More Christmas pictures

Huh, we must have forgotten to comb Luke's hair.

He loves Ben 10 aliens.
If you really want to make Sarah happy, give her a whole pack of gum and just let her pass it out and eat piece after piece.

Santa got Luke a bike. He still hasn't ridden it. It is too big for him. After Christmas Santa was too busy to exchange it for a smaller one a. Here's to hoping he has a growth spurt.


AnnaKate is 8, for the last 4 years she has only asked for baby dolls and baby doll stuff. I wonder if she'll want that again this coming Christmas?



We went to my parents house and had the best breakfast ever known to mankind.
What cute girls I have.




Christmas Eve and Christmas morning

Nate volunteered to make Christmas eve dinner for my parents and brother David. David flew in from New York. Even though his life is so cool in New York, he thinks his family is cooler.

Nate made the whole dinner. I made the gravy. Nate even had to work that morning. He didn't start cooking till 2 or 3 in the afternoon. He pulled off a great meal.
Here we are waiting to run down the stairs to see what Santa brought us.

look at that Christmas morning face!


Some how we all just barely made the nice list. It was a good Christmas.







3 years old, but not quite "big girls"

As you can see, I'm the kind of mom that goes all out on my kids birthday cakes. I let them stick all the candles in that I had in the cupboard.
I made them their favorite dinner. We ate Ramen by candle light.

Earlier that day we did their favorite thing. Skate. We were even lucky enough that 2 of our favorite cousins, Afton and Henry came with us.


They looked so cute in the new outfits my mom gave them. I wish I would have taken a group shot but I was too sweaty and tired from rollerskating and must have forgotten. Nate even took some time off work to come with us. Happy day. As of today, Jan 31, 2010, they still sleep in cribs, go to bed with a bottle and Sarah is in panties half the time, diapers the other half. She still doesn't quite get it. Gwen is completely potty trained! This week we are going to post all the nursery furniture on ksl. com. Then we will buy them big girl beds and throw away the bottles. Hmmmm, wonder how that's going to go? Wow, life just marches on. I don't have babies anymore.
