From day one Ella has been the princess! She new she came to our family with the world wrapped around her finger. Ella is all girl. She loves clothes, loves to shake her bootie, and wants to be heard! Instead of crying she came out squawking! She loves to be fussed over and is all too willing to remind people when they forget to cheer for her. Ella has always been able to hold her own! Which is good for her....bad for her brothers!! She is such a delight and a true blessing to our family. Happy Birthday Ella!! We love you!

One Crazy Christmas Party!!!
This year the Nydeggers decided to have a big over night Christmas party at Mutual Dell!! It was full of games, eating, talent shows, night sledding, and zip lining!!! Definitely a repeat for next year!
Pam and Rawlin had their butts glued to the fireplace most of the night!
There was a whole lot of caffeine flying around that night! This is Pam before the "incident"
This is Pam after!! Sweet Rawlin hit the bottom of the bottle while she was drinking. I thought Rawlin was going to die that night!!!
My sweet little girl! She's getting so big!!!
Partners in crime!! They're not as innocent as they look!
The best examples of what an eternal marriage should be!
One word.......Carnage!!
Could we be any cuter?!
Ella has grandpa wrapped around her little finger!
It wouldn't be a Nydegger Christmas party without Dad and Mel playing Sleigh Ride!!
Mom reciting a poem my Gram Elaine use to recite when we were little.
What an attentive audience! Brings a whole new meaning to "Say CHEESE"!!!
Like mothers like daughters!
Our families contributions to the talent show!
Night sledding! Sooo fun!
Is it bedtime yet?!
The master chef the next morning!!
The kids had a treasure hunt and after they cashed in their blocks for a prize!
I didn't have any pictures of the zip lining madness because my camera went dead. There were several bruises and injuries that would've made excellent blog worthy pics!! Thank you so much to Mom and Dad for having such a great idea. We all had so much fun and are looking forward to doing it again next year! Love you guys!

Recent Happenings
I am not very good at keeping up with my blog lately and when I get the time to try to blog, it won't let me upload any pics!!! AAAHHHH So here's an update on what has been happening at the Anderson household!
Earlier in October we took a family vacation to Lake Powell. Usually we go with extended family, but this time we had the houseboat to ourselves. It was so laid back. Just what we all needed! While we were there we went to Forgotten Eden. It's our favorite place to go down there. The kids love to hear the echo, and I love to watch the reflection of the water dance on the ceiling of the cave!
Both Rawlin and Kaden decided to sport the very stylish flippers!! Although i don't think anything can top Rawlin's sexy farmers tan!!
We loved taking boat rides through whatever little canyons we could find. It also was a great way to put the kids to sleep!
Now that Ella is very mobile, keeper her content on the houseboat was a fun little challenge!
This was a really fun vacation that we all needed! There will definitely be a repeat next year!!

The Happiest Place on Earth!!
The first part of this month Pam and I took the coolest road trip ever to the happiest place on earth!! Now for those of you who are thinking I am cruel for not taking my kids, I did offer, but Kaden didn't want to. I know, we are currently running some tests! ;)
To say the least our road trip was very eventful! At a Vegas gas station we got a free peep show!! We walked toward the restroom, which was only a one seater, and asked a lady who was standing there if there was anyone in the bathroom. She told us no. So we flung the door open, you don't realize your own strength when you have to pee really bad, and there was this poor lady sitting there; pants to the floor, shirt pulled clear up. We apologized and quickly tried to push the door shut! Lock the door people, Honestly!! To say the least it was very traumatic for all involved!! Next we decided to get lunch so we pulled up to Burger King and this is what we saw....
Good thing we didn't want the fish sandwich! Need I say more!?
We were so excited because it was the Disney Halloween Celebration!!
One main quality I love about being with Pam is that we hardly ever act our age! We were so excited, and not afraid to show it!
Pam and I are totally crazy about Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. Disneyland went all out decorating the haunted mansion in that theme. We loved every minute of it!
One thing we noticed was the people who visit Disneyland from other countries don't understand the concept of personal space! These ladies used my back as a prop for their map of Disneyland. This other lady was totally lovin' on Pam ;) Without letting them know what we were doing it was hard to truly catch how close they were!
One ride we were so excited to go on was the Matterhorn! It's amazing that the memories you have when you are younger are never how you remember them when you try to relive it! The pictures were taken before the ride started. We both needed neck braces after the ride was over!
When we were little my Mom and Dad use to compare Pam and I to Chip and Dale. At California Adventure we ran into them and just had to get our pictures taken!
Funny Story: It seemed like all of the good rides were either broken or under construction. Disney thinks that if they put these little pic opportunities around the construction site it will make things better. Pam held up traffic when she was getting in position for the picture, trying to find her toolbox!
At Universal Studios there was really only one or two rides we were excited to go on. The Mummy was one of them! We went on Jurassic Park which broke down just after we went on it!!
So that's it in a nutshell. The week was too short, but provided us with a whole new set of inside jokes and great memories. Thank you Pam. I love you so much. Until next year!
