Christmas 2010

My camera makes me made. I need to just use my big one. The kids walking down the hall to see if santa came to visit.

I think this kid was more excited about his stocking full of treats then anyother present.

We had such a fun Christmas this year. Mylee had just gotten out of the hospital the day before, christmas eve, so she was completely worn out. She was alittle whinny but so excited for santa. Derek didn't know what to think. He loved it! This was a crazy and hard Christmas. We had a miscarrage on Christmas eve and Mylee got admitted to the hospital on the 23rd for what they thought was dehydration from the flu but ended up finding out a few weeks later that it was Giarrdia. WOW is all I can say! One of the most exhausting times I have ever had and little did I know it wasn't all over! We had lots of fun being together as a family and being able to be home for Christmas and not still in the hospital with My. We enjoyed christmas eve down at my mom and dad's and went christmas day to Layne's side. Fun and busy!

Christmas eve '10...my side

Mylee spreading reindeer food. Making sure santa will find us.

Most of the grandkids on my parents side. Getting tons!

My mom made all the older girls an apron to cook with this year. My got one for her birthday and LOVEs it!

So excited for their gifts!

This is our friend Gary!!! He comes every year to my parents and wants his gift. He knows that he will usually have a few each year and he is so excited to get them. We love christmas. Each year we switch years of going to christmas eve and day to both of our sides. It is always so much fun. Good food and lots of fun for the kids.

Christmas eve slippers

This year, since we went to my parents for Christmas eve, I decided to get the kids slippers for Christmas eve. My parents always do pajamas so we went with these. Derek LOVED his. My, not so much. She is so dang picky at how things fit her. Worth a shot anyways....

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas....

We decided to take a trip to temple square and see the lights. We didn't realize that the rest of the state would be there for the David Archeleta show but it ended up being really fun. I love bundling the kids up and going up there. Pretty amazing to see! We always find somewhere to buy hot chocolate and enjoy the scenery.

fun in the snow

Derek could hardly walk. My was being so cute trying to help him but he was just getting SO mad. I couldn't stop laughing!

This was the beginning of My with giarrdia. She has just started throwing up and diarrhea. Today was one of her good days. Longer post on that coming up.

family gift for mylee's birthday

Happy birthday My! We came home from celebrating and she was able to open her present from us. She got a roller coaster for her polly pockets this year. She loved it.

my's 4yr friend party

I decided to let them all lay on the table and dig into the cake. they thought it was pretty cool.

My blowing out her candles after they all sang to her.

She was so excited to open presents this year! She had a really fun party.

This year Mylee was so excited to have a friends party! We decorated crowns and painted window things. They all dressed up as princesses and had so much fun. We turned on princess music and they all danced then they got their toenails painted. It wore me out but was so fun for her!

Mymy's 4th bday!

Grandma Harris always gives them a big bag full of goodies. My had lots of fun going through it.

Grandma Oyler made her this apron! She knows how much Mylee loves to cook! My was so excited for this! She gave her some cookie mixes too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYLEE! 4yrs old!!! I really can't believe she is 4! She wanted a tangled cake so this is what she got. I struggled making this cake! She loved it though so who cares. This was her party with her grandparents. I love having them over and cooking dinner for them. We made Salmon, broccoli and potatoes. It was a fun birthday.

1st trip to see santa

This year we went down to the riverwoods and they had santa and carage rides. We went to dinner with Laynes brothers and then went and saw santa and had a carage ride then hot chocolate! Holy crap, was it cold! We froze our bums off but it was so much fun. Mylee was just starting her sickness and it makes me so sad seeing her sick in these pictures and how long it went on for! Glad it was something that could get treated so quickly once they finally diagnosed her!
