Merry Christmas!

Christmas was so fun! The day got started to early, like always. We can thank Brittany for that:) she was in our room from about 3 o'clock on every few minutes asking if we could go see what santa brought. It was one of those nights that I felt like I would do almost anything for those few extra minutes of sleep. We did make her wait until 6:00, and she did survive just to let you know. The kids had a ball, Brex totally understood the unwrapping thing. Londyn went right to her new dollhouse, and Brex to his racetrack, and then Britt was quick to find her new mint chocolate phone. After letting the kids play for a bit, we went to nana & papa's house for breakfast with the fam. It is tradition to have "buiscuts & choc gravy" it is so yummy! we look forward to the few times a year that we get this treat. We then spent most of the day there with fam. A few of these pics are from our Christmas eve party that was done Hawaiian style. Hope you all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Once there was a snow man

So my kids just LOVE to do the snowthing, so while being in Utah this past weekend. Londyn especially, really wanted to be outside alot. She kept asking her uncle Blaine to help her to build a snow man. So they did get one built and it looked great!

Jordon is home from Oregon:)

So on Friday 21st morning, Brex & I flew to SL to see my bro fly in from his mission. He has been serving in Portland, OR. He looks so great! I love my fam, so even though the weather was very snowy and very very cold, which made his flight delayed several hours. We still had a great time visiting, while taking over the busy holiday airport. Afterwards we went to eat and then to see the Joseph Smith movie. It was fantastic! we then went to the Temple Square lights. Brex was having a hard time because the day was a long one, and he never did get a good nap in, soooo we didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked, but what we did see really helped to get into the Christmas spirit. So my mom will just love this picture of her with her eyes closed (this is a regular thing with her and picture taking:))))) the people in the pics are my sisters and my mom and in the background is my dad. In the other pic is me and my Bro Jordon.

Britt's Pro decorating skills

Brittany went to a Austin's, who is a friend from schools party this past Saturday. They have an annual gingerbread house making party for Christmas every year, there were oddles of people there. His mom is like a super mom, she baked enough sugar cookies to build atleast 30-40 of these ginormous houses. They had tons of candy to decorate with, I am sure of the fact that this was a hit for everyone, infact I think that I want to try to make one:) when Britt got the invite, I seriously was expecting like the grahm cracker over emty milk carton style houses. Fun fun! the kids are so funny, they are just dying to eat this thing, but we have it displayed on the kitchen table. Sooo, Britt has set up some rules, the back of this house is free game as long as noone takes things from the front. Ha, you should see what the back is looking like a week later. Londyn spends I swear half the day checking things out deciding what she is going for and then how to make the attempt for it even though she is always wanting the stuff she cant have. This has created much entertainment.

We have lots of big things coming up besides Christmas, on the 21st my Bro Jordon will be coming home from his mission, he has been serving in the Portland Oregon mission.
