Christmas came early.....by mistake.

"Goodnight, we love you....remember to stay in your beds!" Those were suppose to be the last words we said for the day to our two little twinkies.

An hour later I crack open the door to check on them, fully expecting to see two little angels zonked out in their beds. Instead I don't see my boys at all. I do see the closet light on and the closet door open, with two little boys huddled together in the closet actually whispering(for some reason they don't know how to whisper at church) tearing into the shopping bags that were high on the closet shelf and ripping open their Christmas presents. I was pretty upset and they both went crawling back to bed in tears.

When I brought the bag of open toys out to show my parents and Matthew....they had a good laugh, I guess it's kind of funny....or maybe it will be after Christmas is over this year.

What to do if your kiddos are driving you crazy?......

Turn up the Christmas music and dance with them around the house....I promise it works. We are all happy friends again.

I miss you.

So today is officially our very first full night away from our boys. So what exciting, wonderful, events took place? We went to Wingers, I took a bubble bath, and then Matthew and I looked at pictures and watched videos of Nathan and Daniel on his laptop, while we played Coldplay's song "I miss you," over and over again................I know we are pathetic!

A few moments from our life.

Grandma Noel loves to hide and pop up different places all over the house to scare the boys. I don't know who loves it more, her or them.

Fun with cousin Abby

watching t.v. in Grandma Noel's bed. Her bed is very comfortable....I don't blame them.

Getting so big, and making my life a little easier.

making play dough. Daniel loves playing play dough.....it's all he does these days.

Graham crackers and milk.....always a treat.

with cousin Gabe.

The boys loved watching their cousin Abby in her turkey program at school.

No, this is not a huge bowl of ice cream, it is actually a huge bowl of SNOW from grandma.......I really don't know which would be considered healthier......probably ice cream?

peeling apples.....the next step.....APPLE PIE!!

SNOW DAY!!

My boys have been waiting a loooong time for this day. They can NOT stop talking about playing in the snow and building a snowman, or as they would say a kokan(yes, that means snowman.) We just haven't had much snow...until this week.

Pretty much the cutest thing EVER to see your babies all bundled up to the point that they can barely walk. Daniel wasted no time digging into that snow and devouring it. He could not stop eating it the whole time he was outside. It shows by his red face once he came back inside. I guess it's sand in Florida and Snow in Utah....yummmy!!

You can't play in the snow without having hot chocolate and marshmallows after. I guess snowed in days can be pretty fun.

Daddy came back...........

The boys said next time he leaves it WILL NOT be without them!! Matthew agrees.

Ogden Christmas parade.

A parade with floats, Santa clause, and fireworks! It actually took place the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
