Mike and Timette's Family Blog

Ellyse (my oldest niece) married Shane Harris at the St. George Temple right after Christmas. It was a beautiful wedding, and in the sealing room just off the celestial room, the same room my parents were sealed in years ago. --I thought that was cool.
Here's me, my mom and sister Chelsey.
They had a Nativity set up so we took a picture of us there. My mom, Madisyn and me.
Here's Meghan (Ellyse's sister) with Madisyn and Afton, what cute cousins.
This is my older brother's family with there new TALL addition. SO much fun.
That night they had a reception and then dancing. It was really a lot of fun. Ellyse said she wanted a wedding just like Aunt Timette, this made me feel so good, she is now the 3 family member to say this to there parents, Mike and I must of put on a good show for all of those little ones as to how a fun reception should be.
Here's Bompa with little Kate and Nicole, the youngest two grandkids. So cute.
Here's almost all of the grandkids with Bompa, he LOVES his grandkids.
Carrson and Madisyn, I think Madisyn was a little smitten by her older cousin...so cute.
Aidan and Jackson are BEST friends, they had a ton of fun together.
How cute was Nicole, and with her looking up like that, I could just eat her up with those flowers on her head.
Here we are, my family looked great. I should have worn purple, oh well. Plus everyone changed from temple outfit to reception outfit, I'll remember that next time.
Daddy Daughter Dance, my favorite. I love to see Mike dancing with his girls.
My Daddy....I love him, and we got to dance to our song, Butterfly Kisses. I love you Dad.

Santa left some Christmas gifts at Bompa and Nana's house too. Aidan got the BeyBlades he wanted.
Nicole got Mickey and Minnie Mouse to sing and giggle with, Madisyn got her Lagoona Blue Monster High Doll She wanted, and it seconds as a Lava Lamp.
Nana bought a Gingerbread house for everyone to eat this year.
The Kids LOVED that they got to break things and eat things off the gingerbread house, normally it's a big NO NO so it was fun to say "Yes you can break the house."

A Vegas Christmas is always so much fun, since you can actually play outside. The kids loved the dart guns.
Nicole thought she was super cool in Dax's Cadillac.
We ALL loved the laser tag! We played for hours in the sun running around and shooting each other.

All the excitement, to count down, and here it is, Christmas morning. The kids were super excited and couldn't wait to start opening.
I ended up taking tons of pictures of Madisyn, because Aidan just opened and moved to the next, no stopping him. These are Xia Xia Pets, like little hermit crabs.
ANOTHER American Girl Doll...Madisyn seemed a little excited (she was super excited), and this one can go online.
Frankie's Besties Claudeen Wolf and DracuLaura, the classic first year version. Monster High Dolls.
Aidan like I said before was crazy opener, and didn't want to stop for pictures even here with his HUGE dart guns he has another present in his hand ready to get opening.
Nicole was in BABY HAVEN, look at her figuring out her BIG double baby stroller, and the bath/highchair/crib was a HUGE hit.
She got a baby doll called little mommy that comes with multiple cute outfits with shoes, and NICOLE loves the shoes.
The kids got Daddy the Millenium Falcon. Mike seemed to be pretty excited, and so did Aidan.
Madisyn made me an ornament at school.
Mike got me a clock like Whitney's with a quote from President Monson about looking to the Future with Faith.
We had Juli this year for Wankier exchange, and we got Juli some amazing boots...Jessica Simpson Boots.
Mie and his Dad got dirt from Yankee stadium the year they won the World Series...From the Yankee Elf.
Mike got a signed 3000 piece of art work that is beautiful. What a memory for us to keep as we saw Jeter right after he did that in Toronto this year.
Aidan made me a handprint wreath to hang on the tree for years to come.
This year the PJ's were Mickey or Minnie, here we are showing off our night gown Mickeys.
After we opened presents we hurried...hurried...hurried to get ready for 9 am church and went to church and then hurried hurried hurried to put together ENDOR and then we jumped in cars and drove to Las Vegas. IT WAS CRAZY!!!

Michelle brought over cookies for the kids to decorate for Santa, so my kids did cookies twice this year. We had lots and lots of cookies.
Nicole seemed to like eating the cookies rather then decorating them.
Madiysn and Aidan still had fun decorating. They both like making the white frosting change colors.
We pulled out the Golf Magazine with Dustin Johnson and the boys tried to show off their flexibility.
Nicole opening her P.J.'s.
My eldest exchanging gifts. The tradition is they get to open their brother, or sister gift Christmas Eve night.
Aidan got Madisyn a fashion stencil book for Moster High.
Madisyn got Aidan a Lego Spongebob Boat, that had to be put together that night.
Our P.J.'s this year were Mickey and Minnie, I thought they were super cute.
We set out our plate of cookies and carrots and then we were off to bed.
