Christmas!

Addi got home at 2 on Christmas day and we were so excited! We had been waiting since about 6 to have Christmas :) she was so excited when she got hom it was adorable! Santa brought her the ONLY thing she has been really asking for - a blue teddy bear. (Which I might add was VERY hard to find....) She got the Loving Family dollhouse - and a ton of accessories to go with it! She got a new paint set & a couple of different coloring activity things (Crayola Glow Board & 3-D drawing Board) She got the Uno Moo game & a Tinkerbell game that is a lot like Candyland (which is her favorite). She also got clothes, deodorant (yes she wanted her VERY own) and tinkerbell perfume. She was very excited with all of the things that she got! She picked out a new Dooney & Bourke bag for me. She loved watching me open it! (Even though I was with her when she picked it out). I got a new camera (which I've been using since before Thanksgiving :) ) and new pillows! We really were spoiled this year but it was a lot of fun!

Christmas at Matt & Shari's

Well since we didn't have any kids for Christmas morning this year... Yes that is still VERY, VERY hard on me. My mom & dad drove down to St George to watch Justin open his presents, we stayed here and made sure everything was ready to go when Addi got home at 2 so we missed out but my mom took pictures for me! :) Justin had so many presents he got bored opening them after a while - but that's typical when they're young!!

Poppa, Gramma, Kaylee & Justin

Addi's Christmas Pictures

We got Addi's pictures done at Kiddie Kandids yesterday they turned out really cute! :) I was very pleased even though it took FOREVER... Anyways here they are!

The Girls Go Home :(

I'm sad to report that we HAD to give them back!!!! I wasn't ready.... neither were they but it had to happen! We had such a good visit (although it was far too quick) and I miss them so much already! I know they are having fun with their dad right now and will be happy to go back home but it's just hard going 6 months in between visits! Here are some final pictures before they went back ... we love you 2 a bunch and miss you like crazy!

Saying goodbye to Poppa

We hope you have a safe trip home come back soon girls!!

Girls Visit From Texas!!

Well everyone knows how I am with pictures I love to take them and get lots... of course capturing the moment!! :) I made the girls take pictures in front of the Christmas tree... this is the first time they've all been together in 6 months - I'm hoping it's not another 6 months before we see them again but you never know so I took the opportunity to get what I could! And let me tell you NONE of them wanted their picture taken and they were all so riled up I was lucky to get what I did!! :)

Gramma, Jadyn , Addi & Jakayla

The Girls Meet Kaylee!

Jadyn & Jakayla got to meet baby Kaylee this weekend and they were so excited - of course Addi was so excited to see her again as well. Babies are like Christmas everytime you see them they've changed a little bit more each time! :) Here are the pictures!

Santa Round 2!

We went to St George yesterday and took the kids to the mall to get their picture taken with Santa.... this is the 2nd time for Justin & Addi but that's ok! :) Santa was a good sport - Justin still does not like Santa AT ALL he freaked out the whole time poor kid we just torture him! Here are the pictures!

Salt Lake Trip

On Thursday we drove up to Salt Lake to pick up Jadyn & Jakayla from the airport - we had a blast while we were up there even though it was COLD!!!! Thursday night we went to the Gateway Mall & rode the horse & buggy around Temple Square. :) Addi loved every minute of it she had a grin from ear to ear the entire time we were out there even though Gramma & I gave up way quick because we couldn't feel toes... fingers.... faces lol pretty much anything! Then on Friday we went and picked up the girls from the airport - I held back tears I was so excited to see them! And they were so excited to see us too :) Jakayla screamed my name from across the baggage claim and came running the security guards were a little cautious but she came barreling into me and gave me the biggest hug!! Talk about a sweet moment I'm so glad I was able to go up there and be there when they got off the plane wouldn't trade that moment for anything! Anyways lol enough mushy crap here are some pictures from the trip!

Addi putting on her chapstick!

Jadyn passed out and it was too funny not to take a picture of!

Worn out little girls!
