More Christmas Pics!

Santa brought lots of fun surprises this year! Taegan couldn't really come up with many things to ask Santa for so she decided surprises are always nice!

Santa brought a doll house...


a stocking full of goodies and....


he even brought the Tinkerbell music box that she started asking for on Christmas Eve last year! This was her favorite gift of all even if it was a year late!

Christmas Day!

This year we spent Christmas day at home...just the 3 of us! It was nice just to be home and let Taegan enjoy all of her things. Taegan slept until 10:30 that morning. Chad and I were up and waiting for her to come downstairs....I wonder how many years sleeping in on Christmas morning will happen?!? When she finally got up we all had a good time opening gifts and seeing what Santa brought!

My sweet girl always has a smile in the morning...especially when there are presents!


Finally a talking Jesse!


A Princess game for our sweet princess!


Some sparkly new clothes!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Chad's family. We had a fun filled day of eating, relaxing and eating some more! The kids always enjoying being together and being able to play!

Merry Christmas!

We hope that your Christmas is filled with many sweet blessings and memories as you celebrate the birth of our Saviour! Wishing you and your family a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Much love from our family to yours!

We saw Santa!

Today at school Taegan and I had a Polar Express pajama day. We had so much fun reading the book, watching the movie and enjoying chocolate milk and cookies! We also had a very special visitor today....Santa himself came to visit us at First Kids! I wasn't sure if Taegan would go to him or not since she starting clinging to my leg as her turn came closer, but when it was her turn she crawled right up on his lap and started talking away! I was so proud of her!

So happy to see Santa!


Thinking hard about what she wants Santa to bring her!

Christmas...Part 1

Christmas has begun! Christmas is such a wonderful time of year when we get to spend time with family and Celebrate Our Saviors birth! We spent the weekend in Pasadena with my family celebrating the birth of my niece's sweet baby boy and having our Christmas with them. We had a such a good time visiting and watching the kids play. The kids had a great time tearing into their gifts and lots of excitement filled the air as they discovered what was in each package! We always enjoy our time with them and can't wait for our next visit!

I'm a Great Aunt!

We have been anxiously awaiting the birth of my precious great nephew for 9 months now. My sweet niece Sara delivered her sweet blessing at 12:09am on December 10th. Ayden Jacob weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is a very handsome, healthy little boy! Mommy and Daddy are doing great and adjusting to life with a newborn!

Becoming a Princess!

On our last day in Disneyworld we took Taegan to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. While at the Boutique a Fairy Godmother transformed our sweet angel into a
Princess! Taegan had the sweetest Fairy Godmother. Taegan sat so still and talked to her while she was having her hair and makeup done. I have to tell you that every morning when I brush Taegan's hair it is a battle with some whining and crying, but as you can guess while at the boutique she sat so still and never let out a peep....imagine that!

After finishing at the boutique we let her pick out a princess dress and shoes....she chose pink of course! The sass began to pour out of her as soon as the dress was on, but I have to say she looked precious!

Once she was all fancied up we headed to Cinderella's Castle for lunch. We met Cinderella along with Belle, Snow White, Jasmine and Princess Aurora. We enjoyed a great lunch in the castle with our sweet princess!
