Organize

I have always wanted to get my house, more important all the toys, better organized. I never seem to have the time, energy or extra help. I mentioned this to Brandon's sister Emily and she took right over enlisting 4 extra pair of hands, thank goodness. Our first area that we worked on and completed was the toys and both girls rooms. It feels so nice that everything has a place and everything looks so good and is accessible to the girls! We started on the kitchen last night and I am already envisioning all the other rooms I need help with, their trip is not long enough!! She is coming back in February and we have a list of things for Brandon to get done so she can step right back in and get to work.

Spagetti Factory

Brandon's parents and sisters are here from Seattle and they have a tradition of eating at the spagetti factory around Christmas. We had a fun night and Diana and I watched "500 Days of Summer" at home after putting the girls to bed while everyone else stayed in Provo and saw "Avatar".

Girls

My friend Camille took some cute pictures of the girls before Christmas in their dresses, I love them!

Christmas Morning

Waitikng at the top of the stairs to see what Santa brought them!

Vacumn, high chair and my little pony for Gabrielle and a baby, stroller and high chair for Tabitha, just like they wanted, good job Santa!

Christmas Eve

Throwing out sparkly dust and reindeer food so Santa could find our house.

"jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..." The girls love singing some Christmas songs.

Temple Square

We met our friends the Meyers in Salt Lake Saturday and enjoyed a fun evening together. We rode trax to dinner, walked through Temple Square to view the christmas lights, swimming at the hotel and staying the night. Thanks guys, it was fun!!

Santa

We joined Kristen "the elf" at her annual Breakfast with Santa work party. We have been prepping Gabrielle all week for sitting on Santa's lap and she did great. Tabitha ran right for him as he walked in the door, but was not that happy sitting on his lap.

Gabrielle telling Santa that she wants a pony and a vacuumn and that her sister wants a baby.

Gingerbread Houses

We had a fun night up at my Mom's playing around and ended the night decorating graham cracker houses. The girls of course loved all the candy!

More Snow

We woke up this morning to a few more inches of snow. I am such a wimp when it comes to going outside in it so we rarely do, but we all got bundled up today and enjoyed some time playing in it.
