Christmas Morning Line up

On Christmas morning Sage was the first one up at 6:45. We hung out in our room until 7:00 and then I let her loose to wake up the household. The kids had to eat some breakfast before they were allowed to line up and go for it. By that point it was about 8:00 and they were all bouncing off of the walls with excitement.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

These are just a few pictures of Grandpa reading the kids the book "Twas the Night before Christmas."

Christmas Eve Nativity

On Christmas Eve we did our traditional nativity scene. Sage was Mary, Gavin was Joseph, Will was the Inn Keeper, Hallie was the angel, others were wise men and sheperds and David was the Christmas Donkey.

Christmas Eve Sledding

We spent the Christmas holidays out in Roosevelt, UT with Jason's family. On Christmas Eve day we took the kids sledding at a local park. Sage seemed to have a great time and Hallie didn't make any expression other than a blank face the entire time. Jason also took the kids for a sled ride behind the snowmobiles.

Sage's Ballet Recital

On Decemer 8th Sage had her ballet recital. They did a darling dance to Skaterz Waltz. They looked like they walked off the set of "White Christmas". Sage did a fantastic job.

Hallie's 1st ponytail

These are just a few pictures of Hallie's first pigtails. She finally has long enough hair to put up. However it is kind of a mullet, the top is still quite short.

Trimming the Tree

The week after Thanksgiving we put up our christmas tree. Sage had a great time putting the ornaments on (all in one spot on the tree) and Hallie took them back off again as fast as we could put them up. Anyway, it turned out fine,
