Christmas!

Yes is happened again Santa found the Curtis Family!

I am pretty sure we all got what we wanted.

We all asked for a Wii 

Megan asked for the Fur Real Frenzie set.

Kadence wanted the Go Go walking dog.

and Addi wanted a Bouncing Baby.

and for everything else it was just a bonus.

It is so much fun having kids on Christmas.  They didn't wake up until 7:45 which is quit different from when I was little but it was great for Cory and I.  We opened presents played with all our toys, went down to Cory's grandparents house for lunch came home and went to bed. A pretty melo Christmas if you ask me but it was the best!

Christmas Eve!

We have a tradition at our house like most families that on Christmas Eve the kids open and present and it is always Pajamas!

This year we decided to add a new tradition of present opening for Christmas Eve. We want the girls to learn to appreciate what they get and who gave it to them.  So we let them open their presents from each other and it was so cute.  They opened them one at a time and in turn so we could all see what they got and they could thank the one they got it from.  They were so cute they kept telling each other how much they loved what they got and I even think I heard a THANK YOU! in there a couple of times. 

 

This was one of those things that I think we will keep in doing then the gifts that should mean the most the ones that they get from people who really care about them don't get lost and forgotten about on the day of complete caose that we all call Christmas. 

Snow Day!

When we were getting Cory ready and out the door for work Tuesday this is what we found.  20in. of snow and still coming down.  Cory starting shoveling and I started getting the girls up and ready for School.  Then around 8:00 we found out they canceled school for the day, something that hasn't happened because of snow up here in 30 years. They girls were so sad because it was their Christmas parties that day.  So our Christmas break started a day early. 

This is Addi the snow is up to her waist, and hits Megan and Kadence about at their knees. It is a lot of fun to play in but a pain to drive in. 

Christmas Stockings!

We came up with this idea last year and have decided to make it a family Tradition! We made our own Stockings for Santa to fill. It was a lot of fun to see what the girls come up with and to let them decorate them however they want. 

The Holidays are Here!!

Now that it is December we have to much fun stuff to do.  We always make a gingerbread house.  It was a lot of fun making it with the girls this year.  They have finally figured out patterns and what looks good and where to put stuff they did all of the Candy all I did was supply the frosting. So here it is.

The Wedding, and Baptism

I'm way behind of this one.  So it was a crazy November, on the 5th my brother Chad got married it was so exciting we just love Amber and Peyton and are so excited to have them in our family.  Then Noah Tiffany and Colby's son got baptized on the 6th, we had Thanksgiving with my family also on the 6th.  Since my parents where here for the Wedding and Noah.  It was a lot of fun, me and girls went and spent the week in St. George with my mom and sister to get everything ready for the big days.  I loved it and can't wait to go back to St. George and hang out with them again.  Sorry no picuters I didn't get any taken

Student of the Month!

Kadence came home from school with a GREAT big smile of her face.  Which is not normal because right now she is having a hard with school and doesn't love it.  I asked her why she was so happy, she opened her bag and pulled out a certificate.  It said Student of the Month.  I was so excited for her.  She was so proud of her self and we are proud of her to.
