Christmas and Snowmobiles!

This is the day after Christmas-since everyone was so tired Christmas day we all went to my parents and spent the day! We were really anxious to get Evan and Ellie on the mini snowmobiles and these aren't just any old snowmobiles my dad found vintage Kitty Kats on Ebay that happened to be in amazing shape!! Ellie's had never even been started! All I can say is that I have never laughed so hard in all my life-they were complete disasters!! They were totally out of control but they insisted on trying to ride the snowmobiles by themselves! Jimmy and I were so warn out from chasing them in the snow! And to finish off the day they had a head on collision Ellie rode her's right up onto Evan's and put a huge gash in the hood! I really wanted to cry because they were in such good shape and my dad was so proud of them, but don't worry he had it fixed the next day! I can't wait until they ride again-they were so dang funny!!!






Christmas Morning!

Christmas Morning was absolutely crazy!! I couldn't even stand it so Jimmy and I woke the twins up around 7:00 and they dug into their gifts. The first thing Evan said was "Where's my Chainsaw" They were a little confused as to why Santa wasn't at our house-I think it was because we kept saying "Santa is Coming" after we opened gifts at our house we went to Mike and Sherry's for breakfast and more presents. Evan and Ellie got their first "BIG BIKES" I can't wait until it is warm enough so they can go outside and ride them. Then, we went to my mom and dads house-by the time we got there and opened more gifts we were exhausted (that is why there are no pictures) Grandma Joy and Papa John gave the twins 4-wheelers and snowmobiles-I swear this summer there is going to be a lot of helmet wearing!! We had such a great Christmas even with all of the spoiling I felt like we were still able to remember the things that were important and enjoy the Holidays!








Grandma Deon's Christmas Party!

It is so much fun every year Grandma Deon has a Christmas Party for everyone. We eat lots of good food, the kids run wild, and everyone opens gifts. This year Santa stopped by and I really didn't know what Evan and Ellie would think of him, but they loved him!!




The Polar Express

So we all loaded up and decided to take the kids for a ride on the Polar Express. We went out earlier that day and went shopping in Park City, then went to Heber, and then back to Park City to stay the night. I think I could have done without the train ride but I think that all of the kids had a great time and we always all have so much fun together!! And I will never be able to erase the image in my head of all of us running for the train (we just about missed it) we were running and Jimmy and I were yelling at each other because I wanted to grab the kids coats incase it was cold and he was freaking out because we were late-and when we got on the train we all about died of heat it was so stinking hot!! Oh well mom has to be prepared right?? I definitely was a trip to remember!! And the kids sure were adorable in all of their matching jammies!
