Christmas!

Hailee excited about what she got.
Derek and his quilt! Derek's mother past away 3 years ago and while they were cleaning out some stuff of hers I wanted some her shirts. So I made him a quilt out of a few of her shirts for him so he can remember her while snuggling up getting warm.

This year for Christmas we had a lot of fun. The girls got a big Barbie house from Santa. Derek and I got a iPad. We decided to go in on a together gift. The girls also got some cute animal hats, games, little pony remote control car, clothes, and pillow beds. Kason received boy toys, clothes, and a blanket. Derek received clothes, movies, and a blanket that I made from his mom's tee shirts. He loves it and it reminds him of her and the iPad of course. I received a new electric griddle, pancake pen, calendar, slippers, and the iPad too. The girls only got to see what was in there stockings before we had to get ready for church today but it was a great day.

Kason 8 Months Old



Kason is 8 months old now and is very busy. He has started to crawl. He claps his hands. He loves to hold every toy above his head. It is so cute! He has started to pull his himself up to standing even. I can't believe how much he is growing. He is loving boy toys too. We love having him in our family.

Santa Claus


While were in St George for Thanksgiving we went to Santa's Workshop and Santa was there so of course the girls wanted there pictures taken with him.

Target Funny!




While we were at Target the girls saw these silly headbands and they wanted there picture taken with them on.

Live Nativity




A few weeks ago we went to a live Nativity that is here in Alpine. It was a lot of fun. The feeling there was really special. Especially when you go into the stable to see Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus. It was a real baby too. The girls were really excited to see the baby Jesus. Then they give you hot chocolate after too. There was even real animals. Ellie really like the camels, donkey, and the sheep. We will defiantly be going next year too.

Dance Recital





The girls dance recital was really fun this year because both of the girls got to participate. The dance recital theme this year was when I grow up. Ellie danced to the song Magic by BOB and there class was when they grow up they want to go to Hogwarts. Hailee's class danced to Great Balls of Fire and her class was when they grow up they want to be fire fighters. The girls loved that they could wear make-up and actually get to wear mascara.
