Christmas pictures before church???

The kids were so cute, I thought I should take a few snapshots before church because after church, we're all pretty destroyed. It was fun, but a lot of work. Let's just say, I left for church all sweaty!

Just look at all the kids facial expression...priceless.

Their personalities comes through...

 

 

 

Staring at something above my head...

I had a trackmaster train right above my head to get the kids expression and when I got them to look, I put the train down and it started chugging its way towards the Christmas tree...that is why they turned their heads.

 

 

 

 

Dear Santa

Dear Santa Clause,

My name is Jacob. I have been a really nice boy. For Christmas, I want

-Thomas & Friends, Blue Mountain Mystery Trackmaster (risky rail drop one)
-Angry Bird Space Game
-Angry bird piggy bank
-Airplane (to fly to California)
-Take me to Disneyland
-Animal on the cargo Thomas & Friends
-Snowman on the cargo Thomas & Friends
-Thomas snowplow
-Digger train set

I promise to be good.

(I absolutely love how when he asks for these things, he pretends to dial a phone call to Santa, uses his hand as a phone, talks to him and turns to tell me that Santa said yes to whatever he had asked for.) Love this age.

My little elves

These tights are the cutest I've ever seen! I love mudpie!!! I love it even more on my little Emma.

I am at a lost with her headband. Her hair is becoming more wild and on top of that, she's pulling her band off.

The phone helped her stay still.

Okay...look at my son's right hand. This has become his thing lately...to take off his sock(s) and put it on like an oven mitt. LOL

Cutie pie.

Had to do a close up with him rockin' the BYU sock on his hand.

And of course...Jake stopped me before putting the camera away. Today for some reason, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He was cranky all morning until daddy bought him a monster truck.

Sooooooooo...Jeremy had this awesome idea to let the kids play with the puzzles...yea...like ALL of them...like at the SAME time. Can you say puzzle pieces everywhere?? So before bedtime, we made a train of puzzle boards and played who can put one together the fastest. They did amazing!! The two kids put together 13 puzzle boards together and it only took no more than 15 minutes, but hey...they did it and the house was clean! Love my boys.

 

Emma was neglected while I tried gathering all the puzzle pieces that were spread throughout the house (ahem, thanks hun! hehehe). She kept crawling back and forth hoping that I'd pick her up.

Here, I finally got down on the ground to take her picture and of course...my little girl knew she had me still and then I picked her up and put her to bed.
