Happy 2010!

Wow, get ready for a truckload of pictures! Here's a synopsis of our December. It was wonderful! It started with my last post about going to the "Vegetable," in which the ride home was not wonderful...but it did mean that we would not be sick on Christmas DAY like Kirsten and I were last year. Blah. I was excited to have a good Christmas this year! We definitely decked the halls this year starting with the lovely wreath above. Can I say I am totally in LOVE with this wreath. After I hung it up, I went outside several times just to admire it. I know, I'm a nerd but I really do love it!
We cut this lovely tree on our mountain property and it was a really nice tree. Good job finding it, husband:)
Then we decorated it and undecorated it (see the undecorator below) simultaneously!

We also went to our ward Christmas party, sat on the big guy's lap, built snow forts in the mountains of snow in front of our house and went sledding with some of our friends.


Claire made this funny face and then I told Kirst to make a funny face too and this is what I got!


After sledding we met Judd and Keiauni at a Pirate place in Provo where the kids had hours of fun playing on the rides, slides, arcade games etc.

The week of Christmas we had Jannika's class program (I'll have to post pics later) where she sang really well and played "Jolly Old St. Nicholas" on the piano with her teacher. On Christmas eve we made a gingerbread house and watched the movie Luke II (one of our favorites).
Christmas morning was wonderful and although Claire was a little ornery because she had to wake up early...she was still pretty excited about the playhouse the kids got and her other new toys.
