Christmas Morning

Danny always likes to get a picture of how neat everything is before it gets all destroyed.

I have to say it looks like the kids were good this year. Hmmm. Not sure about that, however Santa's a pretty nice guy and came anyways. Despite mom telling everyone he wasn't coming. Brody didn't believe me. And sure enough he was right. Santa did come after all.

Codan wasn't sure of what was going on. But he decided it was a lot of fun!

She loved her new sketchers. Look DAD!


Brody thought he was too cool with his skateboard. However he was a little upset that Santa didn't bring one for his friend Caviston too. I told him Cavy got what he wanted and that it was very nice of him to think of his friend.

Karlee wanted an art table to store all of her crafts! It has also been great for doing her homework!


The kids on the teeter totter Santa brought for Jadyn. They all loved it!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to Danny's Families it was so much fun. We ate lots of yummy food of course! The kids did the Nativity Play. It was soo cute. I didn't think it would go as well as it did, but they did a great job. Karlee and Brody wanted to leave and get home for Santa. This year was so much fun because they believed so much. The drive home they kept watching out the window for Rudolph. The Christmas Season really comes alive with little kids. I'm so grateful for my kids and the joy and laughter they bring into our lives. Remember to cherish these moments because they grow up so fast!

Brody and Caviston all dressed up for their parts. Brody was Joseph and Caviston was a Shepherd.

Karlee was the angel and her cousin Monterey was Mary.

The whole group

Isn't he sooo cute!

Santa Clause

We were so busy this year that we were lucky to get one picture with Santa at our ward Christmas party. It wasn't the best but at least we got one. It's a good thing Santa has a big lap. We better stop at four kids so they can all fit!! I thought Codan would be scared but I guess he figured his brother had his back. What was there to be scared of. The older kids were so excited everyone was talking at once. Karlee started to cry because she wasn't sure if Santa had herd what she wanted.
