Super Random!

So I wanted to post some pics I've taken on my phone. They are cute but super random!

Here are some of Mckenna and Callie playing.

Callie eating and enjoying herself in our bed at the hotel!

Mckenna started doing Callie's hair one night.  She loved it.  She had oodles of flowers in her hair!

Callie our little climber!

Mckenna, Callie, and I went and had lunch with my mom at work last week.  All Kenna wanted was this chocolate pie!

Family Home Evening fun!

Callie absolutely adores Hank!  She says Hi everytime she sees him and waves wildly.  She kisses him and hugs him.  It is so sweet!

Mckenna loves her princess dressups!

In December I got to go to Macie's class and help with a Christmas party  It was alot of fun.

My little girlies love it when Great Grandma is home!

**LASIX**

The moment Ty has been waiting for, for years!  It finally came!!!!  On the 9th we went to Davis Vision Center and he got LASIX done.  He was so excited and I think I was more nervous than him.  It seriously took about 5 minutes and he was done.  I was able to watch the whole thing and it was pretty cool.  I saw them cut the flap and lift it up. It was crazy!

His recovery was awesome and he never had any pain whatsoever. When he woke up the next morning he kept saying how crazy it was that he could see so clear.  At his checkup he was 20/15 in both eyes!  Its been alot of eye drops and crazy plastic eye pieces at night but I think it was totally worth it for him.  I am so glad that he was able to have it done.  Yay for being able to see!!!!!!

Christmas *2013*

Finally getting to Christmas!  This year we decided to get a real tree.  It wasn't the prettiest tree we've ever had but it sure smelled good!  Callie did better with it than I anticipated.  She pretty much left it alone except occasionally when she would pull off an ornament or two that was in her reach.

On Christmas eve we told the kids they couldn't wake up until 7am.  Well at about 6:55 all 3 kids are standing by my bed saying we've been waiting 15 minutes and its only a little early.  Can we please open our presents!  We were so proud of them for being so patient.

When we walked into the living room Santa had left 4 huge bean bag chairs.  All the kids ran to the ones that they wanted.  The kids got some great stuff.  Here are some highlights:

Macie got an Ipod, girl nerf gun, books, and a doll

Connor got an Ipod, nerf gun, legos, and play station games

Mckenna got a kitchen set, leap pad, and an Ariel doll

Callie got Violet the puppy, little people house, and a rocking horse

They got some fun stuff and were really happy.  Santa asked mom and dad to buy the kids Ipods.  Mom and dad made a deal and bought some older used ones that were still in excellent shape.  When the kids went to play them alot of the games already on them wouldn't work.  So we did some playing around and tried downloading new games and they wouldn't work.  So we had to explain to the kids that Santa asked us to do one thing and it didn't work out the way we planned.  So we ended up buy the kids tablets to make up for the not so great Ipods.  Lucky ducks!

Christmas this year was great.  We went to my moms for lunch and just hung our for a while with the family.  Here is a huge photo bomb!!!

ChRiStMaS eVe!!!

Christmas Eve was super fun this year like always.  Meadow ward always has their Christmas party that night.  Its been happening for 50+ years!  The Primary usually puts on a program and tonight was no different.  Connor was a wise man and he made an adorable one!  Macie was in the angel choir and she looked angelic!  

After the program is over everyone sings Christmas carols anticipating a visit from a special visitor!  And dear old Santa always comes through!  The kids are always super excited to sit on his lap and get that one last chance to tell him what they want.  Mckenna had talked about Santa for weeks but was a little unsure of him.  Callie wanted nothing to do with him as you can see in the pics.  

After the church party my siblings and their families always go up to my parents house.  We ate pizza.  Then the kids got to open up new pjs!  We all exchange gifts and just have a good time together!
