Christmas in St. George

Merry Christmas! We spent Christmas weekend in St. George. It was really nice and relaxing. The weather was pleasant and we had a great time. Here are some of the things we did. After I uploaded these, I realized they are not in order.

Uncle Sam

Presents from Santa

Uncle Bry, Aunt Lulu, Lola (in tummy), and Jackson

This is sadly the only pic I got of my parents. My grandma Joyce was there too, but I didn't get a pic of her. And sadly, we didn't get a picture of the whole family together.

New Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve

This pic should go before the one above it.

Here is a little of what we have been doing this month...

Building a snowman at night...

Jackson's kindergarten Christmas program which lasted all of 6 minutes...of which I showed up 5 minutes late...

London's outfit...Christmas pjs, Halloween shirt, summer tanktop, pink cowboy boots...

Took Teddie to the groomers and they put Christmas bows in her hair. She looked so cute and very nicely groomed...

Got to see Santa at ward Christmas party and tell him what we wanted for Christmas...

London was too shy to talk, but sat on his lap anyway (I didn't think she'd even do that)...

Got a visit from Uncle Sam who helped the kids build the gingerbread house. Sam spent many minutes getting the gingerbread man to sit on the rooftop...

A visit to Temple square...Wes sure looks happy...(he actually wasn't feeling well poor guy)...

a visit from Riley, Chelsea, and Laura who all stayed with us for a night or 2...

a long visit from Aunt Lulu and baby Lola in her tummy. We love when Aunt Lulu comes...

Saundra gave her first Christmas piano recital and Jackson played in it along with her 14 students. He did very well.

Now we can breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy Christmas vacation!

Merry Christmas!

Snow!

We have received so much snow these past couple days so every morning for the last 3 days I have had to spend 20 sweatbreaking minutes finding and getting the snowclothes on the kids. It's not so bad since the whole time I get them ready I am thinking I am going to get a good half hour of peace and quiet while they play outside, so it's worth it, right? No, they only spend about 5 minutes outside then they want to come in because they are cold. AAAHHH!

But they do look so cute in their snow clothes.

My expression after about 5 minutes and I hear them knocking on the door to come in.

Wes checked the insulation in the attic and Jackson wanted so badly to go up there with him. He cried and cried till we finally said ok, then he cried and cried cause he was scared to get up there. He looks like he is smiling in this picutre, but no, he was crying the whole time.

Our Christmas tree. It looks kind of ghetto in this picture, but it is really pretty with the lights on. The kids love it. It finally feels like Christmas with it up.

Thanksgiving Weekend 09

We spent Thanksgiving in Rexburg with both our families. It was a great weekend. Here is what we did:

Plane ride with Grandpa (Jackson and Wes)
Now you know why they call it the Snake River

Cute Boy in the plane

We had Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday at the Wood's and on Friday with the Nye's. I didn't take any pictures of us stuffing our faces though. On Saturday we went with the Nye clan in the mountains to get a Christmas tree. Teddie came with us.

Not a Nye outing without a fire...

Isn't this the cutest ever?

Nice hat, mommy!

Our Christmas tree with Dillon, Jacks, and Londie

Daddy and Londie pulled Chelsea and Riley's tree back to our car a long way.
