Mom's Jumpin' Jack Christmas

My mom held her annual Christmas party yesterday. We went to Jumpin' Jacks and then back to her house for some very delicious dinner, followed by a visit from Santa Claus! The kids had so much fun jumping and sliding. The pics didn't turn out all that well. I was using Chad's camera and I must have had it on a wrong setting because everything turned out really fuzzy. But here are some of the better ones.

Dagen

Logen kind of tumbled here!

Graden did not love the place for quite awhile, but after a bit we couldn't get him off the slides. And of course he was too little to go up them alone. So I would have to go on them also.

The whole family - although you can't see Dagen and Logen they are in the middle of Chad and I.

Graden and Santa - still doesn't like him!

Logen and Santa
And I have no idea why I don't have any pictures of Dagen sitting on Santa's lap. What a bad mom!

Anyway, thanks Mom for the great party. We all had a great time!

Skating Christmas Party

Every year for Christmas we go to Classic Skating with my dad's family. It has been a tradition since I can remember. the kids have so much fun skating or riding their scooters. We eat, sit on Santa's lap, eat, skate, and eat! This year, my cousin made some super cute hats for all the kids!

Dagen

Logen

Graden, he doesn't like Santa yet! Big, scary, hairy man!

The kids with Santa - they were singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Santa said our family needs singing lessons, what is he talking about we are pros!

Santa, Grandma, and Grandpa

Well if I don't happen to post before Christmas since it gets a bit chaotic, Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Hope everyone has a great holiday!

Christmas Movie

Today Dagen got to go on his first bus ride. He was so excited to go on a bus. They went to Provo to see the movie "Horton Hears a Who". I asked how his first bus ride was. And this is what he said "It was way too far to drive a little car so we had to take a big bus. But mom I got to sit right next to my best friend, Cameron, and he is so funny. He made me laugh the whole time." Sounds like they had a great time. And the best part is I didn't have to go. Therefore, I didn't have to chase two little rascals around the theater.

Isabel After Surgery

You can check Isabel's blog here for an update of her surgery. But Heather sent this picture last night. It was Isabel having dinner. She requested chicken nuggets, a slushie, and fruit loops. She seems to be doing very well and we are thinking of her and her family. Thanks for all the prayers from everyone.

Isabel's Surgery

Our niece, Isabel, will be going into surgery tomorrow. I am not going to go into details but you can read her blog here. Please keep Isabel and all the Corrales family in your prayers.

Random Stuff

So it has been awhile since I posted anything fun. So here is a few random pics from the past few weeks.

Graden smiling for the camera - this is when he first noticed I had it out.

This is when he was trying to get the camera from me.

Graden being really mad, that I won't give him the camera.

Mean mom!

Threw himself on the ground and is now pouting. I think I won the camera battle!



Dagen and Logen hiding behind the couch playing the Leapsters. I think they were hiding from the camera monster (Graden)!

Dagen putting chapstick on Logen.



The Christmas tree is up so where else is a better place to fall asleep than underneath it? Graden and Woody (in-laws puppy)

We went to the light parade on Friday but the pics didn't work very good. We didn't have a good spot but here is some hopefully they look alright!


The boys and I

Chad talking the phone the whole time! Boring!

Okay after looking at all of them they all looked like a big blur of lights. But this is the train that the boys really loved. Hope you can all make a train out of that?!?!
