Ugly sweater party and the best kids ever

I am sooooo excited for Christmas this year and feel soooo happy to have all the horid shopping over with! Skyla is such a sweet kid and tells me she doesn't need anything for Chirstmas except for 1 Moxie girl....Kambry is obsessed with babies and everything to do with them, Skyla up and decided one day since Kambry likes babies so much that she could have all the baby toy things and since she is a big girl she gets all the barbies.

We had a great time at the neighborhood ugly sweater party and really enjoyed all the white elephant gifts. We ended up with Odull's that fake beer and some condums.....which we obviously don't need right now.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that this pregnancy doesn't go by too slow now that the holidays are getting close to being over.

Time sure does fly!

Every once in a while when I stop and think about how fast time has gone and how many memories I have and how many I forget it makes me feel a little guilty for not keeping a better record of things going on. I do keep personal journals for me but I think I might want to burn them before I die!

Anyways life has been full of many blessings this year and I am so grateful for the wonderful family I have and the love, laughter and support they give me each and everyday.

I am going to do better at keeping up with the blogging world.

New Years

We had a great New Years!! We started out the night by making paper hats and the fun went from there! We went out to dinner with some of Wes's friends and their wives and children and came home and went to bed by 11!! I was really trying hard to stay awake til midnight but kids really make you tired and it wasn't worth the loss of sleep I would get from staying awake! On New Years day we all wrote down some resolutions that we wanted to accomplish for the year! I had to help Skyla and Kambry. It will be fun to get them out next New Years Eve and see if we accomplished our goals or not. Soooo 1 of our resolutions was to go on a vacation this year since we graduated college in December we wanted to celebrate by going on a trip....well anyways we went to a Dixie college basketball game and entered in a drawing for a free trip to Hawaii and well....Wes's name was picked out of the drawing!!!! The trip is to travel with the team for 7 days and 7 nights it includes airfare, hotels, travel while on the islands, sailing, various tours, and of course 3 men and womens basketball game tickets. We are sooo excited and can't believe we won it out of over 1000 people!!! I am really nervous about leaving the kids or taking them with us....whatever we decide it will be interesting!

Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year with the kids! Skyla had a lot of fun opening her presents from Santa! I can't believe how much she really understood I told her that Christmas is a big birthday party for Jesus and that Santa brings us presents from Jesus to open for him since he is in heaven and wants us all to be happy! I know a little far off but it was the only way to try to keep the holiday about Christ. We did go see the nativity at the temple and now whenever we pass the temple or a church she will say, " Mom? Do you see the temple? I saw Jesus at the temple." It is really cute and helps me to appreciate her sweet innocent spirit.

We were pretty happy that we didn't go all out on Kambry this year since we had been through the baby phase on Christmas and knew she only needed a couple things to open. She seriously played with one of Skyla's hair ties the whole time.

All Skyla wanted for Christmas was a pink scooter and that was what Santa brought....so she was totally happy with 1 or 2 presents. We bought her way more than she really needed but it was fun for us to watch her open them anyways.

Skyla and I ready to go to the Finlinson Christmas party.
