Twins and Christmas festivities!

Last Friday Tasha and Roger had their babies!!  We are so excited for them and they are so cute and perfect!  Alyssa is already such a good big sister to Kaylee and Kyle:)  Jade and I went to visit them Friday morning.

 I'm so proud of Tasha, Roger, and the twins!  They are all doing great.


Friday night Brent and Jenni hosted our annual Christmas party and it was such a blast!  We ate some great food, did a gift exchange and played games.  Oh and we wore pajamas!

Look at these adorable kids!!  Surprisingly we got some good pics!  The crazed noises all the parents were making in the background to get them to smile were totally worth it:)

 Jade got a little princess Sofia from Swayzie in the kid gift exchange

 The adult gift exchange was great as well haha with some very hilarious gifts!  Like 12 boxes of crackers oh and we came home with "Poopouri"  which is actually pretty awesome and it totally works haha!

 And we played the FUNNIEST game!  Reverse charades!  So instead of one person acting for the team to guess, the whole team acts for one person to guess.  It was the best...hence all these crazy, blurry pictures!

Such a great Christmas party with our friends!

On Sunday afternoon we all went up to see the twins and we brought Alyssa home with us for the night.

 They had fun playing together on Monday and they were obviously very zoned into Peter Pan!

 That night we did our own little Christmas with Jade since we were heading to Oak City the next day.  She was so fun this year and really started to like the "presents" concept!  It's still a big guessing game with her as to whether she will like a present or not but for the most part it was a success!

 On Christmas Eve while dad was at work Jade was being a little too quiet in the pantry and I went in to find this!  By the look on her face, baking soda doesn't taste all that good.

 When Tom got home we headed down to Delta for the Styler Family party!  I absolutely love this tradition- Food, family, the Nativity scene, a gift exchange and games.

Afterwards we headed up to Michelle's for Christmas Eve!  It was quite the party night!  Jade had a blast playing with "Grandma and Barry" (Larry), "Kimi and Jon" and "Dani", Darren and Casper and she entertained us with many repetitions of "Jingle Bells" and "Twinkle, Twinkle"

 Christmas Morning!!!  To say we all had an amazing Christmas would be a serious understatement!  We were very spoiled:)  We are so blessed to have such wonderful families around that we can spend the holidays with.

 Jade was such a trooper with all the traveling and back and forth!  She was just chilling in the backseat excited to go see "Gammy and Gampy" next

She loved helping Gammy clean the counter...

 And cook!

 Then we headed back up to Oak City and John's fam had just arrived.

 We also got to Skype with Sadie from her mission!  It was great to see/talk with her and she is doing great!  She just hit her halfway mark!  Crazy!

 We ended Christmas night at "Grandpa's"

 We had a perfect Christmas getaway!  But of course it's always good to be home.  And Tom's new favorite thing is that Jade asks to "Cuddle and play Marlio" (mario)  Oh geez!

Some December stuff

This is going to be pretty random:)  We've had a lot of fun the last few weeks and have been really busy!  And the excitement this month hasn't even begun!

This is our Salon Christmas party!  Betsy took us to California Pizza Kitchen!  Even though I'm only at the salon on Saturdays, I love getting to hang out with these amazing ladies and for the friendships I've made!  I'm very fortunate to work in a salon with minimal drama and we all get along.

 I've been trying to get creative with entertaining this little lady when it's super cold outside....

 She had to give all the plastic animals a hug (like 50 times)!  Love her!

 Tom got a Wii U for Christmas, and I caved and he has been playing it for a couple weeks.  Look at that focus!

 Jade definitely has our whole hearts!  She cracks us up daily with the things she says and does!  Our recent favorites are "Holy cow!" "Oh my heavens!" "Oh my goodness!" "Do you remember?"  Oh and the best (which we have on video and probably won't make sense reading it) was, out of nowhere, she puts her hand cupping her chin and does this little squat bounce while saying "Hmmmmmmmmm" (like she's thinking) and then jumps and yells "An idea!!"  We about died!  I don't know where she got it from but she loves doing that.

 On Monday Tom had the day off because it was the only day he could use up his vacation time and we got some Christmas shopping done and went swimming at the Provo Rec Center.  Man, once she found out we were going swimming she got sooo excited!  It is a way nice facility!  And we had a good time, but couldn't stay too long because the water wasn't quite warm enough :(

She has lately been the sweetest cuddler!  She loves to give/get hugs and kisses.  We have been teaching her how to smile and it's adorable!  Sometime's her smiles get a little crazy though haha

Brittany was sweet enough to watch Jade for me this week on Tues while I was at work and she sent me this cute picture of Jade!!  Look at those perfect pig tails!  She definitely tackled Jade's terrible cow licks and it was good motivation for me to start using some major hairspray and a curling iron!  I don't know why I haven't yet haha -I am a hairdresser after all, right?!  I guess in my mind she is still a baby where I should only use water etc...anyway I will try to be better to not let her crazy hair be too crazy anymore!

Last night we had my long, lost best friend from hair school and her family over for dinner and to cut her hair!  It was soo nice to catch up with them!  I wish we lived closer!  I love that she is one of those friend's that even if you haven't seen eachother in a year or two, that it feels like you've never been apart!  Love you Whitney!

 This is one of Jade's crazy smiles haha
