A lAdYbUg BiRtHdAy!

I cannot believe that my little lady turned 3 YEARS OLD yesterday!

She is such a sweet girl and we love her so much.

For her birthday I took her and Brig to see a movie in the morning (thanks to free kids movies at the theatre). That night she got Birthday Pancakes, yep thats what she asked for. And then she got to have her cousins over for some cake.

Happy Birthday our Lil' Smooch!

We Love You So Much!

Our Christmas...

We got to spend Christmas Eve with Paul's brother, Matt and his family.

We had a delicious dinner and the kids got to act out the Nativity, which they love doing.

Really I am not sure which they were more excited about...

Santa coming

or

going to their cousins house and getting to be

"Joseph & The Angel"

Christmas Eve we asked Brig if Santa was coming that night and he said

"Maybe, we'll see...."

haha, I guess he wasn't super confident if he made the

nAuGhTy or NiCe List

I guess he made the NICE list because Santa came to town and brought...

bikes

My favorite gift was the Santa Plate Brig made us at preschool...I love it!

My cute sister, "Aunt Stac" made my kids the cutest gifts.

She made Raegan this darling purse with a "R" on it and all day long Raegan carried it around with her toy cell phone, iPod, camera and car keys! :)

She made Brig this sHaRk BoOk that you can take all the sharks and fish out of and play with!

Gotta love Arizona weather...
the kids got to try out their new bikes ASAP

It must have been a fun Christmas because Raegan was exhausted and ready for a nap nice and early (notice the Raggity Anne doll my mom got her, so cute)!

I am so sad that Christmas is over, what a great time to be able to remember and honor our Savior, Jesus Christ and the exemplary life that he lived.

Although Christmas is "officially" over, I hope we can all keep the Spirit of Christ with us throughout this year!

A Little Pre-Christmas Fun...

Paul was so cute a couple of days before Christmas he decided to do a

Christmas Craft

with the kids. So he got to cutting and gluing and they came up with this Santa Creation.

What a great Dad, the kids had such good time with him.

For Family Night the week of Christmas we made our Gingerbread House!
Mmmmmm.....

Christmas Sunday!

Batman Bday Party!

Last week Brig had a few buddies over to celebrate his Birthday Batman style!
They got all geared up in their Batman masks and went straight to work playing superheroes!

Pin the Bat on Batman!

And of course Pizza and Batman cake!

After the party was over, we caught my friends little guy sneaking into the cake. It was hilarious...he was just shoving it in his face! So cute!

He's Making a List, He's Checkin' It Twice..

He's gonna find out who's nAuGhTy or NiCe!

No tears this year...just lot of smiles and smiles!

Sending their "Christmas Wishes" off and away!

On our way out Raegan so sweetly said

"Mom, Santa forgot to gimme my bike"
Cute little thing thought we were heading to get our Santa gifts, but she was more than satisfied with the answer that Santa's Elves are working on making it for her.
Just 2 more weeks until Santa's Big Night!

The Big 5!!

I cannot believe that my bAbY...

turned 5 Years Old yesterday!
We went to Polar Express the day before (see post below) to start celebrating his bday early.
The morning of his Bday we were still in Flagstaff and they brought him this Gi-normous cinnamon roll because it was his bday!

That night he got to pick ANYTHING that his little heart desired for dinner and he picked Mac & Cheese and Pizza...thattaboy! Oh yah and to drink he wanted "Santa's Milk" (eggnog...yuck!)
He had great fun playing with all his new birthday toys!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Dear Brigham!

Happy Birthday to You!

We Love You Brig!
