Christmas 2012

Christmas Morning is so much fun.  Now I understand

why my mom loved Christmas so much.  It is so fun

watching that joy in your kids eyes.  At Christmas time I feel

my mom so close.  I love that so much.  She was such a wonderful

example to me and I am so grateful for her.

 Kyle man got a train table  and train.  He plays with them

all the time.

 Bryanna and Kyle opening presents. Bryanna was so excited 

this year.  She could hardly wait.

 Bryanna got a jasmine doll.  She is starting to collect

pretty dolls after going to a lady house in our ward.

 I made each of the kids new blankets this year.  This

one is Bryanna's and Kyle got puppy dogs.  Oh how they

love their blankets.

 Kyle also got a big dump truck.  My dad has one at his

house and Kyle just loves playing with it.  He thinks he should ride it.

 Bryanna got an American girl doll.  My neighbor helped

me make clothes for the doll.  She is such a great friend.

I couldn't have done it without her help.  Bryanna loved all the new

clothes and a few of the clothes match Bryanna.

 She got her mp3 player and was such a happy girl.  Oh how she

is growing up.

 Oh how you can tell it is morning.

 Bryanna loves to give her dad funny shirts.  This one says

I work out and the monkey is in a swimming suit.  She thinks

it is so funny.  Her dad is such a great sport and wears it.

 Daddy and Kyle opening up daddy's gifts.  He got a

laptop.

 I got a new camera.  I am so excited .  I haven't

had a new one for a long time.

 Now for the best present of all.  Santa wrapped up the top 

part of a car.

 This is what it goes too.  A new car for the kids.

They were so excited.  Santa hide it in the back room.

Off they go.  Even though it snowed.  It didn't stop them from

driving it up and down the street.  I had to walk behind because it keep

getting stuck in the snow.  They want to drive it more.  But the month of January

has been so cold.  When it gets warmer I bet they will be out more.  Bryanna was so excited

her face was priceless.  Christmas is such a great holiday and so fun to spend it with

the people I love the most.  What great kids and husband I have.  I am so lucky.

Goble Party/ Temple Square 2012

This year it was my turn to do the Christmas Party at my house for my family.

So I decided it would be fun to have all the kids make gingerbread houses.

I think the kids had a good time.  There was a ton of candy and

the houses turned out so cute.

 The older kids and the younger kids.

 After decorating houses a special guest came to visit us.

This is something I remember doing when I was little.  I think

It is fun for the kids. 

 Bryanna sitting on Santa's lap she wanted a mp3 player and American girl doll.

 Opening gift with Jo.

 Kyle sitting on Santa's lap.  I was so surprised that he actually

sat on his lap.  He said he wanted a train.

 Bryan sitting with Santa.  He wants a laptop.

 After the party we headed up to temple square to see the lights.

We rode trax down and lets say that was an adventure.  It was

fun for Kyle but next time I think we will drive.  Also don't go the weekend

before Christmas.  It was really busy.  We did have a good time.  The lights were beautiful.

 Bryanna showing us the cute lights.  I love that girl.

Kyle had the good end of the deal. He was so warm in the stroller.

I love going to see the lights it brings such a wonderful mood into our

holidays.
