Another Christmas Has Come And Gone.....

This is the neighborhood crew waiting for the annual Santa Drive-by. Every year he comes by on a big firetruck escorted by a couple police cars. The kids love it.



Josh was so excited to ask for a new light-saber.



Maggie was the Student of the Month for her class in December. She loves going to school and we are very proud of her.



Josh was pretty bored at the ceremony.



This is one of Maggie's teachers.



We went to the Northrop holiday festival and the kids had a blast.



It was about 80 degrees that day, but they brought in a bunch of snow so the kids could go sledding. It was Josh's first time and he loved it.















We drove to Price Utah and spent a few days there with Jake's family for Christmas. It snowed and snowed and snowed.....



.....the kids loved it!













Playing Rock Band. Josh looks like a natural.





The kids dressed up and a put on a Christmas Nativity play. Josh was Joseph and Maggie was the angel. He was bored waiting for all of the girls to get ready - get used to it Josh.





Josh with his new Lightning McQueen pj's.



The 3 boy cousins w/Grandpa.



The 3 girl cousins showing off their new pj's and robes.



Christmas morning patiently waiting to go upstairs and start opening presents.





opening their stockings...



Santa brought Maggie a new Mariposa Barbie,



and he brought Josh his new light-saber.







Then we went to Bountiful to be with Melissa's family for a few days.



New pj's!!!



Movie night with Grandpa!



We went to a fun place in Salt Lake with lots of bounce houses and slides, etc. We all had a blast!







Melissa and Jordan.









Opening presents with Great Grandma Gadd.







Josh broke the pinata.



The four cousins in their new pj's.



Back at home. The kids in their new Sunday clothes. Josh looks so big in a shirt and tie. This was his first day in Sunbeams......of course he played with his clip-on tie the whole time and got it confiscated.







And last but not least..........







.....yep, number 3 is in the oven.
