Family Pictures

We got family pictures taken back in September. Poor Annie was sick and not in the mood to take pictures so we didn't get really good ones of her but other than that I love how they turned out.

Christmas

  Christmas Eve we did our traditional dough-nut breakfast and dodge-ball game. Later that night we re-enacted the Christmas story, opened books, pj's and the presents the kids gave each other.

 My mom found the cutest Christmas pj's this year.

 Christmas morning- the kids checking out the presents and eating cookies.

 Christmas morning we face timed with my family back in Utah. It was fun to have them be a part of our Christmas morning.

 Annie got a new doll and shopping cart full of food- she has not let "Baby Ella" out of her sight.

 Drew and Mac playing with the new Legos

 

The boys thought the whoopee cushion was hilarious

 

The big gift was a Wii, we are little behind in the times. The kids and drew played it for most of the day.

While we missed being with our families, Christmas this year was pretty perfect.

Santa train

 

The Saturday before Christmas we took a ride on the Santa train. The boys were excited to go on their first real train ride but an hour into it they were done. And sweet little Annie screamed at the first sight of Santa and never really relaxed enough to enjoy the train ride. While the boys were visiting with Santa I took Annie to the other side of the train until she settled down and Santa left.

Christmas Season

Ward Christmas Party

I figured I should do one more photo dump from my phone before the Christmas festivities begin...

Our ward Christmas party was a hit this year.

The Kids Making bird Seed wreaths for Mac's teachers

Me and my Shadow

Southern Lights with the Hills

You would think Mac would love feeding animals but he's terrified. We made him feed the wallaby.

We started potty training Annie for the mere fact she would not wear a diaper. She now will wear a diaper and go to the bathroom on the toilette so we will start the real potty training after Christmas

It Snowed!

We made Gingerbread houses

The little sneak opening a Christmas book.

Dinner with Friends

The 21st on the way to work Drew slid on some ice and crashed into a tree.  Luckily he was not hurt at all but  his car was totaled.
