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!
