Christmas!

Well I think that I get the bad mommy award. I only got 3 pictures total on Christmas day. I know I don't go anywhere without the darn camera, and yet here I am with only three photo's! I am in shock! We are going to my dad's house on New Years day to take some pic's with them, but it is still not the same. Here they are-in all their glory.

McKay Paul has arrived!

We have two babies due this month, and Friday nite we got a call that one had arrived. Kelli, T-Rav's sis, had her baby boy about 6:30pm. He is just a little peanut baby. 5lbs. 15 oz. the exact same weight as our little Lon-dino. He even looks a bit like his cousin. He has loads of brown hair. He is just the cutest little guy. We took dinner to their family tonight I got to hold him, and he actually stopped crying when I was holding him. It made me feel really good! Now we are waiting for word on when our little niece Jersey will make her grand debut!

Thanks Tricia!

I had to try this, after I saw it on my friend Tricia's blog! I could watch this silly thing all day!

Santa!

We were out doing a little shopping on Saturday, we went into Deseret Book to pick something up, and wouldn't you know it St. Nick was visiting! He was a good Santa, he even sold us his latest book. "The Night Before Christmas A Visit from St. Nicholas" he autographed it for us. Since we weren't planning on seeing the big guy, we had to take a picture with our cell phone. So it lacks quality, but it saved the memory and now the pressure is off as to taking the kids to see him at the mall, where they pressure you into buying ridiculous priced photo's, and waiting in a long line. Hope you all are having a good holiday season, and enjoying all the wonder and magic that only exists this time of year!

Temple Square!

Man this year we are getting this christmas thing handled! Tonight for FHE we took the kiddos downtown for the annual trip to the temple lights. It was great. It wasn't too cold, not too crowded and perfectly beautiful!

Christmas Cookies and Holiday hearts!

I am ready for Christmas, bring it on! I am actually excited for this holiday this year! This is huge for me. Last year I think that I bawled the entire month of December. My face hurt from crying, and this year starting with Thanksgiving I feel the joy that this holiday brings. Trav and I went out the day after Thanksgiving and really busted out the shopping I am just about done. I can focus on getting things wrapped and taken care of, that is an awesome feeling. Much better than last year waiting for somehow all of it to get done, and then realizing that it wasn't happening without me or some kind of miracle. I got a miracle in help from my ward. Plus last year, I didn't have any memory to go from. This year I have one year under my belt, so I am feeling a lot more confident. And that feels pretty darn good! BTW I am sending out my christmas cards and if you aren't sure if I have your address will you please leave me a comment with your e-mail and I can e-mail you to get your address! Love ya All!!!

Fun at the Aquarium

Well we headed to the aquarium last Saturday. The place where T-Rav is taking Ju-Jitzu was doing a special event at The Living Aquarium. So we went to support them. B-98.7 was there and Nater won a Kung-Fu Panda DVD. Plus the kidds got there faces painted. We had a good time. London was the only kid who would touch the manta-ray, which felt soft and slimy and squishy. All the kids did touch a star fish and loved the cute little sea horses.
