A couple of weeks ago Molly and John decided to come for a visit. And because we couldn't wait to see them, we decided to pick them up from the airport. There flight had a 3hr delay so by the time they got there Kaden and Alice where SO excited to see each other. When they first saw each other they were a little bit shy but that didn't last too long. They held hands all the way to the car and then chatted like adults for most of the ride home. It was so cute to see them happy together. We took the kids to the Rec center to swim. They all loved it and cried when it was time to go. Too cute!!! Hanging out at GrandmasThe night before John left, we left the kids with Grandma and go to have "date night" it was so fun to get to go out. By the end of the trip Kaden and Alice were back to their love/hate relationship. It was so fun to spend time with them we defiantly miss them way to much and where so glad that they came to visit.
Look what Santa left! This year we stayed with Richards' Mom and Dads for Christmas. Christmas eve we played games and had a good time. I don't know if me of the kids were more excited for Christmas morning. We woke up around 6:30 and opened presents then had breakfast and headed out to the ranch to see my family. Kaden played with his train non-stop for 2 days and Maddie loved everything. It was a wonderful holiday season that once again came and went way to fast.
This year we had Christmas Eve at Dave and Marylynn's shop. There was lots of family and lots of good food! The kids all got to open their Christmas pajamas. It was fun to see all the kids so excited about what Santa was going to bring them.
Making our gingerbread house this year was quite a challenge. Mainly just getting the candy on the house instead of in Kaden's mouth. It was a lot of fun once he got into decorating it though...the pictures say it all!
Decorating this year has been lots of fun because Kaden is old enough to get excited about the holidays on the other hand we have a little tree un-decorator named Maddie. She does it so innocently too... she reaches out and grabs an ornament and is turned around to get away before its all the way off the tree, then waddles away as fast as she can. Lets just say the bottom half of the tree is no longer decorated and it might just stay that way.
Kaden loves to put the star on the top! Kaden liked to put all the bells in one spot. Our little ornemant theif!
Thanksgiving weekend was so much fun this year. We had it at my Moms house this year and because its "the off year", Ammon and Lisa and Ryan and Angie were the only ones besides us that were there. It was so fun just visiting and letting the kids play with the cousins that they don't get to see very often. Thursday after lunch all the men went shooting and so on Friday all the girls went up to St. George for the Santa's workshop and breakfast. We all had such a great time. It was so fun to see everyone..... I love the holidays!!
