HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

As is true Able's fashion on the 30th we decided to take a trip to Disneyland to celebrate the Braxton and Burke's birthday's and the new year. Although it was crowded we had lots of fun,and the boys were so proud to wear their birthday buttons and have everyone tell them Happy Birthday!

Do you think Burke can pull the sword out by making this strained face??

The kids loved Tom Sawyer Island. We have never taken the younger 4 over there and they ran themsleves ragged. Their favorite thing was exlploring the caves.

Will the real Dale please stand up??

Christmas Day
Don't you love the mess Christmas brings! To me this means that there are a lot of happy kids running around the house. I love this day for many reasons, one of which is that you get to relax all day. I love staying in my jammies and enjoying my kids have fun!
I think this was the best day in Ashton's life thus far. He got all kinds of new vehicles and he was occupied all day long. That never happens.
There was a picture of Ash here with is line of cars but it got erased. BUMMER

I do have to admit that boy toys are a little more fun than girls. Ellie gets kind of jipped on Christmas because she has no sisters, so here she is playing legos with the boys. What's a girl to do??

Yeah For Christmas!!

It finally came! But, here is my issue with blogging things like Christmas. I have so many pictures from all the events that it is hard to choose which ones to post, so I picked a few of the best to show what a great time we had!!

Christmas Eve day was a blast! We went out on the four wheeler and pulled the kids around on sleds for a couple of hours. Our friends the Tholl's were out as well and the kids had so much fun!! We played till we the kids were frozen, and Holly and I had to go in to make food. What a way to start the day!

Ellie and London were so cute on the sleds. They laughed and laughed. Conli also came out which added to the fun.

We spent Christmas Eve with my family and one of the fun things we did was to go on a trailer ride and sing carols. It was lots of fun!

The kids were troopers, even though it was FREEZING!!!

My brother in law Brian had this idea to drive up and see this house that played music to go with the lights. We all thought it was a great idea until we realized it was like 2 miles up the road. He jumped in the truck with Ricky and us women folk toughed it out. We sang all the way there and home and had a grand time freezing our tails off; thanks Brian for the fun memory!!

This one is for you Nana!

After our ride, we came back and opened gifts. My parents gave all of the grandkids p.j.s. and a Disney Character. Needless to say it went over very well. Ashton got Heimlich from Bugs Life and we were all cracking up at how well that matches Ash's personality. They both "love tveets and sveets!'
