'Tis the Season

A post about all things Christmas
The holiday open house at the dance studio...
Miss Nora


Miss Tess

The nativity play at Grandma Conna's...

New PJs on Christmas Eve...

The booby trap for Christmas morning...this way the kids can't come upstairs from their bedrooms without alerting us. (We wouldn't want a repeat of Christmas 2006 when Tess opened all the presents before the rest of us even woke up.)

The high-tech computer that Santa brought for the kids. Check out the depth on that monitor. Only the best for our kiddos.

Christmas morning...


















































Relaxing after a long day...


Seeing the lights at Temple Square...Also known as the night Nora almost got frostbite. :(


Ice skating...


Hope you all had a splendid holiday!

Erin, your jammies are way awesome. Seriously, for a second there, I thought Tess looked really tall. Then I noticed, oh, that's just Erin. In footed pajamas. Awe. Some.

What a fun Holiday and trip to Disney!
Just for your info a ds is newest version of the gameboy. This was our first year with either. Luckily you have a few years to go before someone wants one. I love your new blog look and Especially your title page with the Cute M stamp.

Erin. You and Nate are genious, the booby trap. Classic, even though ours would go off in the middle of the night due to all the animals. But I still can appreciate it's worthiness. And I love you pj's, it take a real woman to be seen alive in those. Ha, just kidding, Chad calls my pj's "the refugee look".

Thanks for the reading suggestion. I think I will join. By the way, I have a confession. I have been blog stalking you for awhile. :) I now can come out of hiding!
