Birthday and Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas at our house, and Hailey had a wonderful birthday. We took Hailey to Princess and the Frog and then gave her a princess Tiana, which she loved. Then we began Christmas eve and my mom and Bill's house, where Santa made an appearance and gave Hailey her first present (a Barbie Cruise Ship). We then had Christmas at our house which was wonderful. I even hosted my first Christmas dinner for the West family, and made my first Turkey. I got a new camera for Christmas and it takes great photos and video, so I have been playing around with my ivideo program:

Before we had only 9 days left until Christmas we...

Hailey had her 3rd Birthday Party and Princess Ariel made an appearance. Everyone had a wonderful time, and Hailey got a fish for her birthday from Greg and I. We also gave goldfish to all of the kids as a party favor. Though they are all probably dead by now, the kids liked being able to take the fishy's home. (Sorry Mom's and Dads)

Hailey was the happiest kid in the world and completely entranced by Ariel

Because we like to shove everything in all at once, she also had her very first dance recital that night. She was the best little ladybug in the Snow White Ballet. I realized how much she really love's it all, and I actually think she is going to love dance more than I thought. She wanted to stay for all of the rehearsals too and she is the youngest one in the whole company.

Richy proposed to Makenzie on Santa's lap... and she said yes.

We did a lot of TV watching because we have been sick FOREVER!!! In total we have had three colds x 4, the Swine Flu, three ear infections, and a couple of extra fun things just because.

We did make it to the BYU vs. Utah game, though we lost and it was chilly, we still had fun.

We saw Santa, and Hailey was a big girl and asked Santa for a Cinderella Baby.

My brother made it home from his mission in Philadelphia, and we are all so happy to have him home, though he would turn around and go right back for another two years.

Our latest attempt at "Family Photos" it has been quite a challenge to get a good one, but here is one that I like, though it is a little dark.

My mom's side of the family at Tyson's homecoming.

A great shot of my mom's side again. Why can't I get Hailey and Gavin to look and smile at the camera when it is just the four of us?

May your Holiday's be joyful.

Merry Christmas
