Merry Christmas 2013!!!!!!

Christmas morning has finally arrived!!! YAY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! For the boys, it has taken just tooooo darn long. ;) The kids slept in til about 7:30ish...(not too shabby.) We all went down to see what Santa Clause had delivered and he didn't disappoint. The kids got some fun toys and treats a plenty. They played all day with them and you just couldn't wipe those smiles off. LOVE THAT!!! G and G Jaggi came to have a delish ham dinner with us. Love them! They made the day just that much more sweet. We ate and hung out all day. It was a simple yet wonderful Christmas yet once again. Until next year!!!!!

The first look!

Tired eyes....yet big smiles!







Cute boys love their toys!
Daddy is so cute helping them with their fun Christmas projects. Here they made planes. They painted pictures/ornaments and did puzzles. They kept busy having fun!
Zip enjoyed the ham dinner bone! Merry Christmas to him!

The tuckered out kids then all were tucked into bed and mamma and dadda cuddled up by the tree! We be silly too!


Have loved our Christmas cards and neighborhood gifts/tags. Always one of our favorite things of the season to hang up and enjoy. Glad that our new friends and neighbors have taken us under their wings and made us feel special. It is always hard to be new, but these neighbors sure have made it great! All the treats have been amazing!                    MERRY CHRISTMAS ya'll!!

Christmas Eve 2013!!

This year the Christmas season the kids have been so excited! Rightfully so! They now remember years past and they made sure all things were in order for Santas arrival. It really is so fun to see and watch their excitement.

Christmas + Kids = Awesome!!!

With all the treats we have made this month, we had to make some fresh, fun looking frosted sugar cookies. The kids did an amazing job. Their detail was great.


Yum..yum..yum...nom...nom...nom!
The magic keys were placed on the outside of the front door....since we don't have a chimney.
The cookies and milk were set out for santa by the Christmas tree. (I love how in this picture Crew was seconds away from attacking the cookies! Hold him back Tate. Ha Ha!)
We then headed to Logan to enjoy our traditional McClellan Christmas Eve dinner and party! The food was delish, the nativity with the kids was darling, and the white elephant gift exchange was hilarious!

Crew was so funny and cute just toddling around all night!
Cute cousins doing the nativity!
White elephants!

I got a spider filled trap! YUCK!!! Ha Ha! It was so funny and great!
The kids loved their gifts. Theirs were nice and not so silly.
The dudes jammed out on the musical instruments....
....and Tate is really that good! He really has talent.
We then drove home and got the kids all tucked into bed. They were so tired, yet still so excited for Santa to come! :)

RC Willey ROCKS!

We went to the mall last week and down here in Layton they wont let you take your own little snap shots like Logan did. Bummer!!! I am a picture taker and it was super sad to not get a yearly picture taken with Santa. We just have to for the blog scrapbook, ya know!? These kids are growing like weeds and we just need to capture all of it!! So hence we went to another destination....RC WILLEY! Yeah, a furniture store that will let you take all the pictures you want and they take some and give them to you for free as well! LOVE THAT!! So hence, we were excited! Yeah, they are not perfect and yeah..I don't want them to be. I want them natural and fun to look at years down the way!

Cute Tater! (6 years!)
Sweet Davin (4 years!)
Baby Crew a Roo (1 years old!)
The fam!! (Yeah, I took a picture of their picture!)
That evening we did some more fun Christmas treats! We made rice crispy treats and cut them out with Christmas cookie cutters...then decorated them with candy! Yum and fun!


The kids then went to bed on the floor in the living room by our big main tree. They had soft Christmas music playing in the background...and ohhhh how relaxing it looked. Wish our old hips would be able to sleep on the floor again! ;)

Davin's preschool Christmas program!

Davin is part of a wonderful and fun preschool. Barneck to be exact! They put so much time and energy into all the fun things that they do. Davin loves it! I do to, and yes my oldest sister that is one of his teachers does as well. The Christmas program was so neat. They had all sorts of musical numbers that the kids were in groups to sing. They dressed up in darling outfits and did their thing. They had put a lot of time into practicing and you could tell. Aunt Cindi was super fun to watch as well. She is awesome!! So glad that we were able to go, (Aaron was able to get off work) watch and partake of all the goodness of it all... (the treats and Santa were fun too!)
Davin was a "Marcher"



He was a reindeer too!!

Santa came...(the kids didn't know) and Davin was all smiles!!

Talk about the cutest and most tasty dessert...a snowman krispy cream! YUMMMM!

Davin is such a sweet little boy! Not a mean bone in his sweet innocent lil body. We were so proud of him being so brave. He learned all his songs so well and sings them to us on a regular basis. We love you Davin!!!
