Christmas morning

The girls were so excited for Santa to come this year and even went to bed at a good time! They are sporting their new Christmas jammies!

(

I invited my mom and dad two years ago telling them it was time to travel when no one was coming to their house.  We had a great Christmas Eve dinner with them and Doug and Aunt Mary and Lori! Doug came over the next day and spent the morning with us.  

It was Beck's first Christmas and he was as always such a good boy!  He is obviously enjoying everything!

Cambria and Audrey worked on their village and then wanted me to take a picture! It is very cute and they had a great time playing with it for the next few days!

Our Family

We got Neal to take a picture of our family while we were all dressed nice!  I really am so lucky to have such gorgeous children and a sweet and wonderful husband!

Nativity production

The kids did a great job of doing the Nativity play and we were lucky to have a cute baby boy to play Jesus!  The only grandkids we didn't have participate were Cache taking a nap and Audrey who just didn't want to.

My two sweet boys soo tuckered out!

Reno Christmas Party

We all had a great time at the Reno Christmas party!  Santa was able to make an appearance but Audrey who is 4 still isn't too thrilled to sit on his lap and tell him what she wants.  Tim went with her which was so funny!

The girls got some fun legos and they were both soo excited!

Beck was a great kid and just needed to be cuddled for a nap!

There was a Hello Kitty pinata and of course Audrey who loves Hello Kitty thought it was for her!

Snowflake our silly elf-- Dec 18-24th

Our elf Snowflake came back this year to watch the kids and make sure they were being nice! Although our silly elf wasn't always so nice! The girls found her on Audrey's bed (Audrey sleeps with Cambria) watching a movie and eating cookies with the other animals!

She got the kids underwear and replaced their stockings!

She drew pirate stuff on the girls picture!

Got Cambria's ipod and was listening to songs!

In the fridge snacking on  icing!

Got out tootie fruities and spelled the kids names!

And made a mess of my purse!

Can't wait for her to come back next year! And of course she reported good news to Santa!

A fun few days

The girls getting ready to go out and play in the snow.

The girls helping me make banana bread! Cambria did most of the work as I helped her understand measuring and following the directions!

Cambria giving sweet loves to her little brother! She and Audrey are such great big sisters!

 

I took pictues of Audrey's teeth to try and show her what her thumb is doing but she doesn't really care or get it!

Audrey giving sweet loves to Beckham! She is always wondering where he is and if he is awake and wants to hold him. She also loves to make him laugh!

One more suck mommy

I have seriously tried so hard for about a year and a half now to get Audrey to quick sucking her thumb but to no avail she is still going strong!  I have tried putting this Thumb solution on which she sucks off in the night, thumb guards which she pulls her thumbs out of or cuts off the bands or sucks her other fingers.  This is her blanket going into the dryer and she told me "just one more suck mommy"! Crazy kid!

This is Audrey's room after I took my moms advice and gutted it out of the excess of toys.  I will admit me and Audrey are a lot happy with each other as I am now not getting after her so often to clean her room!

Beckham is not going to have a lack of pictures with Audrey taking so many and begging me not to delete them!  I only get rid of the blurry ones. There really is no story for the pictures  other than here is our cute boy!
