I love this time of the year!!!

This time of year is so much fun!! We have stayed busy, shopping, going to partys etc.... I can't wait for Santa to come and see my kids faces when they open the presents that he brought!!! I have also loved teaching Parker the Story of baby Jesus. He is always telling me that Jesus birthday in on Christmas. He is also always saying how much he loves Jesus. In fact the other day in the car he was naming everyone who loved Jesus. It was so cute!!! I am happy that he understands the true meaning of Christmas.

Parker also wrote a letter to Santa telling him what he would like for Christmas, and to his surprise yesterday he got a letter in the mail back from Santa. He thought that was cool and is excited for him to bring presents.

We love this time of year at our home and we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!! Hope we all take time to remeber the birth of our Savior and how much he loves each and everyone of us!!!! Enjoy some Holiday Pictures.

Also the other night we delivered neighbor gifts and Parker threw a fit that he couldn't go to every house. Here are little videos of my little boys break down wanting only his Grandma's and nothing else. I couldn't stop laughing.

My kids are getting so big!!!!

First of all My little girl is now sitting. I can't believe that she is already 7 months old. She has been such a blessing in our lives. She is so happy and she always greets you with a big smile!!! She gets the biggest smile when her big brother walks into the room. She loves him and boy does he love her. Here are a few pictures of my little princess.

Now on to my big boy. Parker is now potty trained!!! I have been waiting for this day!!! He has done a really good job and he loves wearing big boy underwear. In fact every time we put them on he has to tell me a joke. The joke goes like this.

Parker: Knock Knock

Me: Who's there?

Parker: Tom Sawyer

Me: Tom Sawyer who

Parker: Tom saw your underpants!!!

Then he laughs and laughs. It is pretty funny. I am so proud of him, He only has accidents every 4 or 5 days now and it is usually just a little one. He loves to tell everyone he goes on the big boy potty. Thanks to my Mother in law. She made him a chart with Stickers and got prizes to go with it, every 10 times he goes potty he gets a prize to unwrap. He thinks that is so cool!!! Here is my big boy on the potty. (I hope nobody is offended by him on the potty).

DISNEYLAND!!!!

We took Parker to Disneyland for his 3rd birthday. We went with Bryan's Mom, Dad, Sisters Sara and Elisha and Grandma Joyce. We left on Thursday November 20th and stayed until November 24th. The first day at Disneyland wasn't the funnest. Parker had the flu and was throwing up. He mostly slept in the stroller all day. I was really bummed and hoping that it was only a 24 hour thing. Well it turned out it was and he was ready to roll the next day. He loved every ride, but his 2 favorites seemed to be Pirates and the roller coasters (one in toon town and the Matterhorn). He loves to sing the pirates song and he talks non stop about the parades, rides and Santa's Reindeer. The day we got to Disneyland was the first day of Christmas . It was so fun. It got me in the Christmas spirit.

Can I tell you how much I love Disneyland and I wish we could get there more often. It was nice being with family. Parker was such a good boy, he never complained or whined he was all smiles. I am so glad that we could make his birthday such a special one. It was an awesome trip and one I think he will remember for a long time. He also loved getting his pictures with the Characters. They would always laugh at him because as soon as he got up to them he would turn around and say cheese until I would snap the picture. If you look carefully at the pictures you can see he is saying cheese. He is such a good boy and I am so happy that we got to take him to Disneyland!!!

Don't worry Maelie loved it too. She was also very good and loved to go on the rides. The first night and day were not the best for Maelie either, but after that she was the Best baby. Thanks to everyone who went and helped out with the kiddies and making this a very special experience for them!!! Enjoy some pictures.
