Well I thought maybe I should write something about Christmas before Valentine's came. I can't believe it's been almost two months since Christmas. We went down to Orem this year. I like the shopping down there so we didn't end up doing any shopping till we got there which made for a long week. Oh and of course traveling is hard on the kids. Tessa kinda stopped being a big girl that week so we had to buy some pull ups. She got over it somewhat quickly, so it wasn't too bad. Makayla on the other hand couldn't sleep because of how cold it was in the room we stayed in, and only now is she starting to sleep 12 hours again. Even with all the troubles Christmas was nice, we saw almost all of Hazen's family, only Sheryn and Spencer were missing (P.S. we missed you guys). Christmas eve Andrew, Naoko, Michael and Andrea were able to join us and we all stayed up late waiting for Santa. It was fun to see every one open gifts and to see what they got, but I think the funnest part for me is watching Tessa and now Makayla open their gifts. Tessa gets so excited when she gets something she knows she will have lots of fun playing with.
The day after Christmas we went to see some friends. It was so neat to see our friends kids with ours. I don't know about all of you, but when I was a kid I never thought about having kids, let alone having kids play with my childhood friends kids. Thanks Russ for hosting and sorry to those that couldn't make it we missed you.

The night we got back to Logan, I stayed up all night playing Santa for Tessa and Makayla. My first time being a Santa , so it didn't go as well as I imagined, but I do know what to do better next year. So I am excited not bummed.

The next day we when to my Mom's for Laura's (my sister's) birthday. It was lots of fun. She got the last two books in the Twilight saga so that worked out for me very nicely. You see I read the first 2 and seeing how Laura lives down here in Logan with me now I got to borrow the books from her twice.

On the 28th we had my Mom's Christmas. Lots and lots of nice thing were opened, but I think Hazen loved his gifted from my younger brother Larry the most out of us all and out of every thing. Larry generously gave Hazen Guitar hero III Legends of rock. Then Hazen had to start school.

Tessa, Makayla and I stay in Pocatello because My brother and his family came over from Maryland. It was so nice to visit with them, and to see how much Charlene has grown. She is only a little bigger then Makayla, but she acts like the one year old that she is, so if you can imagine Makayla walking and talking some what, you can imagine how cute she was to watch.
Makayla, Charlene
Charlene being to stinken cute!
I Loved these pictures so much I had to put them on display
Sorry once again on the lateness, and about the longness.
