Sam was bewildered with happiness
at recieving a box full of new little Thomas

"OH its Bee-you-fa-dull!"
"THOMAS REMOTE CONTROL!!!"
He acted SO shocked, which is hysterical since
he has been requesting it and talking about it for MONTHS!

plus trying to figure out how the train and remote work.
Sam was juuuuust a bit happy with it all!

I had saved the Care Bears that the older girls

Christmas Eve 2010
We decided to open a fun family gift on Christmas Eve.
Harry Potter Clue, is SO much fun!!!
I am Santa's helper when it comes to Stockings.
The 'Haul'
I had a serious shortage of ribbons that matched.
Yes, I am JUST that OCD with my gift wrapping.
Luckily I have hoards of ribbon, so I made my own!
OH the prep, I have GOT to say I LUUUUUUUUUUUURVE wrapping presents! :) It is so much fun, I wish I had more space to do it! The excitement of getting all the gifts all ready for the kids is LOVELY!

Camera Hijacking...again
Thanks to the glorious invention of the digital camera it makes me laugh to find strange photos taken by the kids whenever I unload the memory card. This time the culprit would be Emily...
It pretty much turned out to be a session of
"What can I make my brother do in front of the camera."
My sweet dirty-faced boy!
Emily's time with her school dance team, turned her
into a bit of a gangsta-thus directing Sam! LOL
Show me those msucles!!! :)
She is SO my child! ;)
Lovely Diet Dr.Pepper! HAHAHA

Definately a Barton
Sometimes genetics run TOO true! ;)
Emily asked if she could have some ice cream.
So of course she picked Josh's
Dulce De Leche Haagen Daas.
...and ate it with a spoon right out of the carton.
While I am adding these pics she is looking
over my shoulder and she says:
"I am Dad's girl"
Yes you are Dooberry, YES you are!!!

Santa I want...
Our ward Christmas party was fun...CRAZY but fun. We had a flood at our building so the day before we had to reschedule at the Stake Center, luckily Santa was in the loop and found us! ;)
We got there a bit late (um, yeah like THAT never happens!)
But the kids snuck in and were able to sing songs
with the rest of the ward Primary kids.
Emily told Santa she wanted a Dolphin Pillow Pet.
Sam wants a "Thomas Remote Control and Henry Toy"
He has been telling EVERYONE he meets for months
EXACTLY what he wants for Christmas, ever since
we saw it at Costco!!!
My sweet Amanda.
When they told the kids that they could come line up to
see Santa what did she do? She went straight to the nursery
and picked up Sam then waited in line with him.
I just don't know what I would do without
this amazing girl! :)
Then what did she ask for?
She told Santa that she didn't know what she wanted
except she did want everyone in our Family
to have a fun Christmas.
*sniffle*
She is the sweetest!
THIS little devil wanted NOTHING
to do with sitting anywhere NEAR Santa.
She liked seeing him from afar and
kept saying "LOOK SANTA!"
But when I asked if she wanted to
go and see him she FREAKED!
Such a goose!!!

Christmas Prep.
I was actually on the ball for getting out the Christmas decorations this year. Weird, I know. When I got out our tiny little Christmas tree (12/5/10) and plugged it in I could hear the Grinch say: "There's a light on this tree that won't light on one side..." Except it wasn't just one light...the bottom 1/3 of the tree was dark....rats. So after an HOUR of dinking around with the tree and replacing FAR too many bulbs my fingers were killing me but it was FIXED! :) Luckily I didn't have to do much more work, the kids did about 99% of putting ornaments on the tree! ;)
Even Izzy helped...no really,
she helped and didn't destroy anything.
I know, I hardly believed it too!
The tree looks WAY better in this pic when the lights are out
so you don't notice the dusty Christmas storage
tote that it is sitting on! LOL
12/12/10
Our Gingerbread house.
This years model was way cute, I love the
Santa sleigh and reindeer out front!
(No, I didn't bake it *snort* are you kidding?)
It may have been dang messy but SO FUN!
We also dig through the 'candy bowl' for stuff we don't
want anymore and use it all up.
Izzy helped a lot...she helped to eat the candy
before we could put it on the house.
But she would NOT get in this picture, she NEVER
wants to be in a picture...I wonder if she thinks it will
steal her soul, or maybe she is afraid her little
devil horns will show up in the pic! ;D
Cute huh?
I have some mad icicle skills huh?
Amanda and Izzy laughing and being silly after the
house was all done. I love watching the sisters play nice...
it is SO MUCH NICER than hearing them fight! LOL
