A Very Merry Christmas

We had a really fun Christmas this year! We spent Christmas Eve at the Shelley's, slept over, and then were able to enjoy Christmas morning with them all. We were also able to talk with Garrett on his mission while we were there. He is doing GREAT! Alexa was so funny to watch on Christmas morning. She really seemed to get the hang of opening her presents (and trying to open other's presents as well). We had a great time.

Later that day, we went over to the Krommenhoek's to spend a little Christmas time with them, as well as to do our little gift exchanges.

We have such great families. We are so fortunate to be able to spend so much time with them all. They are all such great people to be around. We got some really neat things from everyone, Thanks! And THANK YOU for all the memories!

Florida Trip

We just recently got back from a family trip to FLORIDA! We went with Tyler's side of the family. We had a blast! We went to all four of the parks at Disney World, spent some time at Cocoa Beach, did a lot of swimming and hot tubbing, etc! The weather was decent most of the time, we got a little of everything-hot, warm, cold...but never as cold as here in Utah! It was a nice time of year to just get away for a week and enjoy the family. Alexa did great the whole time (even the plane rides)! We got back home just in time for Christmas.

Polar Express

My sister Sara's soccer coach does this really fun train ride around his home, and some of our family were able to go and enjoy it! It was so neat! While we waited to board the train, they have the movie The Polar Express going.

On the train ride, there are cute Christmas pictures, decorations, lights, and music going. Then we made a stop at the North Pole!

At the North Pole, all the children got a chance to sit on Santa's lap and are given a candy cane.

Everyone then got to sing some Christmas Songs with Santa. We then boarded the train again and it took us back. The ride back to the 'station' was a little different than the ride to the North Pole. There were Nativity pictures and other pictures of Jesus, and music was more along those lines.

It was such a fun, little experience that Alexa and I were able to enjoy along with some others in my family! Alexa LOVED it all...the train ride and Santa Claus! Thanks Sara! :)

Crazy Girls

I just had to share these funny pictures of Alexa and Katie last time I babysat. It's even funnier to think that it was SNOWING and FREEZING outside. These little girls have too much fun together. I love it!

Huge Snow Day

We went to bed with it just beginning to snow...and woke up with TONS and TONS of snow! It was Alexa's first time this year 'playing' in it (even if it wasn't for very long). She thought it was the coolest thing!...getting to wear her gloves and snow suit...we probably need to get her a few things for the snow, but she had fun in her cowboy boots and BIG snowsuit. :) The next picture was just a quick shot we got right before our camera ran out of battery...luckily it worked.
