Christmas 2012

We had yet another amazing Christmas. We got spoiled by both of our families. The kids are truly loved!! London got a cleaning cart, Doc Mcstuffins doll, barbies, books, jammies and a bunch of other things. Teagan got all the Imaginetix toys, a huge Zurg and Buzz, learning toys and a train table among other things. I was spoiled and got a Shellac nail kit, a facial cleanser, a shirt, scarf, a gift card for a baby diaper bag along with lots of other things. Derek got DVD's, a nice dress watch, hoodies, shoes and a bunch of other stuff. We love all of our family and this time of year brings us closer to them. We are so thankful to have the family and love that we have. We are thankful to have the means to provide a Christmas to our family. We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year.

Here is London playing with her cleaning cart. She filled the squirt bottle with water, sprayed the kitchen floor, scrubbed it and then wiped it up so we wouldnt trip. Her and Tegan did this for about an hour.

Teagan also dragged one of his Imaginetix toys all around the house trying to talk me into opening it. (mind you I had already opened, organized and cleaned his room. I was not about to open another toy.)

Londons dance recital

London had her Christmas dance recital. She did AMAZING!! She is one of the best ones in her group. She knows the steps and does them wonderfully. There was one time that she decided she wanted to stand out and do her own little dance but it was adorable!! She is so cute and such a great dancer. She is my little dancing queen. Santa was there to see all the kids when they got done dancing.

In this picture you can only see her blonde poof behind all the other girls.

Londons art for Daddy

London made this beautiful masterpeice for Daddy while he was at work.

Max and Ruby

Teagans new favorite show to watch is Max and Ruby. He laughs and gets so into it everytime. Even if he has seen the episode a million times. It is so cute how animated he gets watching it. He just lighes up and smiles every time.

Londons preschool Christmas program

Londons preschool had a Christmas program where the kids sang about 6 songs and then we all had cookies. It was so much fun. London kept whispering "I love you!" She is so dang cute. She did really good singing all the songs. She seemed a little shy which was so cute as well.

Wedding at Temple Square

The kids loved looking out the window at the Joseph Smith Memorial building after the luncheon for a cousins wedding. They also loved hanging out with Uncle Brent while dad went and got the car for us.

SNOW TIME

London and Teagan touching and playing with the snow. They love the snow!!

Daddy taught them how to make and throw a snowball. They kept throwing them at each other and daddy and the car.

Thanksgiving point lights

We decided to go get dinner and then drive through the lights at Thanksgiving point. It is a drive through light thing. It was pretty fun. The kids loved it.

Taylor Family Christmas Party

December 22nd we had our Taylor family Christmas party with the entire family. It is so fun to be able to see people we only see once a year. We had fun eating, socializing, trading gifts and seeing Santa visit.

Facebook post from Nanny Camille....

Good day today :) I just love how everyday when it's time to say goodbye it takes 12 kisses and hugs from each and ten minutes of "I love you. Drive safe. You come to my house tomorrow? Ok Bye. Wait! Camille?" Just so darling! Then I come home to find my bag stuffed full of pictures London drew. Today there was one for my mom, my dad, Emily, Jackson, Chad, and McKenna. Yep. Good day :)

Grandma Taylor always gives the kids an advent calendar with chocolate in it for the month of December. The kids love getting a peice of chocolate each night...

London: Hey Camille What do horses give us?
Me: Um?.... I don't know.
London: They give us CHOCOLATE milk! Silly Camille. Horses give us chocolate milk. Remember that

Superheros!

Holy Snow!!!

We had one snow storm so far but it sure packed a punch. We got at least a foot.

Thanksgiving fun

I had a cerclage done on November 21st, 2 days before Thanksgiving so on Wednesday Derek took me and the kids to my moms to stay because he had to work. We stayed at my moms through Thanksgiving. The cerclage went well except they said it was really hard to get in. I was in a lot of pain for a couple of days and still have painful days. The kids had a blast at my moms while i rested. They played with every toy in her house. They had a blast with all the cousins and the fun activities that they did.

Playing dress up with the horsey. She put jewlery on the handlebars and necklaces around the neck. It was so cute. She loves horses...where that came from who knows.

Cousins!

Grandpa and Teagan reading books

Who needs a check up. The kids played doctor for a good hour. They were so cute about it.

Once London was done putting jewlery on the horse, Teagan decided it was his turn.
