Yummy

Mrs. Clause


Grandma Ann had us all over for dinner on Christmas Day and it was so yummy as always! She makes the best food ever! And there is always way to much of it! Ever since I was a little girl I can remember going to Grandma's house on Christmas Day!It was so exciting to always see our HUGE bags of presents and I am so glad my girls get to experience that same magic I did as a kid! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for having us all over for Christmas!

She found Rudolph's hoof print!

Taytum had to be woken up on Christmas morning! She was so excited the night before she couldn't hardly stand it! We finally got her calmed downed and into bed and our very Hispanic neighbors down the street decided to have a party! It was awful- their music was vibrating our house! Ryan took a quick ride on the 4-wheeler and the music stopped!
After Ryan woke her up she went straight to the cookies and milk she had left for Santa! She was very upset that Santa had not drank ALL his milk! She then discovered her new jewelry box with lots of pretties and a new table for tea parties! She headed right out the door to look for a new trampoline, and sure enough it was there!At first she said, " Dad, Santa just brought Grandpa's trampoline to our house", but upon further inspection she found that the reindeer had left hoof prints in the grass! She is so smart! She helped Fally open most all of her gifts and is staying busy playing with all her new toys!

Fallon's First

Fally had a great First Christmas! She got so many new toys that she is still a little overwhelmed! She really didn't care to open any gifts, but that was okay, big sis helped her out!!She really didn't even care to play with the paper and bows! She just wanted to sit on daddy's lap and take it all in. She is really enjoying her new piano and her pink horsey- when she can get it away from sister!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went To Beaver Dam to Riley and Lindsay's for the Frei Family Party! It was soo much fun! The kids all had a blast playing and the adults all ate way to much yummy Mexican food! Grandpa and Grandma gave Fallon a new belt and Taytum got some much needed new boots- but they are on back order, so she settled on opening her mud boots! The kids all exchanged gifts and Tater loves her Pretty Princess game, and Fallon is carrying her new duck around everywhere she goes! Taytum was not very happy to be leaving the Frei's - she wants to live with the them! We made it home in time to open our jammies, have baths and leave some cookies for Santa!

Christmas Digs

I wanted to get a cute picture of the girls in there Christmas outfits- IMPOSSIBLE!
This was just after church, and it was a rough day! Fallon was so exhausted and Taytum was ticked because she couldn't see over the old lady with big gray hair that was sitting in front of her! The primary kids acted out the nativity so I was on the stage with them and Ry had both girls! Taytum went from lap to lap to find a good seat but she just couldn't get away from the lady with the big gray hair! So Funny! She is still talking about it! Maybe next week we will try it before we go to church!

So Grateful...

With all the rush of our busy lives lately I just wanted to write down the things I am most grateful for.

First of all my Dear Savior Jesus Christ and the life he gave for us all, for our church leaders and the many uncounted hours of service they give to lead us in the right direction- especially in these tough days.

I am grateful for my husband! He keeps me headed in the right path. He works his tail off every single day to help keep our family going! He sacrifices so much for us and he will never now how much we love him for that. He is up at 4 am every morning to provide us. He can build and fix anything, and dedicates what little extra time he has to the Young Men's. He honors his priesthood and loves his baby girls! I don't know where I would be without him!

I am grateful for my two sweet baby girls! I can't imagine life without them. They are growing and changing everyday! I wish I could just stop time, and keep them little forever! I'm so blessed that the Lord sent them to me to be there mommy!

I am grateful for my family and for Ryan's family. I am so lucky to live close to them all.I feel so lucky to have there support and help whenever I need it! I am grateful that they raised us both in the gospel and taught us right from wrong.

I have so much to be grateful for especially in these trying days when finances are tight and the world is such a mean place. I look at others and realize just how extremely blessed I really am. I really don't have it so bad. I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life and to know that I need to have faith in this life and the next!

Excalibur

While we where in town Grandma Karm wanted to take the two devils to ride the Polar Express at the Excalibur! We got there and Tater was 1 inch to short! 1 flipping inch and the lady at the arcade desk thought she was soo important that she wouldn't let her on the ride! Come on people get a life! Maybe you work in an arcade for a reason! Seriously if it was a roller coaster or something dangerous I can understand, but a motion ride! Pleaseee! So meanwhile why Grandma and Lexi where off enjoying the Polar Express ( which turned out to be totally stupid anyways!) Taytum wasted lots of money at the arcade!
