Holiday Time

Some highlights of our very busy Holiday are as follows....

-The girls seeing Santa driving a car in the Walmart parking lot..apparently he needed to get some last minute items also!

-Yummy dinners too many nights in a row resulting in extra poundage around our midsections

- Being completely spoiled by anyone who has a name starting with the word GRAND

-Becca forgetting how many times she talked about getting a car from Santa when she saw her new bed (whew...I was worried about major disappointment)

-Last minute Christmas card photo session (which turned out awesome, thanks again Jenn!) and getting my card out so at least the Vegas recipients got theirs on Christmas Eve!

-Getting to sleep through the night now two days in a row thanks to the wonderful Santa delivery of new beds!

-Zachary telling my Mom when he was done opening gifts, "wow, people like me!" Too funny, like if he got not so great gifts it would mean that people don't like him...silly boy!

- Getting a three and a half day weekend with my honey pie.

- Maile looking like such a big girl all weekend.

- Big poofy dresses that make little girls feel like princesses, superhero capes and lots of new Jammie's.

-Major family time that is the best part for sure!

I don't have as many pictures from Christmas Day as I would have hoped and I am done messing with blogger to make it the way I want so this is it for tonight!

Ward Christmas Party

This past Saturday evening we had our ward Christmas party. It was lots of fun and the kids actually sat on Santa's lap this year. Every other year they have been too scared to even get near Santa. Maybe it was because they finally understand that he's the guy you have to talk to in order to get presents. No matter what it was really cute finally hearing them tell Santa what they wanted. Oh yeah one more thing, would just like to apologize to anyone who got my cheesy scalloped potatoes...they were really underdone big opps!!

Maile's Last Game

Yesterday was Maile's last soccer game and I will admit I am relieved. As much fun as I had getting to know all the kids on the team I don't think coaching is for me, thankfully I had some awesome assistant coaches and a fabulous team mom to help get me through our season! The best part of the season for Maile it seemed was always snacks at the end of the game and especially getting her bobble head trophy! This was a fun experience but I don't think Maile will want to play soccer at least for a few more years!
