I LoVe ChRiStmAs!

Can I just say how much I love Christmas and all that goes with the holiday season! I love everything about it: cookie decorating, gingerbread houses, decorating our tree, shopping (I know even with all the crazies out there), driving around looking at lights on houses, Temple lights, driving in the snow, opening up gifts from the "Many days of Christmas from my parents" then seeing Brody's face each time he gets to open one, watching Cooper try to open up gifts under the tree LOL, reading Christmas stories, remembering why we celebrate, and of course the best of all the feeling of Christmas! LOVE IT! So far we have already decorated cookies, decorated a gingerbread house, decorated our tree, done tons of shopping, making wheelies in the snow, and opening up gifts each day until Christmas.

We have good news!!! HA Ha No we aren't pregnant. We have sold our house. If everything continues to go well, we will be out on the 28th of Christmas which means we will be packing up Christmas day! We are excited for a new adventure in our life, although we don't know where our next house will be...so cheers to finding a new house!

Here's a few of our fun activities



Brody's cookie
Taya's cookie

Cooper and Kiya licking and eating the frosting...of course!
I love Brody's face...it says "No I didn't eat anything!"
Don't you love our finished product LOL It all fell apart, but we had fun and that's all that matters!

Brody took the next three pictures, he had so much fun taking his own pictures and I think he did a great job!


Brody's own Christmas tree! I loved how he strategically placed each ornament in their own spots!

My really good friend Beth and I ready to go out for the night. We needed to get some Christmas shopping done. We had a great time like we always do! It's great to have a friend knowing they will be there for you through good times and bad and I can definately say she is one of a kind, love her to pieces!

This is Elfabet, Brody named him! He came with a book called "The Elf on the Shelf" He is quite the helper to Santa and reports if the boys are being naughty or nice. He also moved around the house so he can keep an eye on the boys. Brody wakes up each morning and sees if he moved to another place. Brody has been really good to not touch our cute little Elf or else the magic disappears and Elfabet does too!
