Christmas Morning

Christmas this year was spent in Tremonton with Shelby's family. We had so much fun. Here is Wyatt showing off his pirate dress- up gear.
Livvy loved her water baby. It really does feel real.


However, her favorite thing that Santa brought her was her dress-up trunk. It came complete with three dresses and I added shoes, crowns, and jewelry to the mix. She would put it on every morning and only take it off for naps and then back on it would go!

She even forced her daddy to dress up like a princess AND her Uncle Steven. She even painted Steven's fingernails- this is a small miracle if you know these big tough guys. Little Livvy can make the men in her life do whatever she wants.
Wyatt was so thrilled to get the tool box and Nerf gun that he asked Santa for. Grandma Wendy also gave him a chainsaw- so he's set for helping his Dad. Don't you just love the goggles that came with the tool set- Safety first :)

A few hours after all of these pictures were taken and the kids were nestled back in their beds for a nap, the power went off. We had been dumped on by the snow on Christmas Day and it knocked the power off for most of the day and early evening. We had ham and potatoes all prepared to go into the oven and WHAM- no power! So Grandpa Jon browned some hamburger in the trailer and we 4-wheel-drived it a few miles up the road to Aunt Holly's house for tacos and games in the dark. The power did come back on as soon as we were finished eating- OF COURSE! But it sure made for a fun and memorable- Old Fashioned Christmas. We stayed in UT for the rest of the week. It was so fun to see the Beck Family at the Christmas Party- Here my cuzs that are all right close to my age are rocking out to Rock Band. I'd never played before, but now these crazy girls have got me hooked. Beck Family Girl Band- goin on tour Summer 2009! I loved seeing all of my friends and family from Tremonton. We missed you all so much and it was great to spend time with you again. We also got to see Justin and Amy Nessen who were in town for the holidays from Texas- we went on an anniversary date to the Mexican restaurant with them. We were all married a week apart back when Shelby and Justin were roommates and Amy and I were roommies as well. Good old days!
