Leila Visit

We met at the Vancouver library and gave our Christmas gifts to her.
Ry was wondering what she got!
The other cousins were having fun listening to the computer and playing games. It was a really neat library with lots of toys and games along with books.
Whit and she did some flannel board pictures and puzzles.
We got all the cousins together for a pic!

Christmas 2010

This year we put the lights up on the inside of the windows because Alan almost fell off the roof the last time he put them up on the outside. We are happy with the way it looks:)
The girls watched me make rolls and wanted to make cookies with me. I let them pick which cookies and we made them together.
Then we frosted and decorated them and left 3 out for Santa!
The next morning everyone lined up on the stairs waiting to go down and see what Santa left. We also got Skype going with Chad's parents in West Virginia so they could see the girls open presents.
Oh, what a surprise Santa left and what fun watching the grandchildren open gifts!
Stocking stuff is done and now for the gifts.
Whit showing off some of her stuff.
The Schips got here Monday afternoon and got reacquainted with their cousins.
The next night grandpa showed the kids how much fun our table is. He spun all of them until they were sick or dizzy!)

Baby Blessing Weekend

Alan and I left home Saturday and got to Ash and Chad's house in time to go to their ward christmas party. Everyone was in a good mood:)
They had the Polar Express as the theme and Ash is getting into it.
The girls anxiously awaited the arrival of Santa Claus.

Her first Santa!
The next day was the blessing and she was soo good...
Until she got home.
Alan and I hit some scary ice on the summit and the guy in front of us spun off the road but we made it home okay. We passed 3 ambulances and police cars going up so I think we made it through just in time.
