Christmas 2011

We had another great Christmas this year. It was busy and crazy and Luke had to work all the way until the 23rd! We took lots of fun pictures and I have posted most of them (:
Christmas with the Talley's
Grandma Yaya had gotten those fun pills you put in water and they expand into animal shapes, Livvy and Parker waited very patiently to see what theirs would turn into.

They had a lot of fun playing together, even though they don't look like it in this picture (:

At home writing letters to Santa.
I helped Gabrie write one and then Livvy wanted to do one too.

Gabrie picked some treats to leave for Santa and wrote a cute note.
Christmas Morning- I got some really good pictures that show just how happy and excited the girls were. We walked down the stairs and Gabrie saw that there was a Care Bear in each of their stockings and she just covered her mouth, giggling, and sat down on the stairs! It was so cute, she was so excited about it she didn't quite know what to do!

Livvy loved her presents and had no problem opening them but her favorite part was the candy!


I don't know what was wrong but she is still so cute!
The girls got lots of fun presents, like ear muffs and boots
A toy car with people
A play kitchen
With aprons, chef hats, dishes, and food! Along with lots of other fun things (:
Dressed in their Sunday best
This is the best picture I could get, Livvy didn't want to cooperate.
I did get one of her smiling though.
But this is what she really wanted, her pass and nee (pacifier and blanket)
After church at Grandma Williams
The Nativity
Mary and Joseph

The Angel
The Shepherds
The Star
The Wise Men
Gingerbread houses

Grandpa is a good sport!

Christmas was extra special this year because Miriam, Wade, and Mamie came to visit!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oh and on a totally unrelated note... I turned 30! Can't believe it, I am not in my 20's! Actually I handled it quite well, no major breakdowns (: Luke took the day off work (which was the best present I could ask for, he never takes a day off!) and we had donuts for breakfast then went to an indoor fun center with the girls. Then came home, had naps, and then Connie watched the girls while Luke came with me to get a manicure and pedicure and then to dinner. It was a great day!

Glad you guys had a good Christmas! Lexi loved the candy the most too. Everytime I turned around she had gotten into another treat from her stocking.

The kitchen looks cute! Hope we get some snow soon so they can use the earmuffs and boots soon. It's kinda been a bum winter as far as the snow goes.

Happy Birthday! Glad the big 3-0 wasn't too terrible. I'll get my turn this summer.
