What a great weekend!!! On Saturday we went to my in-laws and made family cookies. They are the best. You deep fry them. I know sounds gross but are they good. Hannah and Hayden helped Daddy make sugar cookies and they even put sprinkles on them. They were full on flour by the end. On Sunday we decorated gingerbread houses at my parents. The kids had so much fun. I don't know who had more candy, the kids or the houses. They all turned out great. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Santa

On Thursday, December 11th we took the girls to the Boise Towne Square Mall to see Santa. We were not sure how Hayden would act because this was the first time she had sat on his lap. She sat on his lap but would not smile for the picture. Hannah asked him for a doll house. We'll see what he brings.

This year Hannah is in pre-school and looooves it. She is always coming home to tell us what she has learned that day. Hannah went to pre-pre-school last year which was good for her. This year they took school pictures. They had then sit outside in the leaves. She is such a cute, sweet, adorable girl. Dad, Mom, and Hayden love you!!!

Cody's P.O.S.T Graduation

Since October Cody has been at the Idaho P.O.S.T Academy in Meridian. It was a loooooong 10 weeks. He was only about an hour away but he had to stay their during the week and was only able to see him on the weekends. On December 11th he finally graduated. We are so glad to have him home. Now we get to start a new chapter in our lives.

Taking the Oath.

We had to get a picture of the 4 of us after the graduation was over. The girls were hungry and didn't was to smile.

Hayden's 2nd Birthday

In November we had a birthday party for Hayden. My baby turned "2". She is growing up so fast. This year I wanted to make her a Mickey Mouse birthday cake. She loves Mickey & Minnie Mouse. I didn't know how it would look but I think I did very well for my first time.



Getting the cake ready to put on the table. Little Miss Hayden couldn't wait to see so she climbed up on the counter to take a peek.
