Can't touch this!!

Christmas of course!

We got this tree at the local grocery store for $30, (after looking at tree lots and not seeing anything under $60) so we didn't think it was going to be that great, but after it started warming up, it really plumped up!! I loved it!!

Mia even got in the action of decorating, but it didn't take long for her to just take them right back off!!
The final product!!!! It was so pretty!! And smelled really good too!!

Christmas morning, they came in my room about 7:00 and we made them lay down for another hour, then I made them wait until I could get the camera ready so I could get this great shot of their faces!!

Lots of Wii games, movies and a few new dolls, and this cute little quad that we can't get Mia off of!! Over all it was a great Christmas, not a lot, but it was so nice to have Christmas in our own home!!

Merry Christmas!!

We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas, and very best wishes for the new year!!!!

Special Days

Going back a couple months again, Ariana had her 8th Birthday. I can't believe my little girl is 8!!!!

The day of her birthday, we went to Mr. Biggs and did a little bowling, eating and playing around.
Then we made a quick weekend trip to Utah where she was baptized by Sal. She was very excited but kept telling me beforehand that she was nervous!

Her cousin K.J. was getting baptized as well.

After she was confirmed by Sal (who gave her an amazing blessing) she started crying a little and told me that she knew it was the Holy Ghost telling her that what she was doing was right!! What a special experience for a Mother!!!! Or it could have been because I was crying so much, Either way is was very special!!

After we got back, we FINALLY closed on our house!!!! So that night we got a bunch of blankets and slept on our family room floor!! We didn't actually move in until a couple of weeks later, so I could paint the girls rooms while it was still empty (I will have to post pics on that later!). This is us the next morning eating cereal on the floor!!

Then for Halloween, Ariana wanted to be something scary this year, not just another princess again, so she decided on a witch (a little to cute to be scary though!) and so Tycee didn't want to do the norm either, so decided on a cowgirl, I had to make sure I said cowGIRL if I said cowboy I got in big trouble!!

and Mia was just a cute little Minnie Mouse who never wanted to keep her ears on or get her picture taken. I had to bribe her for these with candy!

Then Sal had is 32nd birthday, where we went to his favorite, Joe's Crab Shack, and they made him run around the restaurant knuckle bumping everyone while they all sang to him. It was pretty funny! Then we went home for cake and presents, where the spoiled boy got a MyTouch phone!!!! Anyway, that is a quick (kindof) update on the things going on with us, and hopefully I will keep a little better updated. We hope everyone is well and wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season!!

Merry Christmas!!
