Preparations...

We got our tree today...I was putting on the lights and Sierra says "OHHH, I'm just so excited!!! Oh, how they love to decorate the tree.


Kitty, she just likes to be close to us and sleep...

This is a taste of what it looks like near the end...Ashton has tired and is sitting on the couch admiring the tree...daddy enjoying a slice of pizza and Sierra still decorating! :)


Grannie brought over a Gingerbread kit for Ashton so we decorated that too!

Grannie brought Sierra a sewing machine and she sewed a stocking for her AG dolls.

Sierra and I watched "Evan Almighty", Daddy was watching the big game USC vs. UCLA and USC won and Ashton cuddled in his bed and watched his fav "How to Train Your Dragon."

A GREAT DAY!

Oh, Christmas Tree...

Today we continued our Christmas Tree tradition. I didn't even have to go! Jake and Ashton went together, took Terry (Jake's Dad) along too and they grabbed us a tree without unwrapping it. I was at Sophi's house making cinnamon rolls for my YW's lesson that I have to give tomorrow. Sierra was with BFF Karlie at her iceskating competion where she won 1st place. Sierra was being a very supportive friend. When Sierra and I got home we all decorated the tree. The kids love to decorate the tree!!!

They found one that is our family as snowpeople. It has each of our names by a snowman. My friend Cassie gave that one to us and we all love it! Thanks Cassie!


TA DA!

This warmed my heart! They gathered all their Christmas books under the tree and turned off all the lights and Sierra read to Ashton "The Night Before Christmas" just by the light of the Christmas tree!
Our kitty loves our tree! She bats at the lights and the ornaments, hides under it and sleeps under it. This will be her first Christmas!
