Christmas 2011

It seems like Christmas gets better every year with kids. Even Elsie was all about it this year. They were spoiled as always but it is always worth it to see the looks on their face. I love spending time with family and having the Christmas Spirit. Definitely my favorite time of year.

Elder Cully and a surprise!

I miss my brother on a mission a lot! He is the baby and I have always been close to him. One thing I love about many of the missions now is that they get to Skype, so much better than a phone call! We talked to him for a long time and it was so good to hear his voice.  While we were talking to him Jared and Jess announced that they are having a baby in July! We are so excited for them also. Yay for family and holidays!

Cookies with Grandma

While Grandma was here she made cookies with the girls. They love making and frosting cookies. Even though I think they eat half of the frosting before they are done. They get so excited when people come to visit...especially Grandma D!

Oh Christmas Tree

We decorated the tree for family night and the girls were all over it. They fought over ornaments and and made several messes. Yes, it was a success. They loved it and I loved watching them.  I love the holidays with kids. They make it so much more exciting!

Trick Or Treat

The girls were so excited for Halloween this year. I was excited to since the weather was so nice. The girls loved getting candy, especially Elsie! She would take a handful every where we went, she didn't understand the one piece concept.

Carving Pumpkins

Adam always loves it when I tell him we should carve pumpkins. Maybe its because I really mean he should carve pumpkins. The girls each chose what they wanted theirs to be and he went to work. He always does such a good job and the girls love it. Elsie's was minnie mouse and she was in heaven. Andie chose Tangled but stupid me I forgot to get an after picture. It was so good too...dang it! I guess there is always next year :)

Pumpkin Patch

We took the girls to the pumpkin patch in South Jordan again this year. They love going to that one and playing on everything. They each picked out a pumpkin and even a few extra that I ended up making and freezing pumpkin with.  Then when we got done their. Then the girls and I took Grandma with us and went to Gardners Village to see the witches. I think that was Elsie's favorite part. She loved them all.
