Trains, trains and more trains

Addison got this train for Christmas and she can't stop playing with.  She loves it so much. We saw a commercial about Disneyland the other day and it shows the train there.  She said to me "O mom I want to go to Disneyland so I can ride a REAL train."  It was so cute

O Addi

Addi saw the icecicles on the truck and decided they needed to be off. So she told me she was getting the "SPIKE CICLES" off the truck.  I just love this girl. 

Shooting BB Guns

Call us crazy but we got the girls BB Guns this year.  And they LOVE them!!!

Getting safety lessons from dad. I think he was just as excited to give the girls their guns as they were to get them

Addi played in the truck.  Not quit interested in guns yet. 

Christmas 2011

Christmas was crazy this year. 

Santa Came!!!

After the present opening. We got dressed cleaned up a little and headed to St. George for a couple of days. The girls were so excited to go to St. George we had a lot planned. We spent the evening with my family hanging out and letting the cousins play.  I was horrible at taking pictures I was just enjoying the time there.   

Christmas Eve 2012

Christmas was a bit eventful this year.  On Christmas Eve Grandpa and Grandma Curtis came up to give the girls their presents. 

After they left it was time for MORE present opening. 

Christmas Pajamas

Then presents from each other.  I know it's a lot a present opening Christmas Eve.  But we think it is a good tradition to let the girls open presents from each other on Christmas Eve so they can appreciate what each of them got from their sister I love to see them say Thank you to each other.  

This year we had them draw names for each other.  It was so exciting to watch them actually appreciate what they got from their sister. 

Now it's time to say Goodbye. to our Elf Jingle he will be back next year to watch over us, and report to Santa!

A Christmas tradition

I started this tradition when we lived at parents house 3 years ago.  All of our Christmas stuff was in a storage unit so I didn't have stockings for the girls so we made them.  The girls had to much fun that we now do it every year.  I am hoping that someday I will have a house that I can display all of the stockings that we make over the years. 

The finished project

The first two stocking are Felt Applique that I made.  My mom has them at her house that someone made for her many many years ago.  I have always loved them. They are a lot of work and time so I will slowly be making them for everyone in my little family.  Cory and Mine done, 3 maybe 4 more to go. 

A little Hot Cocoa Please

  I haven't really been into the whole Christmas Spirit this year which is sad because I love this time of year but I just haven't been feeling it.  I decided I need a little pick me up and to help get everyone into the Spirit so I decided to start a little gift giving early.  My girls new favorite thing is Hot Cocoa, so I have them a little warmth when they got home from school.  Cocoa mix, marshmallow's and Candy cane mixing stix.
