Christmas 2012

Mallory and Jace had their school Christmas Program.  

December is always a busy, busy month for us.  We had so many school, work, ward, family and friend parties.  These pictures are very random and out of order but it gives a good summary of December.

Madelyn was super excited to meet Santa.  She was finally not scared of him.

I made cookies for a cookie exchange.  They turned out pretty cute!

Not too many years left before Jace will be too big to sit on Santa's lap. 

Jagger thought Santa was great!

This year our family and some of my sisters decided to do a Secret Santa.  We picked a single mom with 2 boys.  We got their sizes and bought clothes, shoes, socks, pajamas and anything else we could think of they might need.  The kids had so much fun with this and it was a great lesson to them about giving.  The night we out to deliver it, they all dressed up as ninjas.  They had so fun!  It was a cold, foggy night, so it was hard to find their house.  We made memories that night that we will never forget!

Our Christmas Dinner.  Jake makes the best crepes!

Ninja time!

Cutest Little Reindeer around!

Jagger didn't care what he got for Christmas.  He just wanted to play with paper and boxes. 

Madelyn got to put the star on the Christmas Tree this year!  I love our Christmas Tree! (and the big elf that puts it up for me)! 

Mallory got a guitar, rope, mittens and a ticket to Disneyland.

Madelyn got playdough, clothes and a ticket to DisneyLand.

Christmas Sunday 

Cute girls!  They look so much alike!  I really enjoy dressing my girls alike.  I figure it won't last too much longer, so I need to enjoy it while I can.

Jace loves his baby brother!

Jake and I do not have many pictures together.  This one isn't that great!

We got to go on a wagon ride through Jensen's Grove to see the live nativity scene. It was pretty cold that night, but a great experience.

My 3 cute helpers!

We have a tradition of going in the hot tub on Sunday.   

Mckenna was excited to get her American girl doll, clothes, and a ticket to DisneyLand.

Jake making his Christmas Breakfast. 

This is what Madelyn wanted for her Christmas Breakfast.

Jace pretty excited for Christmas morning.  He got a basketbal hoop, rope, clothes and a ticket to DisneyLand. 

Cute matching boys!

Christmas Night after Hot tub movie night!  Larkins gave us this cool popcorn popper.

McKenna Kindergarten Christmas Program.  She knew all the songs so good, and sang her heart out.

McKenna with Santa at her school.

Madelyn with Santa. She couldn't figure out why Santa looked different this time.  

We were excited that Jason, Gini and kids could come stay with us.  We had fun with them sledding, talking, eating, laughing and getting ear wax out of Jason's ears!

Jace stayed out sleeding for hours. 

Mallory had so fun sleeding.  It was cold but she stayed warm.

Jake and Eric ready to go out sledding. 

We went up to The Kay's  house to go sledding.  It was super cold, but the sledding hill was so fun. 



Jake took the kids sledding several times .  They could do it for hours. I'm always so nervous that someone was going to get ran over or hurt.

Jagger snuggled with Aunt Michelle. 



Mallory and Mckenna going down the giant sledding hill in Tetonia.

This year for our Baldwin Christmas Party.  Ashley and Amber were the chiefs.   They are so creative.  They made a journey to the nativity.  We rode a school bus to each of the family's houses in Blackfoot.  1st was our house.  We had a hot chocolate bar.  2nd-Nate and Meggan's house with some appetizers, 3rd-Poulters house with Christmas Dinner, 4th-Grandma and Grandpa's house with presents and desserts.  It was such a fun night. 

The Bus waiting for us!

McKenna the sweet angel.

Jace and Emma were Mary and Joseph.  

I got so sick the 1st part of December. I had fever and chills for several

days.  I was so sick!  Jake finally took me to the doctor where I passed out.  I got a shot and the next day I felt a lot better.  Jake said he knew I was really sick, because I missed my family's couple party night.
