Christmas/New Year

We had such a nice December, Christmas, and New Year's! Our December began with a few Christmas Demonstrations for Bay's gymnastics and dance classes. She LOVES these classes and has really made improvements in her gymnastics and dance skills. We had such a fun time watching Bay in her demonstrations. It cracks me up how much like me she is! During her gymnastics demonstration a boy was sitting by her and she kept scooting away from him as he'd get closer to her and if looks could kill this boy would be in trouble. Finally, her cute friend that's in this class with her agreed to switch places with her so she didn't have to sit by this boy. However, as they moved to different stations throughout the demonstration the boy would end up by her again and again and boy was she annoyed! Spencer and I couldn't help laughing as we watched this! Her dancing skills have really come a long way and Bay did such a good job performing her little dance routine to "Up on the House Top!" I will try to upload the video but I've been having problems getting videos to upload!
My mom came up for a visit and took Bay and I to the Nutcracker. This is something we've done every December for as long as I can remember and I'm so glad that Bay enjoys this as much we do!
Grandma spoils Bay! Here she is with the Nutcracker Grandma bought for her!
Here Bay and I are waiting for the ballet to start!
Before grandma went home we exchanged gifts with one another and above grandma is showing off her new watch!
Bay was on Cloud 9 with all of the new Barbie clothes she got!
SWBy loved his power tools and now helps Spence around the house! It's pretty cute!
For Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner! We got a Honeybaked Ham! It was great, we had leftover ham for days!
After our dinner we read the Christmas Story and the kids acted it out, sort of! We couldn't keep Joseph out of the manger and we couldn't get him to dress up! I think this was my favorite part of Christmas! I loved watching my kids as we read the Christmas Story. We have video that I've tried to upload 2 or 3 times with no success. I will try again!
The kids got to open their new pajamas from Aunt Lan! She used fabric that Spencer's mom had and it brought back some memories for Spencer. We love getting PJ's from Aunt Lan!
Maddy got a Munchichi from Santa and I can't help but laugh at the resemblance between Maddy and her Munchichi! Maddy our little Munchichi!
Spencer and I also got our kids pj's for Christmas and here they are in their Christmas pj's!
Bay the best big sister EVER!
For New Year's we went to St. George to visit my Aunt Allie and Grandma! We had such a nice visit with them and look forward to seeing them again! They are so cute with my kids and my kids absolutely loved being there and can't wait to see them all again! SWBy was going strong on New Year's Eve and almost made it to midnight but at 11:50 this is what he looked like!
Bay decided to call it a night quite a bit earlier than SWBy!
Here is my cute Grandma and my cute kids!
