Merry Christmas 2010

I managed to set my camera again and get some good pictures of Santa in our house. The kids love this.

Krissa made this picture for Santa. I had to take a picture of it since Santa would be taking it with him.

Waiting at the stairs…

Paislee jumping up and down because she got the baby doll she wanted=)

Santa left these cool hats for the kids.

Krissa and all her loot.

Brady and his loot along with the toy I’m sure Uncle Brent would like to come over and play with.

I told the kids to pose how they wanted. These are the poses they came up with. Silly kids.

The annual family picture. Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve

The kids were opening up their Christmas eve presents (pajamas again) and Brady reached in the tree to give Brian and I our present. While he was with my friend Maren while Brian was getting surgery. They went to a little place here in town and painted some ceramic's. I seriously think this little flying pig is the cutest thing. I'm so proud of him for keeping a secret this long.

The kids modeling their new pajamas=)

Now we are off to drink hot cocoa and watch A Christmas Story. Merry Christmas.

Here we go again…

If you haven't already heard. We are moving again. Hopefully for the last time. Brian is being transferred to Utah so were are packing up an moving to Saratoga Springs. We just  found out yesterday our offer was accepted on this house and I’m so excited. It even has the added perk that one of our good friends lives a couple blocks away. (For those of you who know them its Kyle and Melina Bailey). We are all sad to leave our little town in Idaho but we are excited to be closer to family and to start our new adventure. Utah here we come.

Christmas program brought to you by Krissa and Paislee

Krissa called us all upstairs because she and Paislee had put together a Christmas program. Including dancing, piano playing and she even had a speech about how Christmas wasn't about presents. Such a cute girl. I love that she is so creative=)

Thomas Christmas Party

This year at our Thomas Christmas party we had a special guest. Santa! (who looked mysteriously like our friend Cody Rhoades) We had a great party and the kids got a lot of fun things. Including the pillow pets Krissa and Paislee have been asking for. Its always great to get together with family, even though Ray and his kids couldn’t make it.

Ashton opening his present after he got the wrapping off he immediately started eating it and wanted nothing to do with the toy. haha

Krissa's Christmas program

We went to Krissa's Christmas program last night. Its always so fun to see all the kids sing. One reason I love living here is looking at all the kids faces and knowing most of them and their parents by name.

Jesse, Jillian, Malanie, Krissa (Krissa's best friends)

All the 4th graders

Jesse, Krissa, Natalie

Brady's christmas program

All the second graders.

Tonight was Brady's Christmas singing program at school. He was so cute and held this exact face when he wasn't singing. The program was so cute I pretty much find myself holding back tears the whole time I watch them every year. As we were leaving the school I backed up into some snow and hurried to make sure it wasn't a car, when I hear Brady in the back seat say "I'll check for dead bodies". Funny kid.

This song had the cutest actions to it.

Santa

It only took 3 years but Paislee finally loves Santa and actually wanted to sit on his lap. She sat right up there and told him everything she wants. Which is a big deal since last year all she could say is no Santa is scary. haha

This is why you shouldnt get in fist fights in highschool...

Brian finally decided to bite the bullet and have his deviated septum fixed and while they were at it they straightened his nose out. His surgery went really well and he has only driven me a little crazy with slight amnesia (I think he asked 3 times what I had for lunch haha). I also had to laugh a little when I was reading the after surgery instructions when they said "do not make any decisions of the legal nature for 24 hrs." haha Thankfully we had some great friends who watched the kids while we were gone and had yummy food ready for us from another friend when we got home. If he will let me I will post a before and after next week.
