The Holiday's

 We got to have Christmas at our own home this year.  It was so much fun especially because we had my Mom and Eliza with us.  We made treats, and more treats and more treats, we saw lights at a cactus garden (it was no Temple Square-but fun), sing songs and play.

 The girls saw Santas footprints coming up to our door. This is something that always happened at my home growing up-even when I was 20 years old.

 We had a few gifts under the tree from some family, friends, me, Bub, and Santa but the real present was discovered later in our backyard.

 We got a trampoline.  We left all the curtains closed until we were done opening presents then we asked Hailey to open the curtains and blinds so we could get some light in our home.  Hailey opened the curtains and went crazy.  They have loved having the trampoline.  I have loved having it, we all have fun on it, the girls will jump forever and get tiered and we are all happy.  Bub and I even jump but then Mia cries:)

I feel so lucky that we got to spend so much time together in December with Bub, the girls and my family.  Now that the holidays and busy time for our family is over-I miss them all so much!  I can not wait to see my Utah family again soon!

Dancing at Christmas Time

 Hailey got to perform at The Magical Forest around Christmas time.  She did such a great job-we were so proud of her.

 Both of the girls loved seeing Santa this year-they talked and talked his ear off.

I love family time-I wish we all got to be together more but we will take what we can get.

Bruce & Austi Wedding Day-Draper Temple

My Girls at Bruce & Austi's Reception

 I have another Sister-in-Law-Austi.  Bruce and Austi were married at the Draper Temple on Dec. 29th.

 My girls always love seeing the pretty brides, and it is even more fun when they know them and get to hug them.

 Sam, Bruce, Me, and Liza.   Love you guys-so glad we get to be together forever.

 My sweet little family.  We were freezing that day but anytime we can get a picture we will sure try.

                                      My Mom and all of her Girls, except the miniature ones.

The lovely couple.

Mom and Bruce-what a special day.  I'm glad we could all be together on this day.  We felt our Dad close by too.

Hailey had a Birthday!

 Hailey turned 7 years old in December.  We were lucky we got to celebrate with family around us. 

 This is the first year that Hailey and Bub got to go on a date and pick out her own store bought Birthday cake.  I was sure she would come back with some sort of Character cake but instead she picked out a delicious chocolate cake.  She said, " I just looked so good, I had to get it."

 We let Hailey paint her sister's face for the party and Mia was in heaven.  Look at the little girls face-she was so excited to have her face painted into a dog.

 We sure all love being at Grandma and Grandpa's home. We all make our selves comfy and cozy.  Cocco the greatest dog ever just lets the girls sleep on her.

 Hailey is growing up so fast.  There are times that I look at her and wonder how on earth has she turned into my sweet, beautiful, fun and smart 7 year old in such a short amount of time.  I feel lucky to have such a great girl!

                                                      We love you Hailey-Happy Birthday girl!
