The always beautiful Mesa temple lights!

Two weeks ago Boyd, Jaime, Kason and Hadley came down for the weekend. We got to take the kids to the temple. When we were getting ready to go Shaylee asked "Where are we going?" I replied "To the temple." And Shaylee got all excited and said "We're getting married tonight!" So cute. I love it!
We had a great time. All four kids oohed and aahed the whole time and we went in the visitors center and watched a film on the Savior's birth! I love Christmas!

Santa at Bass Pro Shop

We got to go have lunch at Famous Dave's (so good) and go to Bass Pro Shop and see Santa! When we were getting ready to go see Santa I was putting Shaylee's shoes on her, some black slip ons. I wore some brown chukkas and then Savannah wore tennis shoes. Shaylee let Savannah know that her shoes just weren't as cool as hers and mommys cause they were just tennis shoes. That made Savannah mad and she told Shaylee "Santa's gonna bring you nothin' but a lump of coal this year 'cause you are so mean."
Shaylee was so excited to go see him she could hardly stand it. On the way she asked, "how long until Santa", about every two minutes.
So when we got up to Santa he was great. First he asked them if they had been good all year. Savannah said yes, then Shaylee said yes and Savannah blurts out
"Nu-huh, Shaylee made fun of my shoes!" Santa was trying not to laugh and then said "Well, that's not sooooo bad, your shoes look pretty spiffy to me."
He sang Rudolph with them and asked them what they wanted for Christmas. Savannah had spotted a pink fourwheeler in the store right before we got to him so that's what she requested. $1700, I sure was glad Santa told her he wasn't sure if that would fit in the sleigh. Shaylee requested a real Palomino horse. Santa was like "WOW! These girls don't mess around." He then gave them hugs and candy canes. What a cool Santa he was. I will definetly take them back there next year. Also, they had such cute decorations with coloring and games. And, they had real Reindeer,(caribou) I think in full mount. You can see one in the back of the picture.

Dancin in a Winter Wonderland

Savannah and Shaylee's Christmas dance recital was yesterday. They have been in a combo, (ballet,tap and jazz) class this fall. They danced in taps for the recital and they were both so cute. "Blue Christmas" by Elvis was the song. They are both getting so good at it and love to dance.
As you can see Shaylee was fast asleep in her car seat before we even made the 2 mile drive home. Lots and lots of fun!

Fun with Nani

Nani and Papa Hulsey came for the weekend to do a little shopping and go to the girls dance recital. We had lots of fun with them, and the girls were so sad to see them go. Nani picked these huge pine cones up before she came down here and then helped the girls decorate them like Christmas trees last night. They had a ball, painted them green, then put cotton balls, glitter and glued the little puffy balls on them. Savannah's is the red and blue and Shaylee's the pink and purple. Thanks Nani!

Now a Christmas game
