Candace's Gingerbread Party!

Candace and Savannah hosted their annual Gingerbread House Party and we had such a great time! I think that Evan and Ellie ate more candy than they put on their houses. All of the kids had so much fun running around and playing and it was so nice to eat really good food and visit with friends!! Thanks Candace and Savvy we had a great time!

Holly Days Parade!

So Jimmy, Grandma Meg, and I all loaded up and braved the Holly Days Parade. We met all of our friends their too. It was so stinking cold that I don't know how much the twins enjoyed it. I am not to sure if the parade was worth fighting the cold-but the whole atmosphere was for sure!! I have to say that Vernal did a great job-they had the big fire troves everywhere and there were a ton of people enjoying the festivities. It definitely gave us the Christmas Spirit! And I am so proud of Grandma Meg for being such a great sport!!

Decorating for Christmas!

It is so fun now that the twins can help. They were so funny this year-they were great helpers. Evan would just take the ornaments and literally throw them on the tree in handfuls. Ellie was very careful about things and asked if everything was glass because she was afraid she would break it. Christmas is going to be so much fun this year. The twins are at such a great age. Kids are really what make the holidays the best!!

Disney on Ice & Discovery Zone!

I have really been wanting to take the twins to the Discovery Zone at the Gateway-I had heard how much fun it was and that the kids would love it, and they did!! They were running around like little crazy heathens-they just couldn't decide what to play with next. I think that their favorite part was the grocery store. We will definitely be taking them their again!!

Jimmy and I decided to take the twins to Disney on Ice. I really wanted to take them because it was Mickey and Minnie's Adventure and Evan and Ellie are totally obsessed with Mickey and Minnie. When we got there we bought all the goodies that were way over-priced: spinny toys for $20 a piece, coloring books fir $5 a piece, and lemonade's for $10 a piece!! I swear they really know how to rip you off!! Then when we went to find our seats we were so pumped because we were on the very front row! Evan and Ellie loved when Mickey and Minnie would come out and they were ticked when they would go back and the other characters would come out, they just kept asking "where's Mickey" and "where's Minnie" I think that they had a lot of fun-I am not to sure about Jimmy he just asked if the next time we went it could be a "Grandma's trip"

Elk Hunt!

We went Elk Hunting again and again NO LUCK for the boys!!!! We always have so much fun camping with all of our friends and this year the weather was really nice-which is always a plus with kids! I love to look back at the past years and see how much the kids have changed. The first year was horrible and they cried the whole time and now it is hard to believe that they are out running around with Savvy and Hayden!

Trip to Lagoon and the Zoo

We went with my mom and dad to Salt Lake and took the kids to Lagoon and the Zoo. I wasn't sure how they would do at Lagoon, I didn't know if they would like any of the rides or not but I thought it wouldn't be a total loss because all of us adults LOVE rides so we could just take turns watching the kids and we could ride! Well we didn't even get a chance to ride many rides because the twins LOVED all of the rides. I bet that they rode every little kid ride 3 times. I think that they would have just rode anything that we put them on!!! It is so funny because the very first ride we put them on was the little dorky dolphin ride and I was pretty nervous because I didn't want them to cry, so Jimmy and I took them over and buckled them in and were totally being the over-protective parents! Once the ride started I looked and Ellie put her little arms straight up in the air, and every ride that she rode she did the same thing!!! I didn't even take any pictures at the zoo-they thought it was pretty boring since we went to Lagoon first! I would recommend going to the zoo first! We had such a great time-I can't wait to go back!!!

Reading the Paper

Evan and Ellie have been soooo into reading magazines and the newspaper lately. I think it is so funny because Jimmy always reads the paper when he is eating so one morning while I was making them breakfast they both went and got a newspaper and were sprawled out reading it!! It is so true that they really absorb every little thing that they see!

Best Buds!!

For some reason I love it when Evan and Ellie wear these matching jammies! I think they look so cute! They are so funny with each other right now-they are little pals! Evan is totally the leader-he comes up with the plans and Ellie follows right behind! I love watching how their little personalities change as they grow! I am so glad that they have eachother!!

Warren Family Reunion 2010

This is the 3rd year that the twins have been able to go to the Warren Family Reunion-we had so much fun!! There are soooo many little kids right now it is CRAZY! Evan was so funny this year he found one of my old straightening irons and he had to pack it everywhere with him (you will see it in a lot of the pics) Ellie was totally obsessed with Gabby and Addy and Evan was totally obsessed with Ashley-and their obsession hasn't stopped! The little night games were so much fun this year with all of the kids-they had races and I swear that after every race there was a kid crying because they fell down or someone tripped them and then you would see the mom or dad go running into the middle of the race to rescue them! We had such a great time this year and I can't wait until next year, I am so glad that the twins have this opportunity to meet all of their cousins!!!
