Snow Day!

Will and Ella got these great igloo making forms from their Aunt Amber and Uncle Paul for Christmas. They had a blast playing in the snow. And there's plenty of it!

Christmas at Grandma's

Here are some pics of the whole crew at Grandma's house. 

Thankfully, the weather cleared up enough on Christmas Day for our get together and everyone arrived safely, which may not have happened on Christmas Eve!

Kai is giving Jane a hug in her new coat and Alex opened some awesome Legos from Uncle Adam...

...Will and Jack stopped rough housing long enough to watch Ella open some beautiful jewelry from Grandma.

Uncle Adam bought Will an Ant Farm!?! 

Cameron made a beautiful scarf for Ella, with which she adorned her Webkins poodle.

Dallin opened Bananagrams and played a game with Matti!

And Uncle Adam opened a pillow from Grandma.

Aunt Nikki looked through the new family album of scanned images from our growing up years.

You know, next time I am going to take pictures of the amazing dinner we had prior to opening the presents. It was awesome this year! Everything turned out great and we had delicious desserts after!

Merry Christmas!

Santa got more Webkins!

Ella's favorite present was a My Little Pony castle that she had to assemble on the spot.

Alex got his very own blue Wii remote (remote ownership is of very high importance).

Ian got this awesome Imaginext castle that talks and lights up and changes shape and shoots ... I don't think any of us have figured out all the things it does yet.

He got a cute horse to go with his castle and gave it a hug!

 Will did an awesome job of being excited for everyone else and helping them open their presents.

Will was super excited when he got his own Ipod! Now Mom can have hers back...

Christmas Eve!

Will helped Ian open his cute jammies. Will has been so sweet with helping Ian lately.

Alex was super excited about his Avengers jammies.

Ella got these awesome cheetah print, super warm jammies. 

She likes to think of them as Ocelot jammies.

Cutie Patooties!

My sweet Christmas darlings! The one thing I wished was that Will could have chosen his own because I couldn't find something great for him, but he was so sweet about it, trying not to be disappointed. I think as you grow up, the magic of Christmas changes, but it's always still there. :)

Christmas Treats

I love the way Ian's little mind works and how he arranges his treats before eating them. The kids cut out a bunch of snowflakes after our Ward Christmas party and we hung them on the window. It's a Winter Wonderland on Christmas Eve!

Alex made this amazing Santa's Sleigh at a birthday party! Looks delicious!

Christmas Choral Concert

I had to snap this photo of our teacher's Christmas Lunch. It was fun to decorate the lounge to make it look more festive! There was lots of garland, holiday music was playing and we even had a parent do a 10 minute massage for our teachers! 

This was our Christmas Choral concert. The kids did a great job! 

I was really impressed with how many songs they learned and they had cute choreography. 

Ella's group sang Santa Claus is coming to town and Oh Come All Ye Faithful.

Will's class sang the Twelve Days of Christmas and different kids sang the different parts of the song. 

Will's group was Eight Maids a Milking. They also sang Joy to the World.
