Just Comparing...
I was just comparing this picture taken on Christmas Eve 2007 to this past year, it's amazing how quickly everyone changes.
Christmas Eve 2010
12.24.2010
Christmas Eve is probably my favorite part about Christmas in our family. We all get together and attend a Christmas program, have a great dinner, read our annual story book, get Christmas jammies, and have all sorts of treats. It is always so fun to be all together, and I LOVE seeing all my nieces and nephews together and feeling their excitement for Christmas, it truly is so fun.
Christmas Eve was a little crazy this year, and we were running around getting things done until the very last second, but once they were done it was very nice to sit back and enjoy.
Hallie did not want to cooperate, so this is the best we got
Audrey taking her turn reading our new Christmas book.
Stacie and Taylor
Whitney and Audrey sang the cutest song about hot cocoa!
The passing out of the jammies
Happy Zack
Hallie giving Emi her gift from us
Hallie LOVES her Grandpa!
I made these cute dolls for the Hall girls, I wasn't sure they were going to get finished but they did just in time. :)

Such a great night, as always!

A Christmas Eve Movie
12.24.2010
Eric's students were so kind and generous and gave Eric movie tickets for the whole family for Christmas, so we decided to use them to see Tangled on Christmas Eve. Tangled is such a fabulous movie! We all LOVED it! Including Eric. :)
Waiting for the movie to start

Hallie got to give her ticket to the man at the door. She thought that was pretty great.
Waiting for the movie to start(and yes, Eric is wearing shorts on Christmas Eve, the crazy boy!)
All of us.
All of us.

Crayon?
12.22.2010
I think Hallie shoved all of her crayons from the entire house in her pocket...at least she was willing to share. :)

Dance
12.22.2010
These darling girls have been taking dance classes and invited us up to see their "work in progress" performance.
It was so fun to watch them dance! They know so much, and do such a great job!

Hallie wanted to be right out there with them. She kept saying "I go sit by Emi kay?", or "I can jump!", or "I go hold hands too." She hasn't stopped since then either. At least twice a day Hallie will ask me if she can go dance with Emi and Lizzie, or she will put on one of her princess dress-ups and tell me she is ready to go dance with them. So I think we may have a little dancer on our hands!
After it was over, Hallie just couldn't stand still, she wanted to dance, and run around. I think she ran a loop around the studio at least fifteen times.
So I stole a picture from Kelsie, of Hallie with Emi and Lizzie in their pretty dancing dresses. 
Thanks for inviting us! We all loved it!

Once There Was a Snowman
12.21.2010
We got a HUGE snowstorm! So big that some school districts even got a snow day. In all my years at school in Utah I never had a snow day. Which was fine, they take snow days out of Spring Break, so it was fine. But all day after this massive storm Hallie kept asking if she could go outside. Well, I am not such a huge fan of the snow. It is pretty to look at, from the inside of a warm place, and it is always nice to have a white Christmas, but that is my extent of liking the snow. So I kept telling her, "when Daddy gets home maybe he could take you outside and build a snowman," which satisfied her, but she kept reminding me of that. Well by the time Eric got home, and we got a few things done and helped my aunt shovel her driveway it was getting pretty dark, but Hallie was still convinced that she needed to build a snowman. So we got her all bundled up and went outside.
Here they are out in the freezing cold, in the dark!
I had no intentions of being out there much longer than to take a few pictures, but I was told I needed to help.
Hallie's hat is a bit too big and it kept sliding over her eyes. But here is the final product! A snowman just Hallie's size.
We all had a fun time, even though I wasn't sure that I would ever get warm again. :)
