"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Merry Christmas 2010 (Part 1)


Christmas Eve day we went sledding for a short time. Lily went down this huge hill on her new sled:





Before, I took the older three girls to see "Tangled" in the theater. They loved it! So did I, it was a cute movie. Here they are with their 3D glasses:






Later that evening, we all went out to dinner at a restaurant called Buzzards. The food was really good, the company was great!





This is after at Nana and Grandpa's house. Here are all the kids in their new matching PJ's. This was taken with the camera on the iphone, and so everybody has the white flash eyes:





Here are some of the kids playing Just Dance Kids on the Wii. They loved it:


Before the PJ's we went the the Nativity Pageant. We were very early and so we got good, front row seats, we didn't have to wait in line at all, and we got to have a few photos taken in front of the sheep and scenery first. The weather was great too.






Earlier that day, we gave the girls a couple of early gifts. The first were these googly eyed stuffed animals they have wanted forever, and the second were these scarves I made for them, which they loved!




Group hug!


And here is Christmas morning at our house:


The girls love their Webkinz, thank you Eklunds!

Izzy with a little purple guitar:

Chloe got a little cleaning set, and it came with a vacuum that really works. She loves it. I am training her early :)


Olivia loves to push her dolls in her little car-cart:


All of the girls LOVE their American Girl dolls and Lalaloopsy dolls. Thank you Nana and Grandpa!



They all came with matching PJ's:


Lily loves her skateboard, especially just sitting on it and rolling around. She loves that it has her middle name on it too:


Olivia loves her own Bitty Baby that looks like her:
