Christmas Eve and Christmas

  I didn't have to work this year which was nice, Daddy did at the hospital. So I packed the girls up and went to Nana and Papas. We got to enjoy some "redneck sledding" where we loaded up the four wheeler and went across the street to sled with the cows. The girls had fun, now that I'm the parent and realize how much work it is to dress and undress. I certainly appreciate my parents more. They were both good sports Papa ran the four wheeler up and down the hill so we didn't have to walk up the hill. That night we had dinner and had a call from daddy. He was supposed to work Christmas Day too and we didn't expect him at nana and papas. He gave us the best surprise when he showed up that night and said they hopefully wouldn't need him.
   Christmas morning the girls loved opening everyone's gifts. Later that day uncle Derek, aunt Kerry and jaz showed up and we watched them open gifts. Then later Auntie and Uncle Shane showed up and opened gifts. That night we came home and the girls enjoyed opening up gifts at home. I would have to agree that you think Christmas is the best when you a child, then you learn that it is so much better when you have a child and get to watch there excitement.

 

Nestler Christmas

  We got to go up to Wolf Creek in Eden UT withe the Nestlers. We enjoyed family time, where we got to go sledding, hot tubbing, play games, make shirts, and go see the lights in ogden. Lights were one of my favorites. The kids did pretty well until it got pretty cold, I remember doing things like that when I was a kid, with all the windows decorated.. It was so much fun to be with family and enjoy some downtime. We also got to enjoy our new vehicle which was fun.

Braelyn 18 mos

   Braelyn weighs in at 18.1 lbs. She is fun and learning all the time. She is getting her back bottom molars. Rae is talking more and more and picks up a lot. some of our favorites, ok, off, on, button, bath, chocolate, candy, drink, chip, milk, hungry. she also says owie, Brie Brie, treat, cereal, hug, shoe, socks, boot.  She knows her mouth, eyes, ears, toes, fingers, bum hair, she is still our climber.  She is so cute to hear sing "hit the road jack", "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam", and "popcorn popping".

Recently she is saying Grandma and Grandpa, boogie, Im messy, Stop, avacado and Careful. She is in 18 mo jammies, 12 mos onesies, size 3 shoes. She loves to dance, play babies, doc mcstuffins and princess sophia are popular in our house. Just the other day she was crying so hard she passed herself out. I thought she was just throwing a fit when i picked her up and she was limp. She scared me to death. WE also took them to there first movie to watch Frozen which they loved.

Brie has also been cracking us up. She always asks her Daddy if he is sleeping over??. I laugh everytime and tell her that Daddy always sleeps over. Also recently we told Brie that Uncle Derek and Aunt Kerry were having a baby and Brie looked up at me and says "did her eat it?" oh that girl.

Christmas Pictures

        We decided to take pictures last minute on a November day when it reached 60 degrees. I grabbed the girls and we quickly got ready and took pictures. Then we took some pictures at Nana and Papas one sunday.
