Merry Christmas!

Ice Skating with the Scouts

Wipe out! ... then it was thunbs up and "I am ok, Mom."

Cameron did well, but he liked it more when he was carried around the rink.

Great-Grandma's Visit

We celebrated Christmas with Great-Grandma Maki. The boys loved seeing her and they definitely kept her entertained.

Jaxson was full of kisses for Great-Grandma. Cameron plopped himself next to her and got her help with his seek and find book.

Breakfast with Santa

Cameron sat on Santa's lap long enough for mommy to get a picture. Jaxson was yet again terrified of the strange man with a huge white beard.

Landon made sure he took the time to tell Santa what he would like for Christmas.

The Primary children acted out the nativity at our Breakfast with Santa activity. Brayden was one of the three wisemen.

All Aboard the Polar Express!

Landon's class had a Polar Express activity for the holiday. They made candy trains. Mommy was the lucky one who made all of the Royal Frosting for the trains - what a job! Jaxson wanted to help his big brother with his train, that is ... he wanted to eat it!

Candy break! At random time during their construction, Landon's teacher would yell, "STOP - time for a candy break!" I caught Landon having a few extra candy breaks during his work.

His train is complete and we all helped one way or another.

The Reindeer are Sick!

For a school project, Landon had to think of another form of transportation for Santa to deliver all of his packages on Christmas because his reindeer are sick. Landon had the great idea of a hot air balloon. So, with Daddy's help, they created a good looking hot air balloon for Santa.

Labor and Delivery Christmas Party

My work Christmas party. It was a night out for Josh and I as we cruised the Newport Harbor with my co-workers and enjoyed dinner, dancing, and lots of laughter and fun.

Many of the boats going through the harbor were all festively decorated with lights. It was beautiful.
