Ward Christmas Party

This morning the kids and I went with my Mom and Dad to our Ward Christmas Party Breakfast!! It is always a blast.

Gotta love the ears.

In her new Christmas sweater from Mok.

Typical Jackson pose.

Don't let her face fool you. They both loved sitting on Santa's lap. This is the first year that they haven't cried. She was too busy telling Santa about how she wanted princessess to smile for the camera.

This is the best Santa ever. He is our Bishop's dad and he is great. The beard is real (If you were wondering!!)

Interesting

I know gas prices have been sucking money out of our wallets and frustrating many of us. Maybe one day there is an end to these prices. Here is an interesting article about oil in the U.S. http://www.stansberryresearch.com/PRO/0704OILCOL49/WOILH705/200704OIL-COL-49.html

For now and in the future lets all try to conserve and drive less if possible. Who knows maybe one day I might even try the bus.

Top 5 Christmas Movies

Ryan's top 5 Christmas movies

1. National Lampoons Christmas
Vacation-Chevy Chase is hilarious
along with cousin Eddy. What a
great Christmas movie. 25,000 lights.

2. Elf-Will Ferrell always makes
me laugh. "No it's not where's
all the snow". FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL

3.Home Alone-I remember watching
this one as a child over and over. Thanks
Macakalalalalaky CKualkin, or however
you spell that. I think that was his only
good movie.

4. Not a Wonderful Life, or Miracle
on 34th street. -just too old for me.
and not funny. I like funny, even
serious, but probably not black
and white Christmas movies.

5. Christmas Story-Classic
Christmas movie. I am just
a little tired of it because they
show it for 24 straight hours
on Christmas day.

The First Snow *** Sunny Mae

Sunny's favorite part was eating the snow. She kept saying she was hungry, so I told her I'd fix some lunch when they were done. Finally after about 10 times, I realized she wanted permission to eat the snow. I told her she could try some, and after that I couldn't get her to stop. Luckily it was all really fresh and white.

Eating more snow.

Her snowsuit is size 18 months, and this is the first year it actually fits her. In the past she has just looked like a pink marshmellow.

A big snowball she made. Don't worry, she won't throw it, she'll just eat it.

The First Snow *** Jackson

This was the first snow storm of the year. Jax had a ball playing with 3 boys who live a couple houses down. They are wonderful kids, and they taught Jackson lots about snowball making and fighting.

Jackson and Daddy were on this side of the fence preparing for the battle (and also eating snow, lots of it).

Snowball Attack!!

He was loving this.

He actually got one of the boys right in the face (accidentally, or course).
Go Jackson!!

Thought this was Cute!

Somebody made this for me and I thought it was cute. I think I'm going to use it, along with a family picture for our Christmas cards this year.

Who Needs a Table???

Ryan made dinner for the kids and then left the kitchen to go do something. When I walked in, this is how I found them. They had their plates set nicely on the floor and were enjoying their dinner......under the table. I got a big kick out of it and told them to hold still while I got the camera. They were both so proud of their idea. They are so sweet to each other and have so much fun together. This is totally typical of the plans they hatch when left alone together.

And yes, he's wearing a superman costume and she is wearing power ranger jammies with a purple ribbon skirt. They seriously crack me up.
