Christmas Morning/Day

Just before he comes into the living room to see what Santa brought him. His stocking was filled of course but he also got a puppet theature, bean bag throw game, & a giant marble set, that I'll have you know took Santa's elves over 2 hours to put together......

His stocking treasures.

No, he is not spoiled......he was disappointed that he didn't get a big drivable The King Car like his power wheels Lightning McQueen one however.

A picture for Great Papa and Great Grandma Pageau in Seattle, thank you!

Mom made him his very own special lap size blanket with his favorite, Cars!

Then last but not least his Buzz Build a Bear that Grandma made for him in Disneyland. We had a wonderful day. We were all spoiled even though we were cutting back just getting back from our trip & all. Hope your Christmas was as Merry as ours!

Christmas Eve

After going to dinner & a movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks, we came home to Logan opening up the traditional one pressent on Christmas Eve. He thought he got to pick which one, to his surprise though, Mommy picked it out instead. So.....the much anticipation............

.............to Pajamas, again a family tradition, oh Mom! But much to his dismay after his bath he was the handsomest boy in his new head to toe pjs!

Woody was strollin' on by when we showed him that Logan was wearing a #1 Sheriff badge, so he posed for a photo op.








Ariel's Grotto for lunch where we also met, Cinderella, Mulan, Snow White, & Belle.

Sanfransisco at California Adventures where the monorail goes through.









.....and at last, my ultimate favorite, Tinkerbell! Yes, I was quite shocked!

Well, we finally made it back from the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. These are just a few of the hundreds of pictures Mom & I took while there. We had a wonderful time. We rode almost every ride that Logan could go on over the last week, plus we walked so much much I think we saw it all as well. We all got our name on Mickey ears, even Kylee. We ate dinner, lunch & even breakfast with Lilo & Stitch & so many characters. My autograph book & Logan's t-shirt is filled front to back with autographs from every character imaginable. We had a blast! This was Ron & Logan's first time ever & it was great to be there as a family. I hope you don't get to bored with my many pictures. With our vacation it doesn't seem possible that Christmas is 2 days away, except that I'm not done with my shopping, wrapping, etc. so I'm off, but I had to share a few before our Savior's Birthday! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter Wonderland

On Monday, Logan's preschool class went on a field trip to one of the girl's grandma's house, where she turns her living room into a miniature wonderland of villages. After 8 days of set up & a whole room of storage she achieves an amazing sight. There was a real flocked tree in the middle with ornaments that dated back 60 years ago. Then there was levels upon levels of every imaginable miniature's with a moving train going under & over areas of the town. There was a farm, airport, a town with a parade going through it, ski lodge, church, McDonald's, a Harley Shop, Coke store, Starbucks, a carousel, I could go on and on. You could probably look for hours & you would see something new. The kids were in aw. What an amazing treat!

Layne & Logan watching the train go around.

More Christmas Memories

A friend of ours invited us to there annual first of December picture party. A large group of families from all 4 wards get together with a professional photographer in the ward to take Christmas photos & share in some great treats. We had a wonderful time getting to know some new people & got some great photos to boot!

Our Ward Christmas Party

We had our Ward Christmas party last night. Awesome food (the desserts) & great conversation. The primary kids sang a beautiful song & then they sang carols while Santa was flying over the church to make his appearance. We had the best time, probably the best holiday party we have been to for along time. The Bishop & his wife came over to sit by us for a minute & commented on Logan's singing ability, he sure does like to belt it out, the attention we think. Anyways, it was a perfect gathering.

Our Forever Family

Our outside lights

Our first year having lights on the outside of our new home. We have been here a year in October, but with just moving in & still settling this time last year it is another first. Ron & Logan set up everything in the heated comfort of our garage & then put them out. The only thing not done yet is the border of lights on the frame of the house & garage. The only new decoration is the Santa other wise this is what our Autumn Lane house looked like too!

This is the stillest Logan has been! Ha! Ha!

Mall Photo "Ops"

Ron teases me relentlessly, especially this time of year, with photo "ops" or its a Kodak moment, but who could resist. The photos some times say it all! Enjoy the season!
