A Chipmunk Christmas

I call this last Christmas that not only because our kiddos love Alvin and the Chipmunks but they ARE Alvin and the Chipmunks. We figured it out..Lilybug is Theodore because she eats anything and everything, Bubba is Simon because he usually is the reasonable one, and Daniel...well you guessed it, he's Alvin because he is the mischievous one. And we find ourselves always yelling DANIEL!!! The Chipmunks have become a part of our Christmas traditions. We probably watched A Chipmunk Christmas and sung the Chipmunk Christmas song ten million times this season. But we wouldn't have it any other way:) We love our Chipmunks.








































My pretty girl with her ruby slippers. She just loves The Wizard of Oz...and shoes:)






















Daniel thinking "Really Mom, really??" I don't think Daniel was down for waking up early to open gifts:)





























































Bubba doing his old man walk with his Hershey kisses cane.
































The last couple pictures are from our temple trip that I took with Bud, Drew Drew, and Bubba. So beautiful.

Christmas Eve

We're lucky every year to be able to spend Christmas Eve with Kickboxer's family. This year Brad and Mo were here with us for Christmas and it was so rad!! I started a new tradition for Christmas Eve...making smores from Mimi and Papa's firepit. Let me tell you, this makes Christmas Eve even more perfect. Lilybug and Bubba loved it of course, being the outdoor munchkins that they are!




















This our fire dance :) Yes, we know how to work the magic of a good smore.
















Kickboxer's family's tradition is to open gifts on Christmas Eve. So we did! Everybody had a great time opening gifts but even more wonderful was the time we got to spend together.




















Lilybug's love for Aunty Mo has not diminished. She could not get enough of Aunty Mo! And she even gave hugs to Uncle Brad!

































The last couple pictures are Bubba hanging up his ornanment and Lilybug and Drew Drew on their way to church. Too adorable!

Dan Dan the man turns 1

We just recently celebrated our little Danny turning one year old. So gnarly!! I can't believe it's already been a year. We had a family party as usual and had some yummy cake.



























































This is Uncle J.J with Lily doing what they do best and having a good time. Lily thought it was very important for me to get a picture with her wearing her ruby slippers.
