Merry Christmas!






























these santa picutres are the ones from our last christmas party but i didnt have my camera. as you can see abby is not one of santas biggest fans, but as a doll she loves him.
yesterday for christas eve the family came over to our house and we tied tubes up to the cars and went around the neighborhood, this last week we have gotten about a foot of snow so it was perfect. then we went over to mom and dads and had some dinner and exchanged presents and played games. i just love everything about christmas thats probibly why i cant sleep right now and im here blogging while my family is still sleeping! i hope everyone has a great christmas and i cant wait to see the picutres from it.

I love the holidays

so usually i am not one to put posts unless i have pictures but natalie has my camera and so i cant put any pictures on right now but i love the holidays and so many things are happening so i thought i would just write for this once. we took abby to see the lights at temple square and i ended up dropping jeff off with her and finding a parking spot because it took us 40 minutes to find one and we were about to just go but im glad we didn't even though she slept through most of it, i enjoyed it. i love being up there and seeing all that they have during the holidays, its amazing. on saturday my niece and nephew had a sleep over and we made sugar cookies to decorate during our primary class the next day and it was really fun. im not usually one to like sugar cookies but i love to decorate them with kids. i cant wait for abby to start enjoying it. then like natalie has talked about we had our family christmas party and for pretty much everyone but abby it was great, i will have to post pictures or you can look at natalies to see that abby did nothing but cry that whole night. she has had strep and has been no fun lately. but i love our christmas parties, they are good times. and i have to agree with natalie what my parents are doing this year for christmas is awesome. they gave each one of us kids a box with stuff for the twelve days of christmas. its been so fun and everyday i am amazed at how much thought and preperation had to go into doing this, i have the best parents in the world! so thanks again for all that you did to gave such a great gift to all of us.
so thats pretty much whats been going on here, i am looking forward to celebrating christmas next week, but i think that it comes and goes way to fast. enjoy the holidays

sickies

Its pretty sad when its 7:30 and i am up by myself watching white christmas ( a favorite of mine). Jeff has been sick for a week now with a pretty bad cough and abby has just started getting a fever so its fun here at our house. this is jeff and abby cuddled up on our bean bag watching tigger and poohs christmas movie (which abby loves) you know shes sick when she will just sit there with you and not move anywhere, and its jeff's favorite time of the day too.

christmas card pictures





so we always take pictures for a christmas card and we normally have snow for the occasion but this year it didn't work out that way. and i dont like any of the pitures but what do you do? we have another couple that we go with and we both take picutres of each family so i hope that they have some better ones. but this is what i have for now.

i'm doing something wrong









so we are playing cards while we were down at jeffs parents house and to distract abby jeff gives her his cell phone and this is what happened. so obviously i talk on the cell phone way to much because no one year old should be able to do this, but i must say shes makes me laugh just watching her.














So we went to jeffs parents in vegas for thanksgiving this year again and i asked my mother in law if there was anything cheap but fun to do and she said that they had a dinosoar park there and at first i didn't think abby would have that much fun because shes always been more afraid of the park but she loved it. i was so excited. watching her there was so much fun. it was good for my mother in law to spend time with her and i think abby loved being there. it was the first time she has ever been on the swings and she didn't know what to think at first but she was just all smiles. i sure love that girl, its was good to sit back and think of the things that are really important in life and how thankful i am this year especially, for the family that i have. i never thought in my life that i would have so much love for my little family, i thought life was great when i got married and that my life was pretty complete but then abby came along and taught me a whole new lesson, my life wasn't complete, and i still think it isn't all the way complete but she is a big piece of the puzzle and i dont know what i would do with out her. and i am pretty sure that i have the best husband in the world. he is so great with abby, i always knew watching him with my nieces and newphews that he would be a great dad but he is so much better than i thought. he has so much patience and love for her and me and i wouldn't trade my life with him for anything in the world.
