Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone we have been in Oregon for the last week hanging out with family, my whole family has been home for Christmas this year and it has been a blast. We started our festivities off by going down town Portland to see Santa Claus so all of the grand kids could tell him what they wanted for Christmas. All of the kids dressed up in there Christmas best and we headed on our way. Here is Lulu in her Christmas dress waiting to go. Don't mind her naked legs, I was so mad the night before I saw her black tights that she was going to wear with her dress but when it came time to get all dressed up I couldn't find them anywhere I was running around the house throwing things all over the place and I never found them, so we just had to go with out them I wasn't to happy about that. When we got home that night I even looked for them again nicely this time I still didn't find them, then I gave it one more shot. She wore her dress to church on Sunday and so I looked again for them and still didn't find them. So if anyone out there finds a pair of runaway baby black tights that our on the loose send them my way. I know I most likely will find them now that I don't need them. Isn't that how it works!

Here Lulu is with Cody and her cousin Matthew getting ready to go see Santa.


Oh look who Lulu found while we were waiting in line to see Santa, Santa's reindeer.


Family Picture

Lulu with Santa she did a great job.

All the grandkids with Santa, I love this picture I love Matthew's, Kelsie, and Jaron's smiles they are so cute! All the kids did a great job no one cried when they got next to Santa, Karlee had a hard time standing by him but they got a picture of all of them.

On Thursday after we saw Santa we went to go find our tree, here is Cody and Lulu ready to find the one tree that was going to spend this holiday season with us!

I love this picture I love how Cody and lulu are just having a fun time while Jaron and Kallie look like they are working hard to get them down the path to the trees.

We found a tree that we all liked everyone who wanted to got a chance to take a cut at it, here Cody and Lulu are making there cut.

After we cut our tree we had a minute to play on the swing set here Lulu got to swing for her first time, Jaron is helping push her!

On Christmas Eve we went over to my Grandma's house to eat yummy food, do the nativity, make marshmallow snowmen, white elephant gifts and we had a special visitor come at the end of the night.
We is our nativity with the grandkids it was really cute, Lulu was kind of fussy during her part of the nativity but it was very cute.

Jaron and I were a team to make our marshmallow snowman and I think it turned out really cute and looked very tasty Jaron ate our snowman! Good job Jaron we made a great team.

Then a special visitor came to the house and all the kids had one more chance to tell him what they wanted before he made his rounds.
Lulu was sleeping when he came so we had to wake her up so that she could see him!

She woke up for a second and wondered where she was but then she went right back to sleep.

Even Cody and I got to sit on Santa's lap.

Here is Lulu Christmas morning sitting in front of the tree before the madness started
