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!!!
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!!!
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!!!
Hailey just loved him. Last year she really didn't want much to do with it!
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!
I surprised the girls with tickets to the Nutcracker. It was a girls night out. No boys allowed. I think they loved that part more than the show. They had a great time and loved every part. I thought they might fall asleep, at least Hailey because we had a long day, but they stayed awake the entire time. I think they fell asleep in about 3 minutes after we got into the van.
Elsie, Hailey, and Ellie.
Kim, Elsie, Me, Hailey, and Ellie. Hailey does not look so happy. I think Ellie and just pushed her. We had a great time.
I just wanted to share the reason my tree will not stay decorated!!!!
Sam takes off all the ordainments and brings them to me!!!
I used to put them back on the tree, know I am just collecting them in a basket. So I guess he is doing his part to help me take down the tree!!! He just so cute....its hard to get mad!
We made our annual houses with some friends. Elise and Hailey in the process of decorating.
Ellie was so happy and excited to decorate. She is getting so big I only had to help her spread a little frosting and then she didn't want anymore help, which is so nice!!!
Sam and Me by some of our creations. He keep trying to steal the candy. All of our friends are so nice and helpful with him! He is a busy little boy!!
