Crazy Christmas Hat Bowling

Tim's parents took the family bowling a few day before Christmas, we were asked to make a Crazy Christmas Hat to wear. Everyone was so creative! For Zach's I just used his snow hat and sewed Sponge Bob Christmas Ornaments around it. Kayli and Tyler's are pictured below and mine was a gift wrapped box with a hole cut into the bottom and I wore it as a hat. Tim wore a Santa Hat.

Christmas! The most wonderful time of the year!

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. Lots of fun, lots of Christmas magic, lots of joy, lots of excitement! We LOVE this time of year and are so sad that is has to end.



This picture makes me smile...

We have the tradition of giving the kids PJ's to open on Christmas Eve...

Checking out what Santa left in their stockings...before going out into the living room.




Lots of hugs on Christmas...

I gave Tim a remote plane to fly outside...He doesn't look thrilled, but he really was.

Boxers and Boots!

Zach loves to run out and watch Kayli and Tyler get off the bus after school. He was so excited they were coming home and was in such a hurry, he grabbed his cowboy boots since they are the easiest to get on and ran out the door without his pants. I had to take a picture. And of course the boots are on the wrong feet. I love that boy, he makes us laugh!

Elves and Letters to Santa

We had our nieces Brook and Alyssa come stay overnight with Kayli last weekend. Saturday we went to Gardner Village to see the Elves they have all over. It was fun to go and see them and walk around the little stores. Here are a few pictures we took...




After Gardner Village we went to the Mall and stopped by Macy's so the kids could write letters to Santa. Kayli asked for Zhu Zhu pets, Barbie Camper, American Girl Doll "stuff" and American Girl Doll Julie. Tyler asked for walkie talkies and Star Wars Unleashed XBox game. Zach asked for the Toy Story Imaginext Landfill or as he calls it "Buzz Garbage."

Grandma Janet's Christmas Pizza Party

Today we went up to Ogden to have Christmas with Grandma Janet and my brother and sister's families. Kayli, Tyler and Zach were so excited. They love to see their cousins and Grandma. We had pizza, bread sticks, salad and lots of yummy treats for dessert. Then we drew names to open presents...

Kayli got an American Girl Doll Soccer uniform set for her doll. It has cleats, ball bag, 2 shirts and shorts, shin guards, socks and headband, super cute!!! She also got "Cookie" a Furreal Puppy! She was thrilled and loved her presents!





Tyler got Lego Pirates of the Carribbean XBox game and Moshi Monster Trash Pack sets. He was so excited. These are things he has wanted for awhile now. He is a happy little boy!




Zach got Star War Millennium Falcon Ship and 11 Characters to play with. He LOVED IT!




I got a shirt, cute necklace/earring set, Holiday recipe book,food chopper and $. Love it all. Tim is out of town on business so he missed the party so we will have to wait and see what he gets. :-)After opening presents the cousins played and played. Everyone loved their gifts and had a fun time together! Thanks Grandma Janet for the nice gifts and spoiling us with yummy food and a fun afternoon together!
