We are Blessed


We had our ultra sound and everything looks really good. That is always a blessing! We still did not find out if it is a girl or boy. It was very hard for Matt not to look. I need to add a picture of our cute baby, but for now these three cuties will have to do. We are all happy and healthy. We have much to be grateful for!

Merry Christmas!




We had a wonderful White Christmas - Literally. It snowed all day. Mikaela got a DS, Koby and Kai got some cool new trains. We had a relaxing morning and then went to the movies with the Cochran's and then to their house for dinner. It was a very relaxing and fun day. We wanted to go to Utah but the roads were mostly closed. We were sad to not see our family but had a lot of fun just hanging out around here.

Christmas Eve and PJ's

Mikaela put together a great program for us. Her and Koby sang songs with cool dance moves. Next we tried to do the manger seen. Kai made it a little difficult. It was easier when he played baby Jesus.

















The kids loved their PJ'S! Makai loved the trains on his!



Christmas Memories


First we went to see the Zoo lights with the Cochran's. It wasn't Temple Square, but it was pretty amazing.



Next our stake did a huge production for Christmas. The kids got to dress up and be in the manger. I wanted Kai to be the donkey or sheep, but he would not put on the costume. I thought he would love it because it looked like his dog costume from Halloween, but no such luck!





















We got snow - Lots of snow!
I thought we were escaping it this year. That made us all sad. So we were super excited to get lots of snow. The kids got to go sledding and school and church were cancelled. The best part is the next week, it was all melted and we are done with it.



Polar Express



I took the kids on the Polar Express train ride. It was so much fun. It was just like the movie from the Conductor, the hot chocolate to the north pole. The kids had so much fun. Kai loved to dance around and Mikaela and Koby definitely BELIEVE in Santa. :)



Yummy Hot Chocolate!



Looking outside to see the North Pole and Santa.




Kaela and Kai enjoying the ride.





Kai was super sad to say goodbye to the train.
