This is what Christmas time means to me..

Lots of laughs with cousins..
Staying up all hours of the night with my sis to finish this 500 piece puzzle..

Uncle Trevor being the best Dada and Uncle in the world, taking the kids sledding!..




Watching lots of Christmas movies..


and sleeping through them..

Having a special sister come sign and read the book she just wrote "SNOW ANGELS" for all of the little ones in the family...
(I'd highly recommend this book, buy it for your kids or yourself)



Ham Loaf... YUM freaking yum!..


More, more and more sledding!...


Christmas Carols being sung by my Daddy-o While everyone else sings along and the little ones shake it..




Playing games at the Town Carnival..


Making one last wish to Santa Clause for that very special gift...



We hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! With lots of love from our home to yours! :)

A Special Video!

Someone special sent Koleman a video informing him that he had made Santa's nice list! I can't upload the video on my blog but the video had a few pictures of Koleman and new exactly what he had done this year and what he wanted for Christmas! Everytime Koleman would see the pictures of himself he would say "who is dat.. ME" He was SOO excited!! Koleman loves him some Santa Clause!

A Christmas"ee" filled Weekend!

This weekend was all about Christmas! On Thursday night we went to the temple to look at the lights! We thought to each other Koleman will just love this! HA wrong again.. seems like we have been doing this a lot lately! (Thinking our child will like something only to find that he doesn't or he does like it just not in the way we want him to like it) Koleman thought he should ride the horsey so he crawled right underneath the rope and helped himself to a ride! :) O joy! We ended up only staying a brief moment at the temple!




Friday was our ward Christmas party! It was western theme so of course we had the attire! Koleman is the only one who dressed up for the occasion though, which really isn't dressing up for him since he wears his "western attire" almost every day!


Koleman LOVED Santa! He thought he was the coolest thing in the whole entire world! I was shocked! We had taken him to the dickens fest to see santa a couple weeks ago and he did not like the ole man! I think he thought he was a stuffed animal because when we were walking up to him, he was looking away and as soon as we got close Santa turned and looked at Koleman and said "hello little boy" and Kolmean FREAKED! haha He jumped, his eyes got HUGE then he froze! He cried the whole time he was on his lap! Of course I didn't get pics, wasn't gonna pay 20 bucks for that! So on Friday when Santa came in I took Koleman up just to see him not thinking he would want anything to do with him! Well he wouldn't leave Santa's side for long enough to go stand in line! So luckily we kind of have an in with Santa and he let Koleman but the line! Koleman walked right up to him with a huge smile, and hopped up on his lap! We said Koleman tell him what you want and he said "a Tracsher" :) I think he would've stayed on his lap for hours if he could've!
 I may or may not have ran into Santa on Sunday, yes all you kid readers Santa does attend church with me! :) anyways.. he told me "I know my kids, trust me I seen like 500 just last night and that little Koleman is the cutest little boy in the world!" He said he has never had a kid his age act like that with him before!




Saturday night we went out to Tuachan to Maci's Christmas show!! Love this show!! This year Maci was in even more of it and had her own little song that she did, I want to be Annie for Christmas! She did an AMAZING job! I may or may not have gotten a little emotional while she was singing, I was such a proud aunt!
It was so cute as soon as she got on stage and started talking Koleman knew right who she was and was SOO excited to see Maci! They do a Santa's workshop act at the very begginning. That is when Maci had her solo and Santa comes! Koleman was in Heaven! He loved seeing Maci and Santa! He was a little disappointed when scenes from the nutcracker were on next. Don't worry he vocalized his frustration when it was SILENT and said "aci, ANTA where are you?" It was SO cute! haha THEN at the very end of the show they sing "the prayer"  once again quiet all but the 2 people singing, like such a great moment, but don't worry, Koleman thought he needed to sing too and joined right on in with them singing "TONIGHT, TONIGHT la la la TONIGHT" at the TOP of his lungs! I was SO embarrased and kept trying to cover his mouth but that only made things worse and he got louder, and we were stuck in there with no way to get out but to climb over tons of people or over the seats in front of us! Luckily everyone was super friendly instead of scolding us they told us what a cute little boy we had! One lady told us she thought that Koleman was going to be the next soloist in the show! haha  I just love friendly people!

Before the show we walked around for a bit and some nice guy took our pic in front of this huge tree, I love it!



 




Dead tired after his huge performance and a fun filled weekend!! :)

The "REAL" Haircut! :(

We did it.. Koleman's cute little locks are all gone! :( A friend of mine had a little boy about Koleman's age, and they had the exact same hair. Well she recently cut his hair, it looked SO cute and she encouraged me to do it! I had been going back and forth for months on whether or not to cut his hair! So on a whim I did it!
I literally thought I was going to throw up before I did it! I was SO nervous and sad! I know i'm nuts it's just hair it'll grow back but it's my babies hair, he grew that hair from scratch! :( Ok now I'm making my self sad again!...

Anyhoo.. We cut it! He loved the clippers but absolutely hated the scissor part!

Before the cut! For real look at my hands I thought I was going to have a heart attack!


It made it so much easier when he was smiling!...





Michele and Nicole came for moral support! So Michele showed him the hair and he said "ooo Scary, Scary" haha


These pictures should pretty much sum up how he felt about the scissors!



No worries I saved some of the precious locks! :(


My two handsome boys!


Was this a good idea or a bad idea!?!
