Christmas 2010...
The Christmas we will never forget....oh wait I swear I said that about last years! This year was way different though. We were looking forward to having a small Christmas morning with just our little family. We knew it would be different but were excited about this new family tradition. So after getting everything pretty much ready, we woke up the Monday before Christmas to a flooded basement. Yes, it was a super awesome early Christmas present. Since that was where we were going to spend our Christmas, we had to make many adjustments, and somehow it just didn't really feel like Christmas at all this year!
Christmas morning we woke up early and went up to the Roberts' to do presents, and luckily santa found us there! My whole family was there and so it was still a very fun Christmas. Charly didn't care about opening presents after she had scored a kitchen to cook at, a very cute set of table and chairs, and of course her Jessie doll! We pretty much had to bribe her to open up the rest. But we were all very blessed with awesome family and friends this year who helped us a ton and who were very giving this year!
In between presents and dinner, we went over to the Monson's for presents and were yet again spoiled! Took naps, got ready for the day, and then went back to my parents for a delicious prime rib dinner! YUM! All in all it was a very good day full of FAMILY which is all that really matters!











more catch up posts below!
Yes, normally i would lists all our gifts for my record right here...but i don't even think i can remember what we got and i'm too lazy! Plus i think Charly's up from her nap and I missed my shower! Oh well, what can ya do!

thanks guys for coming! i wish i would have got them all in their costumes...but it just so happened to be 80 degrees that day. the kids got too hot and we had to take off their costumes!
CHARLY'S FIRST PUMPKIN CARVE


she liked it, but didn't really want to get her hands dirty...weird since she loves to play in the mud and sand! oh well, it only took about an hour to empty this cute little pumpkin out! then i carved a baby jack-o-lantern (no picture) and that was that! later i lit them and her lid shrunk and fell into the pumpkin only to burn to a crisp!
so here's to next year...i'm hoping i can be a fun AND on top of it mom for halloween!
