Christmas!

Our Christmas count down, only 4 days left!


This was our FIRST Christmas in our own home since we have been married. We were very excited to set everything up for our kids and have them come down to see what Santa brought. It was SO fun! Nothing beats a happy child.


Cookies for Santa! Brinley was really excited to put these out, and water instead of milk :)


Casen LOVES any type of car, motorcycle, train, tractor, etc. He was very excited and did not want to get off.


The pink princess vanity and piano she "always wanted."


The cookies for Santa are gone!




Tough guy face :)


The new Princess Bike!


Brinley has the best excited faces. Yes... it is only PEZ


Casen still sitting on his motorcycle. He wasn't interested in any other presents, except maybe the licorice :)


We had our good friends the Deardens over for Christmas dinner.


Linkin, Brinley, and Maddox

Mark, Clarrissa, and Landon

My brother Mark, his wife Clarissa, and their adorable little boy Landon came to see us for a couple days in the middle of December. We had a great time with them! My kids love their Aunt and Uncle. We got to go see the show La Reve and go to a fun dinner at Hash House A Go-Go. Thanks for visiting!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken the first week of December, by our friend Raquel Wilbur. She is an awesome photographer! It was absolutely freezing, not to mention snow on the ground.... yes in Las Vegas! But despite the cold and slightly cranky kids, I thought the pictures turned out great!
