Willard Christmas Lights 2008!

Grandma Julie took us to the Willard Christmas Lights. I was so much fun for all of us! The kids loved hanging out the windows and looking at the different Christmas lights while listening to Christmas music. They even had real reindeer for the kids to see and santa to talk to. It was freezing cold, but we still managed to go and get ice cream afterwards. Thanks Grandma Julie, that was so much fun!! I don't know where Landen, Jen, and Walker were for all of the pictures, but they were there with us to.

Kindergarten Christmas Program!!

Here's Irelynd and her teacher Mrs. Petersen. It was so much fun watching all of the Kindergarten classes sing Christmas songs. It made me miss elementary school and singing time so much!! My favorite song they sang was, "Must Be Santa!" I loved that song as a little girl. They also sang a song in spanish and other languages once they got back to their class room. Irelynd loves school. Now I can see why.

New Tires!!

So we finally got 4 new tires on our Murano. My mom's brother and family owns Archibald and Son's over in Tremonton, so that's where we went to get our new tires put on. My cousin Jeff was so great with Irelynd. He said, "Want to come and help me?" As you can imagine Irelynd took that as follow him around the entire time. These are a few pictures of her "helping" she thought it was the coolest thing. She kept telling me how she got to push the button on this cool tool. Thanks Jeff you're the greatest, you made her day!!

Putting up Christmas Lights!!

So here's Jared sacrificing his life to please his wife and children. Jared really doesn't like hanging lights every year because I have to have them just right as you can imagine. I don't like the look of sloppy lights. If it were up to him we wouldn't have any at all. He even, after some convincing, put them on the highest peaks of our house. I have to say thank you to him for a perfect job WELL DONE. They look so good, and Irelynd loves it. Sorry honey for arguing with you over this every year, but I hope it is all worth it now that you can see the final project. I would show you all the final project, but I'm afraid some freaky person will find our house by the picture. Sorry!!

The Magic of Santa Clause!

We went to my Cornerstone Real Estate Christmas party and it was so much fun for the kids. Santa came and you can imagine the kids loved it. However, this is as close as Kyn would get to that white beard. She was so concerned. Irelynd on the other hand talked to Santa and his elf all night long. Her and Brooke Haguewood were so enthralled by santa and watched out the window as he drove away.

Santa's cute elf pulled out a long list of names to tell the kids if they were on the naughty or nice list. Irelynd was somehow on the nice list, but was warned that Santa has to check it twice before coming on Christmas Eve. That's all she can talk about now. I've got to be good so when santa checks his list twice I will still be on it. It was so cute to watch. I miss being a kid. I loved Christmas sooo much!!

Lowe's Saturday Activities!!

Thanks to our fun neighbors the Neal's we found out about the free building activities Lowe's does every other saturday for kids. We went this last saturday and made wooden Ginger Bread houses. It was so much fun!! Even kyn and I had a great time putting one together. Kyn loved holding onto the hammer and pounding in the nails. Here's the finished products.
