Chrstimas Morning

Madison has been in the Christmas Spirit more than anyone I know.. We have been watching Christmas movies all day long, listening to Christmas songs in the car.. talking about Santa.. Well... Christmas morning has come.. Santa has come.. she is soo excited!!! She got her walking Baby she wanted soo bad, a bed her dad made her, every Princess and the Frog thing Santa could find, the missing 3 Musketeer dolls she was missing, with the horse carriage and finally her Pink gun she has wanted for years!!! Kaidence really didn't care about anything.. just 1 little Tag blanket. She just played with the paper and was good! We Woke up to a great smelling breakfast my mother in law made... It was the perfect morning...

Chrsitmas Eve

Every Year my mom plans a special night, we have done this as long as i can remember... She makes a great Turkey and Ham dinner, and we have to eat in candle light. GREAT FOOD!! she then plans a few glames where we win prizes and then exchange gifts. We have a lot of fun, the kids run around and play, and were very, very good.
***Mom Thank you for your hard work and time that goes into Christmas Eve, we have so much fun and cant wait till next year!!**

Husbands Hard work

This year for Christmas my sis in law came up with a great idea to do for the girls. Make baby cribs for their dolls.
So i want to show off my husbands hard work. He worked on them every night for about a month. he also made a frame for my dad. Jeremy did all the wood work and him and Jeff (brother in law), and Earl(father in law) sanded them and painted them. Jennett (mother in law) made all the bedding. I think they turned out GREAT!! I wish i got better pictures, but everyone had to take them.. They are making them next year to sell so if your interested please let me know.
*****ANYWAY GREAT JOB JEREMY!! WE LOVE YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO MAKING CHRISTMAS SPECIAL FOR THE GIRLS!!***

Temple Light

Every year we go with the Shepherd Family to Temple Square to look at the lights... This Year Jeremy was able to come with us, which is great because he was always out of town in the past. And this was Kaidences 1st time! It was very cold but a lot of fun. We all met at Training table and ate then rode over to the lights. (LOVE the new close underground parking)I felt like we spent more time keeping track of the kids or re situating them between Niki's wagon and the stroller, but it still was a lot of fun! We love spending time with our family doing these fun activities.. Cant wait till next year!

Madison School Program

Madison had her school Program. Kids Village does such a great job with the Kids. Madison learned the lesson of giving, she wanted to bring a bear to give to kids that are hurt or lost. The school donates them to the Orem Police Dept. Madison was so cute and excited to give her bear. The kids sang Christmas Carols,(Madison wasnt so sure about all the people) Madison made her an ornament, we had a treat and saw Santa clause. Kaidence wanted nothing to do with him and Madison didn't dare look at him in the eye. Over all is was a fun night!! Sure gets you in the Christmas Spirit!!

Disney Land!!!

We had sooo much fun at Disneyland. The girls were so Great!!! Madison thought this was the best place on earth... The first day was so much fun, and so exciting.. I loved watching MAdies face as we walked through the park for the 1st time... well every time.. it was so magical and real to her she loved every minute. She loved all the rides, seeing the Princess's in the parade, and following Tiana ( Princess and the Frog) around. We even got her picture taken with her as she was wearing her dress.. The Prince said she was the most beautiful Princess in the world and Madie of course said "I know.." He then asked her to be his.. she asked if he could dance, needless to say she said yes... And smiled all day long!!! Kaidence was even soooo good, loved being in the stroller and going on the few rides she was able to go on.. We had a lot of fun spending time with my family.. Madison was so attached to grandpa and would never want to leave his side.... :)As for me... I went on Mali boomer the scariest ride in the park.... Thank you to Jeremy, Brixton and Dustin for forcing me to face my fears... I cried and hated the ride and will never do it again... But i can say i have done it!! Jeremy went on everything scary and had a lot of fun!! This was the best family vacation we have ever taken and hope we can do it more often!!!
