Christmas 2011

 Cookies with Everett and Kara
 I was surprised how much time Malia spent on this, it was like wow, we found her niche!
 Carson concentrating on his pond, with beavers swimming in it.

 As Jammies or costumes, they loved these. Crazy santa imposters

 Definitely one of my favorite pics
 Morgan loves Legos, this was a Lego ideas book
 At one point Malia tried to crawl into this, she succeeded of course, being the little contortionist that she is
Ya, I know, I really should have brushed her hair. 




I am vividly aware that these are some of the funnest years as a parent, and I enjoyed seeing their little faces as they opened their presents.  I am grateful for these little ones, and couldn't ask for anything more on Christmas morning.

So here is her Christmas card.  Merry Christmas

Lindsay's Wedding, Morgan program, christmas pics


 Morgan's christmas program. He had a headache.
 The cute couple

 He's a keeper
 The moms
 The friends
 the parents

 Abbie curled up Malia's hair while she patiently waited to become a little princess.  I just love Abbie because even though she doesn't have kids yet she seems to understand the chaos around me and is so quick to help in any way she can. 






 Malia loved the full length mirror in the brides room

 The fun candy display was awesome

 All you can eat 
 Lincoln and Gabe
 the boys
 Sara and Sage



 Dancing
 Malana and Sorrell
Reindeer!
Lindsay's wedding to Dustin Pimm was beautiful, they are such a cute couple.  Malia couldn't wait to dress up like a princess and see lindsay, also dressed like a princess.  
I was, however, completely heartbroken because for some unbelievable reason, I mistakenly thought the wedding was at the Draper temple. When I found out it was at Salt Lake, it was too late, I had missed the ceremony. I was devastated. I walked in when it was over and my sisters enveloped me in love. They are truly some of my greatest blessings.

Malia dancing, Lunar eclipse, Treehouse Museum

The kids think it's so cool to see their pictures on the computer so they love to pose in funny positions and make up dances.  They also thought the lunar eclipse this morning was pretty neat-we got up early to watch it.

       

Somewhere between pretty and eerie, but watching the moon change so quickly was neat.

Morgan as a pretty serious fire dude
Malia loves horses, I don't know if it's just a little girl thing or what, but she loves riding on them, real or fake.
