CHRISTMAS "VOMIT" 2010

This is a Christmas "vomit" post because I put off downloading pictures until I have so many, it's just too overwhelming. So I just "vomit" a bunch of pictures in no particular order. Ah-hah maybe that could be a New Years resolution--hmmm, there has got to be a more worthwhile resolution. But really, once the living room/kitchen are redecorated and the new jewelry is created and listed on Etsy,,,,then I will do better about blogging. Priorities, priorities.

SO, in no particular order, this is how the rest of December shaped-up for my little family.

Richele making cookies with the kiddos for Santa on Christmas Eve. She always has great ideas to make things fun for the kids.

G-ma and G-pa and the grands on Christmas Eve.
Last summer we promised Andrew that we would have a Settler's night at our house. We ordered food and played till late. It was a great time. Spencer was thrilled to be able to play the Wii the entire time.

A good friend gave Abby this track suit---and boy I love it. I call her my little Abby-Sue Sylvester. (reference to Glee)

Our Christmas Eve tradition of dinner at Tepanyaki needed to be modified this year. We decided to try breakfast/early lunch at Village Inn, then back to Grammy's for games. It was a hit. I'm all about a new tradition.

The kids enjoy being together--can you tell?

Ready to open the loot at Grammy's.

3 video cameras and 2 still cameras capturing Cam's song.

Abby was having a rough night and needed some snuggles at 11:45 pm.

Centerpieces for Nat and Brett's wedding dinner.

Temple Square.

Eat her up!!!!!!! 9 month doll picture.

Cam with his Santa present and stocking.

Spence with his Santa and stocking.

Anything and Everything--in the mouth.

Lots of estrogen here.

Brett and Nat's reception.

There always has to be one uncooperative child.

Ayla did NOT want her picture taken. Abby and Alyssa were darling-they kept checking each other out.

Matt was so good with the boys. He let them play games on his phone.

yummy beads.

Notice the ornament she's looking at---it's a favorite.

Christmas was wonderful this year. The boys spent a ton of time with their Hall cousins. Lots of video games and sleep overs. Chad and I got a little too used to just one child at home. (why didn't we enjoy it more when we really only had one child?)
