SPOILED

TOTALLY
SPOILED!!!

Cousins

The kids and I took a short little trip to Logan to meet Victoria Rose. It was so fun to see how they interact with her. I though Cody would just ignore her but he was obsessed...to say the least. He loved her and wanted to hold her all the time. He thought she was his, like another Christmas present. Cody and his "dozen" Tori
Victoria Rose and Emma Rose

Slumber Party time

Cody was so mad we were taking pictures. He took it out on Emma. Look at Victorias face. She looks a little concerned.

Here's What's Been Happening Over Christmas Break

Madi and Daisy played....

Madilyn was the only one to brave the cold weather and snow. Daisy was happy to have a playmate.



Madi standing by the christmas tree that I couldn't wait to put outside because it was dropping pine needles in the most severe way. Ryan is in the background shoveling snow. We got 12" that day.


Cody got a new bike!!

Emma with her long awaited much anticipated, table and chairs. She was happy to share with her brother.

So excited about her tinkerbell dress.

Polar Express Day

This morning Madilyn told me that Grandma Dub wanted a picture next to the train in the hallway at school A.K.A the Polar Express. I was expecting something way different but here it is. Here is the Polar Express. The students wrote stories and then they lined the walls with them for this afternoon festivities which will include reading the book, watching the movie, boarding the hallway train. There will be a conductor to take their tickets. Then they will be served hot chocolate with a candy cane to stir it with. They have been listening to the soundtrack for the past couple of weeks. Sounds like fun!! Here she is bright and early ready to begin Polar Express day in her jammies








Cute story huh? Sorry part of the second page was cut off. It was stapled kinda funny. I remember when I was about Madilyns age, loving the story of the Polar Express. I went as far as to ask for a sleigh bell one year. Santa instead brought me the bell he rang down the chimney tops. I still have it. Santa even wrote a little letter inside. I love the magic of the christmas season. May we always "believe" and remember the true meaning.

Cody the Impersonator

I don't mean to go overboard with the grinch videos but Ryan liked this one so I thought I'd add it. Make sure to turn the volume up to get the full affect. Short and sweet......I mean Grinchy!!

Where Are You Christmas

Ever since my dear Cody saw the Grinch who stole Christmas, he has been walking around saying "I hate Christmas, I hate it" immitating the scene in the classroom when he was a little boy. I think he sounds just like him. (To bad my cameras battery died toward the end.) Madi made the mask at school because today was "Grinch Day" Her class was to dress in all green, eat green jello, do whoville spelling and all sorts of fun things. Her teacher gave them all name tags with new whoville names. Madilyns who name is Mellifluous Madilyn Ozzle-Glew-Who. I guess her teacher found a website where you type in your name and it gives you a who name...Cute. She had a fun day. Tomorrow is Polar Express day. They get to wear pajamas and watch the movie Polar Express. I'll post more about that later. Then Friday is her class party and secret Santa exchange. Emma is officially on Christmas break...Yea!!

I decided to take a few snapshots as we were on our way out the door for church. My Mom sent these cute christmas outfits. I should've had Madi take off her sweater.....It's such a sassy dress. What's with the feet??
Smile!!!
