Christmas!!!

We had such a great Christmas and hope everyone else did to. We stayed home this year then went over to my sisters that night and made ginger bread houses. It was a blast.

Collin was so excited this year, it was fun having all the excitement in our house. While he was at church he received a key. The key was just an old skeleton key, but it was suppose to let Santa in our house because we don't have a chimney. It was such a cute idea and it made Collin so happy that Santa could come in our home to drop off presents. When Collin was opening the presents he kept on saying: "Santa is so nice, mom" it was the cutest thing ever.

Maddie liked her presents to, i know she didn't understand but she still had fun. Her favorite present is a water baby doll that Collin gave to her. She likes it so much because she can take it in the bath with her. She wont let it out of her sight, she even wants to sleep with it.

Snow

It snowed a couple inches a couple days ago. The kids had fun playing in it. Collin was so excited he didn't even eat breakfast before he went out and played. Maddie didn't really know what to think at first she didn't want me to put her down but eventually got use to it. I would have to say she didn't like it, when i tried to make her sit down on her bum she started whining for me to out her back on her feet. She only lasted about 10 Min's. outside. Collin loved it he finally got cold close to lunch time and came in. The snow didn't stay for long it was mostly all gone by 4 in the afternoon but i like it that way. I find the older i get the less i like the snow.

This is such a classic Collin look, he does it when he is doing something he shouldn't.

I love this picture my kids are so sweet. This is after they played in the snow.

Also, on one of my friends blogs she had done her little girls hair in pig tails. It looked really cute, and i wanted to see if Maddie's could do it. I didn't think it would be long enough but after slick'in her hair down and maybe a whole bottle of hair spray i got it to work. This is how it turned out:

I think it turned out really cute. It makes her look so old it kinda makes me sad.

Oh, Christmas Tree

We (i really mean myself) put up our tree last Saturday and i am pretty proud of how it turned out. I just have to share it with ya all.

Just some fun!

While we were in Utah we took Collin, Maddie, an some of their cousin's to the dinosaur museum at thanksgiving point. They had a blast It was so fun to be around family. They both had fun with their cousins.
