A Very Happy Christmas

Christmas Eve this year was so much fun. It was the first time in many years that everyone was there. This year a few things were a little different. Rather than just act out the nativity, each family was supposed to take a story from the Old Testament and act it out as a family. It was two hours before the whole party started and Branden was called in to work for the second year in a row. So our family did not prepare anything. Ember still wanted to participate so she ended up acting out a lion with Chris and his family. It was way cute! Lalo and his family did Adam & Eve and Cain & Abel. They were hilarious! My Tio Lalo was so proud of the "leaf" he had on his behind. It looked more like a tail. Yes, my family is just that weird!  There were many others. Check these out below.
Branden gave me this new video camera for Christmas. He gave it to me early so that I could take video of all the crazy things my family does on Christmas Eve. I love it because it is so small. It actually looks like a phone. Now I will always be prepared to take video anywhere I go; Yay!

Christmas Day was also fun. I love having kids that believe and have fun with the magic of Santa and Christmas. "Santa" was very nice to these three munchkins this year. After getting home at 2 am, he was so nice that he actually put together the train set that he was giving Ember and Lincoln. And two and a half hours later, finally was able to go "home" and sleep. Seeing the kids' facing and excitement was a lot of fun too, and because of my new nifty camera I was able to catch it on video!

After some fun with the train, Josh, MaKayla, Ama, Apa, and Jojo came over for our third annual Christmas Day breakfast. Pancakes, juice, sausage, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, french toast...the works. Then it was time to open presents. Some of our gifts included: VReader books for the two older kids, the train, a soda maker, a necklace and earring set, books, movies, clothes and money.

The day, of course was far from over. Later we went to my parent's house for more presents. One of the cutest things was when Ember received a Tangled dress and wig!

And finally we went to Bobbi's for dinner. Wow! What a day! Merry Christmas everyone!

It's Finally Beginning to Look Like Christmas...

At the Boyles' house. This past Sunday the kids were so excited to decorate the tree we had gotten the night before. It doesn't look too bad considering Ember and Linc decorated it all by themselves minus the lights. Nikh was happy to just sit and watch for a little bit. It is so much fun to be able to do things like this with my own children. We even put lights on our living room windows this year!

Happy Birthday Linc

Wow, I am behind. So many things have happened. First, Linc's birthday party was a great success. We kind of waited until the last minute to plan it, so we kept it to just family. His greatest love right now is Toy Story 3. The cake, balloons, and of course the presents all had to revolve around the theme. We even watched the movie in between things. Thanks to all who made this a fun night for him!

 Oops! Daddy forgot to take a picture before he cut the heads off and gave that piece to Linc!

I am also currently making several calendars for family members too. They have tons of choices on colors, themes, and backgrounds. You can even mix and match the backgrounds. Add text to go with the pictures, and even put pictures on certain important days, like grandma's picture on her birthday! It has been fun playing around with all the choices they have.  Calendars  I think that maybe I will have Ember choose some invitations for her birthday that will be coming in a couple of months. Having her design it would be fun and make it hers! Invitations
