Best christmas present ever

A year ago two weeks before christmas we found out we were expecting our next child  and a little over a year later he is here blessing our lives he is the calmest sweetest baby. he is always relaxed and helps balance out his  sisters  outgoing personality. each day he grows and becomes more like his father. i see so much in him and can't wait to see the kind of man he will become.  the love of a daughter and the love of a son is so different  but still so much the same. all i know is heavenly father blessed  us with this sweet spirit and he will continue to be one of our crown jewels.

End of the world party

years from now we can say we lived through y2k and the end of the world we knew the end wasnt coming  so evie and i decided to celebrate so we watched emperors new groove it was the closest  thing to  the mayans we could find.  so i made evia a mayan crown and balloons with the faces of the emperor  pacha, krunk and eyzma.evia loved it and it was a fun way to spend the end of mankind ! he he

Seeing santa

emersons and evias first real picture with santa at city creek . they had a system where you put your name down and come back in a half hour or so for your turn Brilliant times have changed since i saw santa where you waited for an hour and a half in the snow. so we went and walked around while we waited  for our turn. whe it came time for our turn at santas lantern evia was terrified and would not get close to santa for any reason she is squirming out of my reach in the photo and of course emerson is screaming his head off david and i felt so bad for santa. that we almost started to laugh. this will be a picture to remember.

Waiting to see santa!

this is a special out fit to me my grandma collected and kept things for many years and she passed away years ago but when emerson was born my aunt found this sweater and hat for emerson and i meant so much to me to have something i know she probably would have given me anyway. he looked so cute in it and he grew out of it so fast.
