Christmas Day!!!

SO Just a little excited!!
Bailey is all about Hannah Montana
The new Ski Helmet for my four year old who thinks he can jump cliffs this year, and believe me those are his exact words.
High school Musical attire.. No day would be complete without at least one childs nervous break down.. usually cause by uncle Mike, this day was no exception to that rule

So Christmas Eve at Grandma Coe's was CRAZY!! But a big crowd pleaser for this group of kiddos.. I had to work until 6pm , so Chris met me at the hospital , but the roads were terrible.. But we made it to Salt Lake, just in time for dinner , presents and to head back home.. The roads were once again terrible and it took us many hours to get back but we made it..And we made it before Santa even had time to wrap the presents, make breakfast , clean the house...


Baby Jace was festively dressed!! He's a trick baby and likes to be sideways.. I forgot to rotate picture.
This doll has an oh so fabulous story... Angie had ordered this doll that Bailey has wanted for awhile and it came in the nick of time on Christmas Eve. Bailey has not put the doll down since. Huge hit!! Wait to go Aunt Angie!!

Wrappin' up the List!

My kids had to see Santa to go over last minute changes they may have made to the list.. I'll tell you the changes I've made.... If we went by what we deserve???? Anyhow Cannon turned the tables on Santa and had a million questions for him.. What time are you coming? Where will you park??How come your wife isn't here?? Where's your kids??

Finishing Touches!!

So I came home from work on Friday to find Chris had helped the kids make gingerbread houses and popcorn balls for the neighbors!! He did this all on his own, we hadn't even talked about it! He's quite the dad, the popcorn maker , but the frosting on the gingerbread houses did need a little help- but 2/3 aint shabby!

We love this stuff!!

Sat. Dec. 21

Chris and the kids tubing , and their mother you ask? Where was she? Well she worked the night shift and to give her a little sleep Chris takes the kids out and keeps them, or really himself entertained!! Oh and Mike helps!IF you look close you can see Rudy on the back of the tube, he loves it as much as everyone else...

See ya Next Year!!

Remember when that was your favorite thing to stay to eachother at Christmas break -like it was the funniest thing ever?.. Today was Baileys' last day of school for the Christmas break and they had crazy hair day as the theme!! So here it is front and back!! We giggled the whole way to school being quite proud of our creation!!

Christmas Tradition?

So What a great night this was!! My favorite part of the NutCracker was how much Bailey is still talking about it!!! God bless my mom and all she does to make memories with us all! Another surprise of the night was how much Hunter loved it. I actually drew his name this year and I have purchased him tickets for the entire ballet season. I can't wait to see his face on Christmas when he opens my gift. Hunter has been known to cry when he loves a gift so much, and I aim to please!!

Cookie Time

So we invited a few of the kids friends over to make cookies. We thought we could share some with friends. However the cookies were nibbled on, spoons licked multiple times, and the cookies were a little over the top with candy, sprinkles and ten pounds of frosting each.. Oh well ... Oh, and if you look close at Chris' cookie, he put a peace sign in the middle (such a dork)

Christmas Present...

So I have been a little -bah humbug- this year and am not sure why?? I have two little kids that are over enthusiastic about Christmas but I am slow to get into the swing of things!! So now that its Jan. I finally got a Christmas Tree (kidding but it will be Jan. soon).... The Christmas traiters in the family all went to artificial trees. I still braved the 20 degree cold weather with the two kids and found the tree.. After cursing my own name trying to drag the tree off the car, get it to stand up straight (still leaning), and then decorate it - I thought ,fake is so me!! I've been fake for years - so why not join the ranks and buy a fake tree for next year!! So the day after Christmas you may see me shopping for my next years tree!!

Christmas Past

Last year we spent Christmas in Vermont and New Year's in San Antonio!! We spent time ice skating , Skiing, shopping , eating, partying with family and friends and oh what a holiday it was!!
