Christmas!

Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year! My heart is always overwhelmed with feelings of Love and Appreciation, for all I have. Being surround by the spirit, Family and loved ones is by far the greatest joy we can feel! And the food is always amazing! ;)


Each December we have Elves popping in and out of our House! They always leave a clue for the kids that lead to a Christmas book! Every once in a while they leave us a treat instead! So for Family Home Evening's we got to bake and create all sorts of fun Holiday Treats! We had the most fun with the Snowmen and Gingerbread houses!

Mommee's snowman

Carters snowman - he was more interested in eating all of the parts before he could add it to the snowman.

Chasee's snowman. She is so particular when she creates. It's the funnest thing to watch!


Ryker just chilling as a little snowman :)

Our Gingerbread Houses we left out for santa!

Dad helped the three of us instead of making his own :)

This year we spent the week leading up to Christmas and Christmas here in Colorado at "Nana's and Pompa's" house. We all had such a great time! The best part for the kids was getting to sleep next to the tree with Nana!



Santa definately spoiled us this year! We even caught a few pictures of him... just dont tell ;) The kids LOVED seeing these!







The kids made Dustan a mug! And drew all over it! Cutest thing ever! Even Ryker added his own art work to it!


A few days after Christmas we headed to Utah. We had such a wonderful time visiting with family. We celebrated New Years Eve and Carters Birthday with my parents. And my sweet little nephew Jaxon was Baptised Jan 01, 2011, the same day as Carter's Birthday!!

  2. Those Santa pictures are awesome, I bet Chasee would have freaked out if she woke uo while he was standing above her! haha!
    PS- did you straighten Chasee's hair? It looks so pretty in those pictures with the snowmen and gingerbread houses. Your family is so cute!
