Christmas 2014

We had a great Christmas Eve with a feast. Kristin and Seth came over and enjoyed it with us! Matt really wanted to do candles in the lanterns so that was a fun thing.

The kids slept well because they didn't understand what was going to happen anyway. We waited until Kristin and Seth came over and then we had Christmas morning. Sadie was really shy coming out but was excited once she got the hang of realizing that she was about to get spoiled beyond all belief.

Scout just really enjoyed her food. Santa left a stocking for Kristin and Seth too so that was really nice.

Sadie and Scout had a million presents to open so that was fun for them.

We got our first big snow storm Christmas and that was AWESOME! Loved having a white Christmas. We watched the Croods and just enjoyed being lazy with the kids and Kristin and Seth until they left for Seth's family events.

It was the best Christmas and we enjoyed getting spoiled by all of our families!!

Santa 12.23

After trying to convince Matt to buy a Santa suit so we could just take pictures from home with a “Santa” the kids really know…we decided to go to the Riverwoods for free pictures.

Yes, I left them alone for TWO minutes.

Look at this cute girl.

She was being shy. She ended up telling Santa she wanted a Rapunzel doll. Which she already has.

Scout…Not so big a fan. She told Santa all she wanted was to get off him. Winking smile

It was a cute set up and it was free which was awesome!

We love our babies.

And fire.

Yay for beautiful Christmas lights.

Family walk and Christmas Jammies

Matt is so good about getting us out to go for walks!

But sometimes it is a little late the kids are tired. Good thing he buckled Sadie in, right?

Except he didn’t so we were a little nervous.

The kids also opened their jammies from Grandma Laura. They are so cute!

They peeked!

They got in to my give away pile and Sadie dressed them both up. haha.

And Scout cheated and opened up two presents.

Naughty.

Sadie was amazing though and even though they were sitting there she understood she was not allowed to open them yet so she didn’t touch them. She was very jealous after Scout opened one though and wanted to so bad.

Gingerbread Man 12.23

Matt felt it was really important to download the story of the Gingerbread Man since we didn’t own it. He wanted Sadie to have a real experience with it so he read it and then made one with the kids.
They liked playing with the dough.

Here is their product.

While Sadie was going to the bathroom, the gingerbread man ran away!

Sadie and Matt went all over looking for him. They looked at our neighbors house, the people who live below us, and the park before coming home. Sadie was a little sad that she couldn’t find him but she found little gingerbread droppings at each of the places so she knew he was there.
We finally found him behind our Christmas tree!

We enjoyed eating him although Sadie was a little nervous about eating him at first.

What a fun new tradition to start for our little family. I am sure Matt will have to get more elaborate every year.

Airport Drops

We drove a couple sisters to the airport so we decided to stop at Gpa Catron’s house one of those times. He is always so grateful whenever we stop by. It was fortunate that Uncle Ross and Aunt Becky were there too so we visited with them for a bit. We almost were too late for Chrissy’s flight but she managed to get there okay.

There was terrible traffic on the way down but we stopped at the West Jordan Costco and walked around and found a couple Christmas presents for Matt.

Another drive to the airport we decided to stop by Grandma and Grandpa Hatch’s place but they had shingles so only I went up. We then went to see Temple Square. We also stopped at Alberto’s for Mexican food so that was delicious.
