Christmas

 At Eliza's school Christmas performance.

 We got a pretty little tree and had fun decorating it.

Eliza and I went to the Nutcracker with some friends.  It one of the best performances I have seen.  We had a great evening together and stayed out way past bedtime.

For Christmas we went to Cornville.  We got to celebrate Grandma's birthday with her.

The kids love being at Grandma and Granddad's!

Coulson was a little afraid of the dogs but he warmed up to them and wanted to be outside with them all the time.  We just sat and talked to Toby for quite a while.

A friend from church has an awesome train track he sets up every year.  The train goes all over the house and has tons of track to run on.  It was very impressive.

 The kids loved it but what they loved the most was the candy car on one of the trains.

Eliza threw up a couple of times in the middle of the night and was a little tired the next day.  Thankfully she was better by Christmas Eve.

Coulson loved playing fetch with the dogs.

Christmas Eve we all got jammies.

Christmas morning...

Addie woke up with a runny nose and the grumps.

Coulson got a remote control car and was in heaven over it.  He really scored.  Santa is so nice!

It was so fun to see the kids so happy and excited about Christmas, they said it was the best day ever.  I was so happy they were happy.  Unfortunately Addie kept us up all night Christmas Eve with the beginning of a nasty cold.  The day after Christmas Coulson caught the cold and was coughing and hoarse.  He was sick for the next week.  We rented out our apt to some friends in the ward for 2 weeks.  We stayed at Grandma's for a week and then went to my sister Becky's and then to Cody's sister Erin's.  Poor Coulson and Addie we coughing all night every night the last week.  I love looking at these pictures because it reminds me of the fun happy moments we shared as a family.
