Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve and my family's house. We all enjoyed a yummy dinner.

Santa Claus came!! All of the kids were so happy to see him!

Layla climbed right up on Santa's lap and recited her Christmas list.

Snowy Day

A couple of days after we arrived in town, Utah got a really good snow storm. Layla was so excited when she woke up that morning to get outside and play in the snow. Kat borrowed a snow suit from one of her neighbors for Layla. It was a couple sizes too small but it worked out just fine. I didn't have any snow clothes so I had to watch most of the action. Kat wins best aunt/mom of the year award. She was outside with Layla and Brynley for almost 2 hours! She was pulling them up and down the hill in the sled. She helped them build a snowman and she taught them how to do snow angels. Then she built a really great sledding louge in the front yard for the girls to sled down! The girls had so much fun. Kacie was nice enough to bring me some snow clothes the next day but of course the snow had melted by then and never came back.

Santa!

Layla was really into Santa this year.....I think the whole "polar express" had a lot to do with it! Anyways, she kept asking to go see Santa. While Kacie was in town we braved the mall to do a little Christmas shopping and Layla saw Santa. There was a pretty long line but she insisted she really wanted to see him. Kacie was nice enough to stand in line with her while I ran to a couple stores. I was worried we had waited for nothing and she would change her mind once we got to Santa but I was wrong. She climbed right up on his lap and had a nice long visit. When she was getting off his lap, she sneezed and Santa said, "bless you Layla." She talked about that for days!

Layla's Surprise!

:)

We are super excited to announce the newest member of our family who will be arriving early June 2011!! Due to some early complications we have been able to see this little one lots of times. Everything looks just perfect and the baby is measuring about 5 days ahead. It seems we have another photogenic little one joining Layla because the ultrasound tech couldn't stop taking pictures of this little one.

Hello Everyone!

Sweet baby feet!

We weren't exactly sure if we were going to find out the sex of this baby or not but at our 13 week ultrasound the tech got a really great shot "between the legs" and was 99% sure of the sex already!! We weren't expecting to have to make the decision so soon so we had her tell us what she saw. We will wait and share that news and those pictures later!
