We had a wonderful Christmas this year as we celebrated at home with our kids. Bryan's parents joined us, along with his brother Chris and his new wife Robyn. My brother Steve came for the evening festivities and we all enjoyed some yummy fondue and Christmas cookies. We watched "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (animated version), read the nativity story and the kids opened up new jammies. Trying to keep the kids' excitment contained to a reasonable level was the predicament of the evening. The next morning we started opening gifts at 7:30 and the kids were so excited that SANTA had come! He brought Kole a remote-control airplane, a Razor scooter and a basketball. Kamden got a tool set complete with a workbench, a Razor scooter and a basketball. Logan got a fun push toy with gadgets galore. Overall, I think that the morning was a success. We ate a yummy breakfast that included sausage souffle, muffins and orange juice. Oh, and did I mention the snow?! There was no question that we had a white Christmas. Maybe the whitest I'd ever seen! I was afraid we might never leave the house again...which could have been a problem considering we were supposed to drive to Logan that afternoon. Nevertheless, we made it there safely and spent a wonderful Christmas night with my Dad, Sandy,and sisters Jessica, Madison and Nicole. We hope everyone had a joyous holiday and want to wish you all a Happy New Year!

The Real Santa
So right before the Ward Christmas party Kole came to me with a very concerned look on his face. He told me that he knew that the "real" Santa was not going to be at the party. I asked him how he knew this and he told me that Santa can not be in more than one place at a time and that his friend from school had already booked the "real" Santa for his Christmas party. (Apparently this kid has some sweet connections.) I could tell that Kole was in need of a little reassurance so I said that he was right and that Santa sometimes enlists special Santa "helpers" to fill in when he can't be there. I told him not to tell the little kids though cause they don't know the difference. I could just see the wheels turning in his head as this sense of pride came over him that he'd figured this out. So funny!

Happy Birthday Logan!
Well, its hard to believe that 1 year ago our youngest, Logan was born. Time goes so fast. He is such a sweet boy and is so much fun to have in our family. I remember how rediculously sad I was about not being pregnant with a girl our third time around. To look back at that seems so silly, especially since I wouldn't trade our Logan for a million girls! He is such a joy. He makes us laugh all the time with his super cheesy grin and unabashed appetite. He must get that from me. My mom told me that when I was a toddler I would hoard food. When my parents moved from their home in Long Beach, California I would have been around 1 1/2 or 2 years old. Apparently they found little stashes of food hidden all around the house. Ya know, a few cheerios, some crackers and stuff. I guess I was very concerned about a food shortage and wanted to be prepared. Anyway, here are some cute pics of Logan eating his chocolate birthday cake. Bryan has to work tonight so we celebrated last night instead. Enjoy!
