Christmas Morning

We had a very merry Christmas and hope that you did too! Here is the run down of Christmas morning.
We made Mattie sleep in Jake's room, Matties room has direct access to the family room and she has no self control when santa is involved. We set up the chairs to be a gate to keep them out of family room until we said go!
Jake trying to wait


Jake saying please mom, really


Jake saying forget it, I am breaking out of this joint.



Mattie and her American Girl doll, the only thing she wanted (and no she has not put this doll down yet)

Jake and his blue bike. He is a riding machine!

Christmas Eve

We went to the Mission Inn on Monday, Mattie and Jake were willing models for a few minutes. Here they are by the BIG Christmas tree.
The Santa Hats I made last weekend, were so easy, I decided to make the Christmas Trees. These were even easier.
I really wanted to get this picture with Mattie and Jake, but they were DONE with me and would pose for no more pictures. But my super cute niece, Miss K, was a willing model! Isn't she a cutie!

Santa's Hats

Tomorrow we have a special Christmas Dinner to go to, I was get to bring cupcakes. I hate it when I go to all the trouble to make something for dessert and no one eats it. So this time I decided to bake these cupcake 'pops'. And for something special, they are Santa hats.


And no, I am not this creative, and i got the idea from Bakerella, her is a link if you are interested http://bakerella.blogspot.com

Letters to Santa

Mattie wrote her letter to Santa a week or so ago, she also included a letter from her brother since he is too little to write his own letter. Here is the letter:
So basically Mattie wants an American Girl Doll and she thinks Jake really wants American Girl Doll Boy stuff!!

Which one do you like?

Dave is seriously trying to get in good with Santa this year. He took Mattie and Jake to the Primary breakfast this morning, something I had NO interest in doing and I was able to finish wrapping presents, clean the house, make Dave's favorite cookies and play in Photoshop! I was playing with this picture from Temple Square at Thanksgiving

Jake

I really try not to brag about my little ones here, I don't want to make my sister Kelly gag or anything :) But anyways, for Jake's birthday, he got Hungry Hungry Hippos and he loves it! Well yesterday, I found him doing this, putting all of the Hippo Food into his toes! He was very proud, silly little boy, but here is a picture for you to help you visualize.

Our Trip

While we were in Utah, we went to Park City for a day, we walked up and down Main Street and then we went to the ski resort for some Ice Skating, Mattie loved it and well, Jake did not.






























We went to the dinosaur mussuem at Thanksgiving Point. Mattie and Jake really liked that.












Mattie and Jake got to play Rockband with their cousins.







We went to Temple Square and Jake was happy to be the resident dog and Mattie found a Nutcracker

Soccer Party

Yea!! Soccer Season is FINALLY over!! Soccer was actually over the day before we left for Utah for Thanksgiving, but I've been a bad blogger :( Mattie's soccer season ended with a big pizza party. I made a Soccer Star Bear Cake for the party. Here are some pictures of Mattie and Jake at the party, Jake was thrilled to have some cake!

Our Trip

We are back from our Thanksgiving Trip to Utah. It was lots of fun to our family in Utah, plus all the others who drove in for the Holiday. Here is one quick picture from our trip. Don't worry, there will be plenty more, I just wanted to post one right now. Our drive home took almost 12 hours, there was so serious traffic in Vegas and it never really seemed to go away :(
Well here is the one picture for right now. While we were in Utah, we went to Salt Lake to see the Temple Square Lighting

Fullerton Arboretum

Yesterday, Jake and I went to play at the Fullerton Arboretum. It was really nice and had free parking. Jake really liked playing with the ducks and find new stuff to climb on. They even have a children's garden. There are little tables just sized for Jake, with perfectly sized rocks for the chairs, Jake of course was very happy! Here are a few pictures from our morning outing.

Jake's School Pictures

Mattie got her school pictures taken, so of course, Jake was all for smiling. He actually was somewhat excited for the pictures, he picked out his sweater.

Mattie's School Pictures

I wasn't happy with Mattie's school pictures, so we went to the park yesterday to take some fall pictures.

Awards!

It was award day at Mattie's school, she didn't know it, but she was getting an award for dictation (she has 100% on dictation for the whole year). Jake and I were able to be there for her award. She was a little excited to have her name called.

Nap Time

Jake still takes naps most of the time. After lunch we go and lay down in his bed and read 3 or 4 stories. Then I tell him I have to go to the bathroom and I will be back in a minute to lay down next to him and then I leave and shut the door and don't come back in until it is time to wake him up. Today before I left him in his bed, he said "Wait I need that" and he was pointing to his Noah's ark toy. Most days, I don't care if he sleeps or not, just so that he is resting and away from me, so I gave him his toy. When I woke him, this is what I found. You could play 'I spy' with all the things he has with him, oh well.
