Christmas/Snow/Sea World/Dance Performance

Trip to Sea World 2009
Elmo..this is for Chase


Mallory having a fun time

The Shamu show is amazing

Chase loves Elmo..but when we saw him in costume..well, that was a different story. Body shaking..screaming..

This drawing is what I love about being a mother on Christmas..
This was Mallory's first year of really trying to understand the true meaning of Christmas..
This year she decided all on her own to make a card for Santa. It was the cutest thing ever. After she was done drawing it she wanted to leave some cookies and milk. Actually she wanted to leave Santa a tuna sandwich because she told us that Santa probably gets tired of eating cookies at everyone's house.

The kids right before we opened presents.

Mallory on Christmas night. Completely tired out.

Chase was done also.. A little too much for a 1 year old to soak up!

Mallory at her dance performance. They performed at an assisted living home.

Playing in the snow.

Chase learning about snowballs.

Yes, we did get snow too. Don't you love the cowboy boots. She came out of her bedroom like this all on her own.

It looks like you guys had fun at sea World. Chase is too funny when meeting Elmo. When I look Dallin to Disneyland for the first time, he was so excited to meet Buzz. Lets just say that I was way more excited than he was.

Love the boots!! So much fun. I want to take my kids to Sea World one of these next trips. Rex was sitting on my lap and he was so excited to see the "BIG" Elmo. He has a little Elmo that he sleeps with.

By the way when your family picture came up I asked Rex, "who are those people?" First he said "I dunno" but then he got all excited and said pointing to the screen "that's Scott." So you can let Scott know that of all your family Rex remembers his name but nobody elses. He says Mallory and Chasse are his friends. I guess we need to see you more.
