Santa

Santa was at our ward Christmas party, but we forgot our camera and so we took the crazies to the mall. They were so excited. I knew that the girls would be alright, but I worried about Ty. She is still so shy around some people and I thought for sure she wouldn't get close to him. I was wrong. She walked right up to him and even answered him when he talked to her. The girls did good remembering everything they wanted to ask for and made sure to ask some questions that they had for him. Such awesome little girls I have!

Santa

We went to see Santa on Saturday and the twins did so good! I definitely thought that they would cry or not even get close to him, but I was so wrong. When it was our turn they went right up and started to talk with him before they were even on his lap. I helped get them up on his lap and they got a picture.


We then attempted to get Ty to sit on his lap, but she would have none of it. So Santa came up with a great idea and this is the picture that we got.


I love it and Ty was completely happy. After the picture Santa sat back down and talked with the girls for a while. They told him what they wanted and he asked them what their favorite colors were and then stories about how Mrs. Claus' favorite color is purple. He was such a wonderful Santa. I'm sure the other people in line were wishing that we would hurry up. When we were leaving Ty started to laugh and waved bye to Santa. She is so much like the twins (with everything) I sometimes wonder if they should have been triplets.
It was a wonderful experience and I'm happy that we were able to go see him this season.

Decorations, Santa, and Thanksgiving

I've been behind on my posts lately and that is probably because I don't feel like writing anything. I haven't been feeling well the past week or so and I am using that as my poor excuse to be somewhat lazy!
So to catch you all up on what has gone on in our lives. We put up all our Christmas decorations and the girls had a blast decorating the tree. As you can see a lot of the decorations are on the bottom and I will leave it exactly the way they decorated it. I love it!





The day before Thanksgiving we took the kids to the mall to go have a visit with Santa. All day I had been telling them that we were going to go see Santa and sit on his lap and tell him what we want for Christmas, because 'Santa gives us toys on Christmas'. They were so excited to go. When we get there, they see him sitting there and get all excited saying 'Santa Santa'. Zoey went first and she did awesome and then it was the girls' turn and they didn't do so well. I walked Scarlett up to him and she just started crying and didn't want to get anywhere near him. Dan was holding Hawley and she was doing the same thing. Finally Santa slid over so Dan could sit by him and hold the girls. Hawley went first and she told Santa what she wanted and was very excited to get some candy. Scarlett was hesitant to go even though she would be able to sit on Dan's lap, but she did and she talked to Santa for a bit and then got her candy. They waved and said goodbye and were happy as can be. Silly girls! Sorry about these pics, they were taken by Jenna's camer and she doesn't know how to work it.




Thanksgiving was a good time. We went to Delta and just hung out with family. We stayed until Saturday so we could go to the tree festival and then we came home. I didn't take any pictures, because I am so scatterbrained and completely forgot.
So there is an update of what is going on in our house. Nothing to exciting, but as long as things aren't crappy, I'll take it.
Oh by the way I am so excited because I am completely DONE with my Christmas shopping! YEAH!!!!!
