The day after Christmas was spent enjoying these two cuties!! We also went out to eat at Red Lobster for my Dad's birthday! Ami and her girls have been here at my house till today. They went home to Monticello so they can start packing to move up here!!! They will be moving to Lehi :) I'm so glad that we'll be able to see baby Havyn as much as we want! My mom and Derek have also been here at my house! My Dad went back to Elko on Monday, but he came back tonight because my mom, Derek, and him are going to Las Vegas tomorrow for a concert. It's been a fun week!












Christmas Day!!!

Alexis in one of the many dresses she got for Christmas! Keri's little family, and my little Kinleigh on her very first Christmas!





My girls didn't even wake up till around 10 a.m. on Christmas morning! We slept out in the living room next to the fire.. and cuddled as a family!! Alexis couldn't believe that we didn't hear Santa come down the chimney since we were right next to the fireplace. When she woke up she said "Mom, Santa is SO sneaky, I didn't hear a thing!" Christmas morning was amazing! We spent it with just our little family :) We listened to Christmas music while the girls opened all their gifts, and they both were so excited!



Kinleigh took a little break to take a drink of her bottle between opening gifts! LOL!

Alexis loved everything she got!





Kinleigh had fun going through Alexis' candy from her stocking!








Alexis was thrilled when she saw her stocking stuffed full of goodies! She must have been a good girl this year!


We had such a great Christmas! The whole month of December was filled with Christmas music, baking, decorating, and enjoying family! I LOVE this holiday :) I'm sad it is already over. This year I really tried to concentrate on teaching Alexis more about the real meaning of Christmas. We read "The Nativity" several times, and Alexis asked all sorts of questions. She is definitely old enough to understand and it makes Christmas even more special.


Christmas evening was spent with my family and some of Jonathon's family. We had the best prime rib that my mom made! It was delicious :) We also watched "17 Miracles." It was such a great movie.


























Christma Eve Part 2!

We left Chad and Kelly's pretty late, but wanted to do a few things together as a family. We made hot chocolate, and popcorn! We read "The Nativity, and "The Night Before Christmas." We put blankets on the floor by the fireplace, and cuddled while we watched some Christmas movies! Jonathon and Kinleigh fell asleep on the couch together and they looked so cute!



Alexis all cozy by the fireplace.. with her popcorn ready to watch some movies!


I sure do love these three!







Christmas Eve Part 1!

These are our two Christmas trees we had this Christmas! The one on the left is fake, and I really just threw a few things on it to put it in front of the window. I really loved our real tree! It was so beautiful when we first got it! Towards the end it wasn't looking to great... but it always smelt wonderful!! We spent the first part of Christmas Eve over at Chad and Kelly's with my whole family! These are the new PJ's my mom got the girls for Christmas Eve night! They both looked SO adorable :)


This is the girls opening presents from Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncles and Aunts. Since we weren't going to see everyone till a little later on Christmas day, we let all the kiddos open these gifts! All my sisters got the girls such cute clothes! And Grandpa and Grandma spoiled them of course :)

Havyn and Kinleigh hanging out at Aunt Kelly's.... :) Luckily with all the noise Kinleigh was still able to catch some much needed zzz's! We enjoyed some really yummy appetizers, and played some games as well!


The best part of Christmas Eve was finally being able to share the wonderful secret Jonathon and I had been keeping since the end of October! I wrapped a really cute frame I got at Quilted Bear for my parents that says "Sugar and Spice and everything nice, that's what girls are made of!" There is a spot for three pictures and we filled one spot with a picture of our first Ultrasound! Yup.. WE ARE PREGNANT! My mom is going to put a picture of Alexis and Kinleigh in the other two spots.. so she'll have all three of our GIRLS in there!!! Yup... we were given a 95% that the baby is another GIRL!! I am supposed to go back on Jan. 3 to double check. As of today I am 14 weeks and 3 days along :) My family was pretty surprised that we were pregnant again :) I think they were more shocked that I was able to keep quiet so long. I'm not good at secrets.. LOL! We did the same thing to Jonathon's mom on Christmas day. We gave her a picture frame with the ultrasound picture and she was so excited! We are THRILLED to be having another beautiful baby girl! I absolutely LOVE the pic above because it shows Kinleigh and the ultrasound of the baby both! They will only be 16 months apart :) I'm hoping they'll be best buds! We were even able to keep the secret from Alexis. It was hard, but we waited. She came with us to the Ultrasound on Dec. 23rd. She is pretty excited... she says she wanted it to be a boy. I'm sure she'll be just as good a big sister to the new baby as she is to Kinleigh!

This is the best family picture we could get. For some reason Izzy hates being in pictures so she wasn't happy.. and Nicoley didn't want to stand still. It's already pretty difficult to get a family picture with this many people.. so who knows what it will be like in a few years. LOL!

Derek got cut out of this one... ha ha.

And this is what goes on when trying to get everyone in one group!!!

Kinleigh opening some presents at Aunt Kelly's on Christmas Eve!






















Cell Phone Pic's!

We went to Chuck E Cheese for Aleah's birthday in early December. The girls are so cute!

This is Jonathon and Alexis being silly... Sorry picture isn't turned right side up... OOPS.

We went bowling in Lehi with Aunt VaLynn's family, Jesse, Sterling, Adam, Keri, Chad, Kelly, and Nicole one night. It was SO much fun! Kinleigh had a blast and was dancing around the whole time! I beat everyone the first round with a score of 157!

Cute little Lexi!

This is our gingerbread house we made!

My beautiful daughter! Grandma Celena took this pic one night when she was babysitting the baby :) Kinleigh LOVES these bracelets!

Kinleigh LOVES bath time!





Kinleigh is SO happy in the bath! She gets really mad at me when I take her out... LOL! She is showing her two bottom teeth in this pic! SO cute :)









Alexis' dance recital!

Alexis had her little Christmas dance recital on Dec. 15th. I forgot my camera, but took my video camera. It doesn't take the best pic's but oh well.. at least I got some! She did a great job :) All day she said she was so excited to perform :) She said she wasn't nervous at all. After the recital she goes "Mom, I got a little bit nervous at first!" She sure is a cutie and is getting SO big! I love her energetic personality :) I just wish I had some of her energy :)















I love my little dancer!
