The Day After Christmas!!!

The day after Christmas, WE GOT SNOW!!! YEAH!! 
The kids were so excited!!

Christmas Day!!!

Christmas day is always a fun, exciting, family and an exhausting day :O)!!
We started with Christmas Morning at Boomer's Dad's house. It is so fun to wake up to the fun new presents that Santa brought. We always share this with Boomer's parents and his brother, Tyson and Jennie and family. I love it!!!

We then get ready and spend the Afternoon and my Parents house. We have lunch and open presents. The big present this year was my Mom and Dad bought most of the grand kids PILLOW PETS...YEAH!!! They were so excited!! 




There was no snow on Christmas, so we were able to play outside and get some great grand kid pictures. Mom's favorite thing!!! The three cute things in the corner picture are my nieces (Jasmine, Syd and Jade).....we call them the Twinkies, they are always together so it's easier to just yell "TWINKIES" and get them all. My Mom found some great shirts that said, "TWINKIE" on them. They were sooooo excited.


In the Evening we go up to Boomer's Mom's house. For an amazing dinner and fun times with family. The dinner was fantastic has always and being with the family was amazing. We slept over and had a great time. The two youngest got Mobigo from Grandma and Grandpa and played with them all night. They loved them. Rylee was spoiled with Hello Kitty everything, and Morgan got her Ipod Shuffle. Fun stuff.

Christmas this year was so fun. I love going home for the holidays and being with the family. We were so grateful for everyone that made our day special. 
We love ya!!

Fun Times!!




At my parents house, they have great sledding hill in there back yard. The kids LOVE running up and sledding down the hill for hours. We had a small snow storm so, we had to take advantage of it before it melted.


Crazy dress up clothes. Jos, got all these clothes from a white elephant party. She was soooooooo excited to have new dress up clothes.

Christmas Eve!!

I love Christmas Eve..the excitement in the air, the new PJ's and cuddling on the couch watching Polar Express.
At Boomer's parents house they always had a tradition growing up of having a big Fondue dinner. So, we always look forward to a great dinner with family. 
It was so YUMMY!!!

Fun times with family. It was SOOOO exciting to finally meet our sweet nephew/cousin Gabe. He is the sweetest little guy. I had to fight with the kids who was going to feed him. It was a group effort. So, fun!!! We had all the families in for Christmas, it was fun to play and catch up with everyone.

Christmas Eve dinner for the little ones Jos, Cedric and Luke...Hot Dog Octopuses...they 
loved eating the tentacles ;o)


New PJ's.....this is my favorite. I love getting new PJ's.


We slept over at Boomer's parent's house waiting for Santa. The kids all slept on the floor downstairs all in a row. The night was so fun, up until I had a sweet little voice at my side at 2 in the morning telling me Jos just throw up everywhere. UGH!!! It was all over the bedding pillows and her sister. So, after the middle of the night showers and the cleaning up, throwing everything outside to deal with in the morning. She was feeling better in the morning, thank goodness.

Sledding Fun!!!

We had a fun afternoon sledding with Boomer's family. It was a perfect day!! The kids had so much fun. After we got done sledding a HuGe SnOwBaLl fight broke out, Luke and Jos even got in on it...I think Mo got the worst of it, she was ganged up on by her Grandpa and Uncle Tyson. ;o) 
It was a very fun day with family.


As soon as I got Jos's snow clothes on, she went right over and fell backwards into the snow, with the biggest smile one...she LOVES the snow!!

Our Cute Little Penguin

Rylee has been working so hard for this night!! She was in a play with her 1st grade class. She did amazing. She had multiple parts and did perfect on all of them. We were so proud. She had to memorize a page long poem, she had it down perfect. It was a fun night. She was cheered on loudly and excitedly from her two younger siblings, it was really funny. Luke had a hard time staying away from her, he tried to run the stage, but I caught right before he got on it...he was ticked, he just wanted his Rylee. Here are some cute shots of her performance. We are so proud of you, Rylee!!













Our Sweet Little Guy is TWO!!!

We had a fun few days celebrating LuKe'S 2Nd BiRtHDaY . It was a really fun birthday. He is at the perfect age and was so excited about all of his "BOY" toys. This poor house has so much PINK in it, it was fun to buy trucks, trains and basketball hoops!! I don't know if Luke or Boomer were more excited about all the fun new "BOY" toys!!





Luke had A LOT of help from his sister's opening presents!! We were traveling to Utah for Luke's birthday, so we celebrated it on the Saturday 
before his actual birthday!!

We were still traveling on Luke's birthday driving to Utah, so that night we had a quick celebration with cake and ice cream for his birthday.

Thanks to everyone that sent cards, money and 
many, many birthday wishes. It was a very fun day.
