Our Family

Two Posts in the Same Month!!

 Christmas 2014 will definitely be a year our family will be talking about for years to come.  It was pretty crazy....let's see if I can fill in some of the details.

 The family room was packed with toys for all the good little girls and boys.  Alison's grandparents, mom and dad, brother and sister in law, and two nieces stayed the week with us.  Jeff's Christmas present which was only suppose to take a day to set up, ended up taking all week, the garbage disposal broke (and went all over), and then my 18 month old niece threw up (it was sooo bad) about 3:30 am on Christmas morning...so, we after we got her and everything cleaned up, we woke everyone up and had Christmas about 5 am.  It was pretty quiet opening their presents because they were all so sleepy.
 Avonlea has loved her Dr. McStuffin doctor table.
 Jack loved his kindle and legos...
 We made gingerbread houses at my bro and sis in laws.  The kids loved decorating them.



 This was the mess of the garbage disposal and my picture of distress that I sent to my dad and Jeff (it happened as we were trying to get all the cooking done on Christmas eve).
We love being so close to temple square again!  We loved looking at the light (ok, we all loved it except Drew).
 We took a great trip to the aquarium with family and friends about a week ago.  It was so fun!
 Jack was so brave for surgery.  He had great care! There were some complications but everyone was able to be fixed in surgery. Recovery was a little harder than we had expected but he is doing so great now and we are glad it is over and hope it doesn't happen again!
 Jack reading to the kids on his kindle.
 How in the world did I ever live without one of these, puppies??  It has changed my life.  Cooking life, anyways.
 Drew continues to crack us up.
 Loving the touching pool at the aquarium!

 Avonlea loves the aquarium too!!


 We woke up to this on Christmas morning.  I hated it.
 We had tickets to Savior of the World  and a babysitter but Avonlea was sick so Jeff said he could handle it and let me go with a friend and Mark and Alicia.  It was so fun!
 This funny girl!!
 Enjoying spaghetti!
I wasn't feeling very good one Saturday morning so Jeff did Avonlea's hair. So funny! Who knew, he knew how to use bobby pins?!?   I asked him if he meant to do a side pony tail and he said, "No! She was moving way too much.  That was suppose to be the middle!"

Life is good!

Avonlea's hair is sooo long! She is getting so grown up! It seems like not long ago that she and Adelyn were babies!

I miss that silly Drew! It's good to see that he didn't lose his personality with the move! We should skype/google chat sometime!
