MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas is always hectic every year! We spend Christmas Eve with my husband's family. This year, we did it at our house and had TONS of food and people! Many of his nieces and nephews were here with all of their kids, so it was definitely a crowd! Christmas morning, the girls were up at 6:30am, and woke us all up, including Jaxon. After opening presents, we went to my dad's house for a big waffle, eggs, bacon, and sausage breakfast. Later in the afternoon, we headed to my mom's house for white chili, cornbread, fudge, and more presents! After that, it's back to our house where everyone gathers to play games until late at night. By the end of it all, we are exhausted! Good times!

Playing in the Snow!

We were so excited to see snow right before Christmas, so we HAD to go play in it. The girls made snow angels, and Jax even made one too! So much fun!

Jaxon's 1st Haircut!

Jaxon's hair has been getting really long lately and out of control, not to mention, pretty funny looking! So, I took a risk and trimmed his hair for the first time. I wasn't sure what I was doing or if I was doing it right, but I just grabbed some scissors and went chop. At first, I was horrified at what I had just done. I have to admit it did not look very good at that point, but after a few more snips and then wetting it down and styling, it looked much better! I think I did pretty good for my first "boy" haircut!

OH OH!

I left Jaxon in his walker for a few minutes while I was doing some other things around the house and I came back into the room and saw my plant attacking Jaxon, and him fighting back by pulling leaves off of it. At least it looked that way. Good thing it's a fake plant!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving. It was really nice to spend time with family and think of all of the things we are thankful for. The day after Thanksgiving, instead of fighting crowds of people in noisy stores, we set out to the Big Horns where it was peaceful and quiet. We found the perfect tree to take home and decorate. We ate chili and drank hot chocolate and had a great time! We finished putting up our lights and decorations this weekend and all in all had a very fun and relaxing vacation!

Thankful for Family...
