Merry Christmas!!

We have had a great Christmas (so far) We didn't sleep great last night, I thought I'd grow out of that when I got older...
I was to excited. I was ultra sneaky. Mark thought he was going to get something in a little box, but I got him a home theater system. I snuck it in side and hid it in the Laundry room inside another box that has been in there for ever. I was so excited to give it to him.
Oh and my awesome sister gave us her "old" video camera for christmas, so we set it up last night and taped the kids this morning. It was like waking the dead to get Lydia up this morning. She didnt' get a nap yesterday and was dead at 5:30, so we woke her up gave her a bath and put her in bed at 6. We had to tell her 3 times this morning that she gets to open presents and have candy before she woke up and got out of bed.
Oh and I got a pocket knife, and a special eddition of Mary Poppins, AND a cool fiddle music book. Mark knows me well :)
We didn't really take pictures this morning since we had the video camera. So I wont be posting many pictures.
OH OH OH, our internet will be set up on MONDAY!!

Coming Soon

So it is looking like we will get internet soon. With Marks new calling he need to communicate with the Bishop on a daily basis, which means email. WAHOO!
And I'm so excited. We just got a Wii for our Christmas. We had an extra surprise Chriastmas "bonus" so we got it over the weekend. It's made out arms a little sore. But it beats the HECK out of watching TV.

mostly pictures

Lydia went as Giselle from Enchanted this year. 1/2 the time she makes me call her Giselle, and she wont answer to Lydia.

Danton is my little climbing monkey, so I thought this was very fitting. :)

Not to mention he is my trouble maker. He loves my cabinets and I can't keep him out of my kitchen the door way is too wide.

I guess he decided he was hungry cause he got in his chair all by him self

This is Lydia posing in her heart blanket skirt. Isn't she lovely!


And one day Lydia left several pieces of her shredded wheat cereal in her bowl and after they were all nice and soggy, Danton pulled the bowl off the table and ate the mess off the floor. As you can see he was quite proud of him self, and he actually did a pretty good job of "cleaning" it all up. He got every last piece.

Thanksgiving day Lydia got a hair cut. She had been talking about it since I got mine and she even held open scissors up to her hair one time, so I figured I'd better do it before she does. This is the before picture.


And these are the after. I love it and she loves it. She holds up her hair and says, "this is my style" It's pretty cute.
