My Girls are Spoiled!!!!

Later on Christmas Day, all of my siblings except for Steph's family, came over to Grammy and Grandpa's for Christmas Day Dinner and gifts.  All I can say, is Jaylee and MaKynna are way to spoiled.  Jaylee got a big black horse with a doll to ride it, along with a Disney baby doll of Ariel, a coloring book, a set of 20 dinosaurs and a horseback riding outing and another black horse.  MaKynna got a ball, a coloring book, a GIANT teddy bear, a pot and pan set for the kitchen that she LOVES!!  So they got lots of fun stuff to add to their collection!!!  They LOVED being able to play with their cousins and enjoyed the beautiful weather that we had!!  We played games, hung out, talked a bunch, played more games and laughed through it all!!  

 J was so excited for her BIG present

 Kynna was just happy to be able to un-wrap anything and even tried to do a few that weren't hers again.  

 This is a very HAPPY Jaylee!!

And all the kids LOVED Kynna's big Teddy Bear!!!

Christmas Morning 2011

Kynna was the first one up Christmas morning but it wasn't to much before the rest of the gang.  Grammy was actually up first making cinnamon rolls, but of the kids she was.  She went to the living room to explore and of course found the cookies and milk left for Santa.  I swear she has a nose for food!!  We opened gifts and stockings then cleaned up for the next round and had some breakfast.  Kynna has some serious wiggy hair but  she's cute and can pull it off.  She was pretty good at unwrapping and seemed to get some extra practice opening other gifts for other people when she could manage to sneak one away from the tree.  I had to re-wrap like 5 different gifts because of this.  Anyway, J acted as Santa and passed out the gifts and stockings to everyone.  She was so excited to see what the real Santa had brought her.  

 I don't think that she was to thrilled about the clothes.  Little stinker!!!

Christmas Eve 2011

We spent Christmas this year in Arizona with our Hoover family.  The weather was of course wonderful and perfect the entire time.  We drove down since it was so much cheaper to drive all of us instead of flying.  The girls did really well in the car both down and back.  Kynna on the last day threw a fit when it was time to put her in her car seat, but she calmed down very quickly!!  We spent about 10 days down there and on the road.      We had a great time except when we all managed to catch the flu bug.  I of course had to have it on Christmas Eve, but it passed quickly.  Almost everyone was over on Christmas Eve for dinner.  We had Mexican food from a little place down the road that was very good.  And then we had the traditional reading of Twas the Night before Christmas by my mom.  Kynna went to bed pretty early since she was in total meltdown, so Jaylee opened her nammers and got the cookies and milk ready for Santa on her own.  So funny story about the cookies.  My mom had to show some property to a client that came in from out of state, so she left my sister Sarah and I to make some sugar cookies for the kids to decorate and for Santa.  Well she suggested that we double the recipe, however Say and I decided that she was off her rocker and that since the cookie cutters were big, that we need much more.  So we quadrupled the recipe and it was WAY to much.  We laughed so hard thinking that maybe mom really does know what she is talking about.  It was so funny!!  But we learned our lesson!!  Mom really does know her stuff!!!

 We had made my parents their stockings a few years ago, so this year, since Aunt Say is living with them, we decided that she needed a great big stocking as well!!!

Showing off her huge stocking!!  She was setting it closer to the fireplace for Santa to see and hopefully fill for her!!

Dentist Check-ups

The girls had their dentist check-ups just before we left for Arizona and they both did wonderful!!  This was Kynna's first visit and she loved it!!  She only screamed once when they tried to take the toothbrush away to clean her teeth!!  They had to get another one to use because she wasn't letting that thing go!!!  They are both doing great with brushing their teeth and no cavities!!  Which is wonderful since I know my girls like the sweets a little to much!!!  

Twins for a Day...

Jaylee and her cousin Hudson, decided that they wanted to wear the same dress to church one Sunday while Hudson was over for a sleepover.  They are so adorable and it was fun to see them all matchy matchy!!  It was super fun having Hudson over as well, we will have to do more sleepovers soon!!!

Santa Visits...

This year we only went to see Santa twice-far from the 7 times we saw him last year!!!  Once was at the Layton City Party and the other was at the Davis Hospital party!!  Both parties were fun and Jaylee really loved being able to see Santa and tell him all about how she wanted a rocking horse, even though when she wrote to Santa she told him she wanted an Easy Bake Oven.  MaKynna on the other hand only wanted the candy from Santa!!  She really did not enjoy one of the Santa visits!!!  Maybe next year!!!

Our family at the Layton City Party.  It was really cold that night!!!
