Tea Party Anyone??

Hailey set up this darling tea party and so I had to take some cute pictures. She was so proud of it.

Within minutes Sam started getting into it. He kind of loves to bug Hailey.

New Year's Eve 2010

For New Year's Eve we booked a local hotel. We checked in early and immediately went swimming. Then we had dinner in our room and the girls had popcorn and a movie!!

When we walked into our room the first thing Ellie did was to jump on the bed and Hailey went for the phone.

A pic of me and the girls. Notice Sam in the background. We couldn't get him to sit by us. He doesn't really stop much. He is so busy!!

Getting ready to Swim!!

Sam is a brave little boy and was jumping into the pool.

Ellie getting ready to go swimming.

Hailey pulling one of her great faces. We had a great time together. The kids thought it was so awesome. We even went swimming the next day before we left. Welcome 2011...its going to be a great year!!

Jumping Jungle

During Christmas break I took the girls to a bounce house to get out some of their energy. They loved it. Ellie in a Velcro suit. I was surprised she did this.

Ellie boxing...watch out this girl is serious!

Sam found this little corner with some balls and did not want to leave.

Elise and Hailey in the bounce house. This girls are so dang cute!!!

Friendly Goat

On the way home from Christmas we stopped at my brothers house in Howell for dinner. We went out to look at his horses and this cute little goat keep following us. It's like a dog. So friendly. Hailey loved this little goat so it keep following her. Ellie of course was scared of it. This picture is probably one of my favorites. She is so funny!! What is she going to be like when she is 16......I'm scared!!!

Santa Visit x2

We took the kids to see Santa in Utah. When we got their Santa was taking a break so we had to wait a few minutes. In the meantime the kids went on a train ride and then David came back where I was and said there was a Santa in front of Dillards with no line so we ran down and took a bunch of pictures and then ran back to this Santa. Probably a great way to confuse the kids. But they loved it. Sam didn't even cry.

Waiting to see Santa number 2. These girls were so very excited!!!

The Dillards Santa. He was pretty awesome with his amazing beard!

Hailey just loved him. Last year she really didn't want much to do with it!

Christmas 2010 Pictures

Me and the girls sprinkling oatmeal and glitter for Santa's reindeer on Christmas Eve.

Waiting to come down and see what Santa left. Hailey sleep in the little silver hat that Uncle Eric gave her.

Sam checking out his new pillow pet puppy. He loves it and sleeps on it every night. He walks into his room saying, "Puppy, puppy, puppy."

Ellie with her DS that she asked Santa for. A couple of days later she could remember anything that Santa gave her. Why do we do it?????

Hailey with her new puppy which she quickly named, "Paws." These girls and their stuffed animals. They love them!!! I guess cause that can't have the real thing!

New pj's from Auntie Susie!!

These are scentsy animals from Auntie Susie. They have scents in them. They smell so good!! I love walking into a room and being able to smell them and they are the dang cutest stuffed animals I have ever seen!!!

We had a great Christmas. We had a really special Christmas eve with my family. I am so thankful for a wonderful family and especially for the opportunity to celebrate the birth of our Savior. It is because of Him that we can all be together forever!
