Frightening Family Fun

It's that time again...Time for spooks, and spiders, and some wickedly good fun!

This year my cousin's and their families came to play from Las Vegas and Salt Lake. Usually we have ONE "little" kid, Miss Kaicee, but with all the cousins there was quite the party!

If you haven't figured out by now, Halloween is THE holiday in our family! My favorite thing is finding out what everyone is going to be!

Prince Charming, The Wicked Step-Mother, Dopey, & Snow White

 Pirate and Pirate Wench

Tinkerbell and a Neverland Pirate

 Minnie Mouse

Pink Lady...Sort of a combination of Sandy and Rizzo

And then there were the games!

Over all, I'd say a great time was had by all!!!

Heaven

Jaxson Nicholas ~ February 7, 2012 ~ 7 lbs 1 oz

"Here is a baby with eyes of blue, straight from heaven, right to you. Or Straight from heaven up above, here is a baby for you to love." ~Mr. Stork

And love him I do!

Immediately. Overpoweringly. Unconditionally.
 How is it possible? We just met, after all. It was love at first sight. 
Holding him in my arms was like holding a little piece of heaven. 
And then, he stole my heart.

I wonder....

What did we do for fun before we got one of these?

Tis better to give than to receive

My favorite thing about Christmas...Presents! However, it's the giving of gifts that I enjoy the most. There's just something about finding the perfect gift. I love seeing everyone's reactions when the paper is peeled away!

Ericson and Keayra came over Christmas Eve Day since we wouldn't see them Christmas day...

 If you can't tell, they opened these...

 Giant egg and sperm in a petri dish!

(It's kind of an on going joke in our family. Baby Jaxson will be here in February, but his baby book started way back with pictures of eggs, sperm, and embryos in a petri dish)

Later that night, I gave mom her gift...

Followed by Ashleigh the next day...

Pretty sure I'll be watching these videos for years to come! 

Merry Christmas!!! 

Surprise Face

After Santa left and all the little kids went home to visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, the big kids spent the next few hours laughing until we cried while playing "Surprise Face" and "Surprise Body." Hours of fun for everyone!
