December

Alrighty…. time to blog. Jeff said so. ha ha ha.

First of all. Merry Christmas! Hope it was fantabulous! I love LOVE Christmas. One of my favorite times of the year.

We have spent some time snuggling and watching old home videos. Hilarious. Brady was the cutest stinkin baby ever. Kenna and Marissa look so so much alike. It is a little strange.

We also went to Temple Square to see the lights. They are so pretty. We hadnt been for a really long time. I knew the kids would love them. But the whole time, they just asked to go back to the hotel so they could go swimming. Little farts.

 

Brady and Marissa got all bundled up and spent a few hours in the snow. They have been playing awesome together lately. I love that they are such good friends.

We always do schnitzel on Christmas Eve at my parents house. We then open the presents from and to each other….which of course include jammies. As you may remember, we have a theme…this year was Family Guy cuz this year has been “All about Family”. Gosh. Kids got spoiled rotten. Of course.

Coltin and Holly. His girly friend.

Another tradition…reindeer food. Awe. It was FREEZING so it was more of a dump and run back inside than spreading it around. Fortunately, it still worked cuz Santa found us.

Marcus’ mom, dad and sister came up to spend Christmas with us. It is always a lot of fun to hang out with them. The kids absolutely loved it.

Christmas Morning began and the not so crazy hour of 7:30. Amazing. Kids got everything they had asked for, so they were excited.

 

Papa Dave, Nana, Rissa and Missy

Brady and his fun slides. Crazy little things. He has only wiped out about 20 times. Miracle of miracles, there hasn't been any blood shed…yet.

And Missy with her awesome floor mats. How cool is that!?!?

  

Mooo.

Little Missy-Moo who cried at our wedding cuz she hated me and the fact that I was taking her brother way is graduating this year. Wow. Makes me feel old. We took some pics while she was here… She is so stinking photogenic, I am sure Kenna could have taken them and she would have been golden. I love her. I love her goofy-ness and her stinking gorgeous blue eyes.

So that is about all she wrote. Talked to Jed on Christmas, he is doing good. Miss him.

Spent the morning cleaning the kids’ rooms while they are gone. That way they wont know what I threw away…which was 3 bags full. Plus, I don't spend the morning yelling and end up in a bad mood which is a bonus. Thinking about painting the girls’ room. But then I would have to do Brady's…so I am still in the thinking part.

Hope your Christmas was wonderful and that you have a fabulous New Years!
