Disneyland

In January we went to Disneyland. It's becoming our annual thing. We just have so much fun there. This year it was nice to have the Wilsons with us. After we told them we booked our trip, they found out Ryan could have that same week off so they joined us. The kids had so much fun together. Of course there were meltdowns, arguments over the strollers, so tired they just fell asleep in the stroller, and even a little sickness. None of that mattered because it's the happiest place on earth! On our last night there Dan, Jessica, and the kids joined us in the park. We always love seeing them and wish we lived closer. I would go again tomorrow if we could and so would Dan and the kids.

Christmas Finally

I know this post is long overdue! Sorry mom. We had a wonderful Christmas due to Santa's ability to find deals. I will admit I love the black Friday madness. It's kinda crazy that I see that as fun! The kids had so much fun with all their new toys. Looking at all these pics makes me miss the holiday season.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went to Zoo Lights. We had so much fun that we are going to make that a tradition. It was cool to see all the animal light displays. After we got home the kids got to open a few presents. It's our tradition to have them open their pj's and a new ornament. This year they got to open their pillow pets they got from grandma Sue and grandpa Jim. They were so excited to sleep with their new pillows.

#1 Accessory

As I was getting Stella dressed the other day, I realized she really has such cute outfits. I love this one. Thanks again Nancy and Laura! The only probably is, we cover her outfits up. She is such a spitter. I started putting bibs on everyday. This helps with all the clothes she was going through. Upside, less laundry. Downside, hides her cute outfits.

Holiday Fun

December is such a busy month. We started out the festivities by going to get a tree. The kids were so excited to help pick out our tree. We went and were told the tree farm trees were in the front and the wild trees were in the back. I told Dan I wanted a wild tree. We had fun decorating the tree together. Last Monday we went over to the Bowmans to decorate gingerbread houses. Addie was more concerned with eating the candy. Kyler's house was all about patterns. Our house was crazy. Dan decided to make a lake out of the candy glue. Because of the color, he decided the snowman was actually peeing in the lake. Santa was drowning in the lake. On the other side of the house Dan had Santa lifting weights. I know, I know, he's crazy! The funniest part of the night was when Addie decided to be Santa. She was talking in her manly voice and having everyone sit on her lap so she could ask them what they wanted for Christmas. I don't know where she comes up with this stuff but it was so funny! On Tuesday we went down to Temple Square with the Terrells and the Wilsons to see the lights. It was a little busy but way fun. I think this was Addie's first year really understanding the story of Christmas. It was fun to see her get excited to see baby Jesus. I look forward to all the fun this next week will bring.
