The anticipation.....

Merry Christmas Eve!!!
Well we had a nice Christmas Eve. Kyle's parents and brother were here, as well as his cousin. We started by decorating cookies. Kyle decorated a decapitated Santa Clause to look like a rooster. I thought it was quite ingenious. (flip it over for a headless Santa wearing a pack)

Zachary was quick to inform all of us that the cookies were for Santa.
We then sang some Christmas Songs. We were visited by cousins which made the excitement mount that Santa was coming.
Zachary, Eric, and Wendy opened their first gift, PJ's. They sure do look cute.



Grandma read them 'The Night Before Chrisrmas" Kyle then read the Christmas story from the New Testament Scripture Reader. We picked cookies out for Santa, hung our stockings and
headed to bed. It was an eventful and enjoyable evening.

She's rolling!!

Wendy now knows that she knows how to roll. She rolled for the first time over a month ago, but did not figure out it was something she had control over. Now she knows and is beginning to use her new talent to get things. She sure is cute!

Santa

Ho Ho Ho!! Merry Christmas!


Zachary and Eric are getting excited for Christmas. This picture was at our ward party. Eric asked for a ball and Zachary could not decide so with prompting from Santa said a truck. Well he is not getting a truck, but I think he has already forgotten that is what he asked for. Zachary also sang with the primary children for part of the program he did a great job as can be seen below.

Wendy is still CUTE!!!

Here are a select few of the very cute photos of Wendy so far in the month of December.
She is a joy to have in our home!

Zachary's new spectacles!

Zachary looks sophisticated, suave, superb, simply sensational, in his new spectacles.

The week before Thanksgiving I was told by Zachary's preschool teacher that he had failed the eye test given at school. He could not see pictures from 15 feet away, small pictures. So Last week we took a trip to the eye doctor. He had a great time teasing the eye doctor, entertaining the ladies who worked up front, and with the help of a sucker allowing mom to put different glasses on for him to choose. Well, today his glasses arrived. He was very excited about the case that came with them, he calls it their 'suitcase'. In the few hours he had them before bed we had a hard time keeping them on his face, Let's hope that in the following days and weeks he will become accustomed to them, love them, and not lose them. Wish us luck!!

A Glorious Day!

Today it actually feels like the holiday season is starting. Here are a few of the things I am thankful for today.
1. Kyle has the day off from work!
2. Wendy woke up smiling and cooing.
3. We had orange juice with breakfast.
4. The laundry is all folded, including the socks matched.
5. The boys have not had a disagreement yet today,
in fact they actually talked about sharing.
6. It is a beautiful clear day for those traveling.

As you can see I have a lot to be thankful for today and it is only 10:00am. It is bound to be a
glorious day, I hope all you out there have a wonderful day as well.

The individuals in these pictures I am most thankful for:

Pigtail princess with her dashing daddy.

Handsome & Happy Eric

First time Zachary plays in the snow in 2010

The Museum

Zachary woke up one morning and asked to go to the museum. I asked him which museum and he proceeded to describe all the exibits at the Children's Museum in SLC. I was surprised he even remembered it existed, but he did, so we went. Here are all three kids doing what they do best at the children's museum; having fun!
