We Had a Merry Christmas!

Sarah is sneaking some olives before Christmas Day Dinner.

We were loving the 34 degree weather. It had been so cold just before Christmas that this was a great day to test out the new bikes!

OH the mess! I get a little Christmas cash each year and I had to go on the 26 and buy some new storage bins for their room. Santa never really thinks of the after math of all the gift giving.

Meg had such enthusiasm with each present. Immediately after the cheers for this 3 ds, she asked what it was. Don't worry she has figured it out and hasn't put it down since. Oh and Santa was a thinker, he brought dad one too, and daddy likes his as well.

A BIKE! It was a total surprise. All Sarah wanted for Christmas was a Baby.

This is Christmas eve, we can't wait for Santa! We are so lucky to have both of our families so close. We had a great day, BINGO with grandma Irene and dinner at grammy Pammies. We had family over for breakfast and for dinner. It makes the holidays so special. It was really nice to have both Christmas eve and Christmas day off from work this year. It probably won't happen for another 3 years.

Waiting for Christmas is really hard when you are 2 and 4. Fortunately Dad found a good place for 2 NAUGHTY little girls to have a time out. It wasn't long before the little girls shaped up and stopped misbehaving.

Merry Christmas!

Gingerbread and Santa

Sarah has got some great smiles these days. Her latest obsession is pockets. It started when we (wes) started limiting the Binkie. She needed to make sure she had a pocket to stash her binkie, Thus the constant jacket wearing.

They have forgotten how to smile, now they just cheese, at least they are happy girls.

We went to Kaysville for a famiy christmas party. My mom came with us. We had a great time. We stopped at Macys to mail our letters to Santa, and well Sarah was asleep, so she didn't have her picture taken. This day would have been a perfect opportunity to go see the lights at Temple Square but, I am such a wimp when it comes to the cold, that we never go see the lights at Temple square. Instead I make Wes go to the Fantasy by the Bay in Willard, you can watch from the car.

Sarah has been paranoid of "So Claus" as she calls him. We went to the cache valley mall to see him, Sarah, in the stroller covered her eyes and told me "So Claus scare me, I hide" and put her hands over her eyes. I was pretty concerned for this party, and the obviously fake Santa who would give each a girl a small present, I really wanted a Santa picture this year. Well guess what, as soon as Sarah figured out that each kid who sat on his lap got a toy, she conqured her fears and walked righ up and even let me get a pictures.

Grandma Pammy snapped this pic of the girls as we drove to Kaysville.

This is what happens when a bottle of baby wash gets dumped in the tub with 3 girls.
