Christmas Eve



RJ wants his own computer. Have you ever heard of a three year old asking for his very own computer? Well, now you have. We told him that he was going to have to earn that computer since it was such a big gift. He has been working on this computer chart since the summer. At first it he would get a star for using the potty, then when he was all potty trained we used the chart as a way of enticing him to stay in bed all night long. He also got stars for good behavior. We didn't think he was going to make it in time for Santa to come. But he surprised us and stayed in his bed all night long Sunday night which gave him 5 stars (he only had 4 to go). He was so excited and proud that he got his chart done before Christmas. He wanted Santa to bring him the computer, knowing that his parents had no money.
































Learning how to make scrambled eggs.















RJ went around the house pretending to be a fire fighter. I guess the whole house was on fire because he had to spray everything. Even after we asked him repeatedly not to get the house all wet.



















Dear Santa, Please Define Good!
We had a heck of a day with RJ on Christmas Eve. I was so tempted not to allow Santa to come that night. But by evening he did seem to get better.
















It snowed all day on Christmas Eve. We had a little snow before but not a lot. We have tons now! Thank goodness for snow blowers.















The present had been piling up by the back door all month. I couldn't put them under the tree or else Savannah and Sally would have themselves an early Christmas.


















So, the night before Christmas the kids put all the presents under the tree.






















Wow, look at all the gifts already. Grandma and Grandpa sure love their Grandkids.













When I was young my mom bought us a new ornament every year. I continued the tradition and add on to it. Jared wanted them to open a present on Christmas eve so now every Christmas Eve they will get to open there new ornaments and hang them on the tree.




















RJ was so excited about his ornament.




















He got Lighting McQueen and Sally and instead of hanging them on the tree He had to take him to his room and play with them with his other cars.

Good Night Sally



Every night Savannah has to give every one a hug before bed. She can't miss Sally. Some times Sally gets the first hug. She loves that dog.

Sally is pretty good about taking the hugs too. She is a good pup.

Candy NeckLaces







RJ and Savannah got candy necklaces today from their nursery teachers. RJ is showing Savannah that you can actually eat the necklace. She thought that was pretty neat.








Savannah's Christmas Dress


Grandma Bartley bought Savannah her Christmas dress. She looks pretty cute, don't you think. I tried to take pictures of her and she kept wanting to pose laying down. It took me awhile to finally get her to stand up for a quick photo.

I finished





I finally finished my very first quilt. A lady in our new ward sews for a living and she taught me how to sew. I went to her house a couple of hours once a week almost all summer. Things got busy once fall hit but I finally managed to find some time to finish the quilt. I made it for Savannah and will wrap it up for her for Christmas.
