Christmas 2013

We are so excited to spend Christmas in our own home this year!  The kids slept in the same room together and in the morning (7:00 am) after we had family prayer we all snuck into the living room where Santa had left lots of toys.  Adelyn got the easy bake oven she wanted and a new bike with a baby seat for her American doll.  Boston got he Big Blue Truck he has been telling everyone Santa is bringing him since November.  The superman Boss is holding up is the present Adelyn bought Boston and he bought her a Rainbow loom set.  They were so excited to give each other gifts which was so sweet.  It was awesome to spend Christmas morning together as own family in our own home.  Later we did go to Grandma and Granpa Young and Rowley's home where the kids got too many toys.  Boston even said at G and G Youngs "there's just too many to open."  He was right... they were spoiled.  Travis surprised me and got me a Kitchen Aid and I surprised him (the best I could) and got him a Snowboarding coat.  So grateful for the birt of our Savior and all that he has blessed us with.  We are grateful to celebrate the holiday with family.  Our hearts are full. Merry Christmas

 

Santa

Santa came to Boston's preschool and he got to sit on his lap. He of course told Santa that he wanted a big blue truck and it needed to be a 4X4.  He was not afraid of Santa and just sat right up there.  Here he is talking to Santa with some friends from his preschool class

Adelyn's dance recital

Although Adelyn is a gymnast at heart, I really wanted her to take a dance class.  I think dance and gymastics help each other out a bit and I wanted her to try something different this year.  She and I came to a compromise that she would join a dance class that also had gymnastics once a week as well.  She is learning a lot and I think she likes it more that she wants to admit (after all, she is dancing throughout my house all. the. time.).  She had her first dance recital of the year and did a great job.  I am so proud of her and she has amazing stage presence.  She loves to be the center of attention and is not shy on stage.  Plus she is the most gorgeous girl out there. Here's some pictures of my little "dancing queen."
