to do her kicks - especially into the back-end of some of her siblings or parents.
