Santa Came

so here are some of the fun memories that we captured on christmas morning. I think our favorite momemt was when Logan opened up his new Back to the Future Delorian car. He was so excited and has been flying it around ever since. He got about 10 new disney Cars cars and also has new "homes" for all of them, which is nice for Layne and I.

It took about 3 hours to get through everything and we all had such a fun time together. Annika is enjoying her new walker and baby einstein toys and making messes with biter biscuits.

We made lots of fun memories and enjoyed another wonderful christmas.

Frosty

So better late than never right? We did take advantage of the excitement of snow in Vegas and Layne and Logan made a snowman in our backyard. They sure had fun and of course I grabbed the camera and tried to capture the moment. I know its a couple of days late but the news is still buzzing around here about "The Storm of 2008" as the news keeps referring to it. Layne and I just laugh at the national attention for 3 inches of snow when lots of other places around the country are getting pounded with feet of it.

But making Frosty is fun no matter where you are!

Would you believe . . . . .

It is snowing in Vegas, yes you heard me right it is snowing in las vegas! Pretty crazy I know but it has been lightly falling for almost 5 hours now. There is actually about 2 inches accumulated everywhere. It looks pretty wrong to see palm trees being weighed down with it but Logan sure had fun playing in it today. We were glad we had a coat for him to wear, (thanks to handmedowns from our cousins, we love it!) So we thought we'd share a bit of our excitement with you in case you didn't believe it when you heard. I didn't believe it myself when came and told me that it was snowing, I didn't think he would remember since he was 18 months when we left Cedar. So we may get to share in a white christmas this year too.

more santa fun

Just some fun pictures from our day out to Santa's house with Santa's little helpers!!

santa came to town

Logan got pretty excited when we told him Friday night that tomorrow we were going to go see Santa's house. He kept asking us if he had cars and trucks so we told him he could ask him.

Layne and I were glad that we got there early enough to be second in line, well we were the first but we knew we couldn't keep him contained standing outside the door waiting for 20 minutes and someone else had our same idea but I still wont complain about being second.

Logan went right up to him and sat on his lap and asked him his question, " Santa" didn't say much but got a kick out of him for sure. We were skeptical as to how Annika would be for her first visit to a man with a big white beard but we sat her on his lap so she never saw who was holding her and sat there as content as could be. It was a bit of a challenge to get them both to look at the camera at the same time but we were happy with this one, as at least they were both looking the same way, even if it wasn't at the camera. I think Layne and I are starting to get just as excited to see santa now that we know how much fun Logan has.

Its December!!!

So yes, the christmas festivities have begun at our house and we are all very exctied for the christmas season and all that it brings with it.

Logan has had fun getting in on the action too by making frosty (courtesey of grammie! ) on our dishwasher, the fridge was too full of his preschool pictures so we have migrated to other magnetic spaces. Layne helped us get the tree up and twinkling which is my favorite part of decorations. We have been enjoying playing christmas music almost all day and Logan is having fun watching rudolph and frosty movies.

Annika has started on her rice cereal which means lots of mess but it sure makes for cute pictures. She likes to eat it but it has been giving her tummy aches so we are gradually getting used to it but it sure makes me feel like she is getting big too fast, she is 4 months now and it sure has gone by fast.

So we hope that everyone else pulling out the boxes from the garage and enjyoing this special time of year too.
