Christmas At Our House

A christmas eve gift? What could it possibly be?

What a shock, pajamas!

Who cares about Santa all Nathan wanted to do was eat this cardboard gingerbread house. Seriously he has been asking for days.

New shoes, for me?

Oh my, we found one last gift in the tree...what could it possibly be?

A kitten! YIKES! (We did not wrap up the kitty in that tiny box and shove it in the tree, we wrapped up its collar and made them search for the last gift.

They were shocked and very happy.)
There has to be one more gift for me under here!

See how nice I pet the kitties eyes!

You knew this was going to happen right?

Jacee with his cell phone...YIKES!

Iknow...the star is crooked.

I Love Santa...From a Distance!

So I was at the mall with the kids and we were walking past Santa. I had no intention of making Brooklyn sit on his lap; I just didn't even imagine she would. Then she walked right into line and was waiting her turn to see him. She kept covering her mouth and saying "Oh my gosh I gonna see Santa." I was thinking this is really weird but OK maybe I will even buy a picture. Brooklyn's turn is next, Santa holds open his arms and she bolts the other way running through the mall. So I would have put the cute picture right... here. Later that night she seen Santa again on TV and said "Mom there's Santa!" She was very excited and then she said a little more somberly "He wants hold me, but he not!"
Then Nathan really wanted to sit on his lap but he had just been in the snow and his pants were wet. He said "He'll think I peed my pants!" (Truth be known Nathan only wanted the treat Santa was handing out.)
I hope Santa can forgive them and still drop by.

Winter WoNdEr Land

She really was amazed by the snow falling out of the sky. This was my favorite part of the "storm."

School is cancelled, my directv is out, the floors are soaking wet, wet clothes everywhere. Natural disaster? Nope just some snow fall in St. George. I said I didn't miss the snow, and I don't, but this is really fun. The kids are having a blast and it is really pretty. We have NEVER had to shovel our driveway and today it needs it but we have no snow shovel. Oh well it will melt soon.

Who would help you build a snowman at 10:00 at night? Kathy would. Kathy did. The snow was perfect for snowman building and they built a couple snowmen in no time at all.

Poor Palm.

Christmas Spirit

Beautimus Santa.

Bowl full of jelly Santa.

Chuckled so hard he broke his back and his hat fell off Santa.

Sweet, timid Santa.

Santa with the bottom of his boots missing. (He must know there is no snow down here)

Wait there is a snow ball!

Now I need to go get some sleep, my posts are getting stranger by the minute.

Nathan's 9th Birthday

Don't play with your food...unless it comes with a dump truck and track hoe on top!

My Baby Boy is nine years old today. We have been really busy around here and there is nothing like a December Birthday to lighten the load, but of course we will celebrate! No party for Nathan this year, we just met up at Pizza Hut for dinner as soon as I could get out of class. Then home for birthday cake. Grandma Defa got him a very special gift: His very own Christmas tree that he can plant after Christmas is over. He really likes it and loves having his own tree. Grandma Ann sent him Lego's, cause everybody knows Nathan likes to build things. From us he got a Sims Wii game, a Sponge Bob digital camera (which I now realize why it was so cheap) and a building set (that ironically Marco said he had when he was a kid).
Nobody holds my heart the way Nathan does. I Love You Nathan.
