Saint George Christmas trip

Ok so shorts post ever... how did I not take a million pictures?????

Well apparently we were way to busy having a great time with the fam :)

We arrived on Christmas evening and Crystal and Steve made an AWESOME dinner.  We opened presents and just had a really nice evening.  One night the guys went out.  One bight the girls went out.  We played at parks and an indoor pool/rec center (So fun) played games watched movies.  I got to see one of my favorite friends and hang out with my awesome family.  Thanks Crystal and Steve for having us we had a blast!!!

Christmas Morning 2013

Christmas morning we awoke to an awesome Lola hair day.

Presents from Santa! 

(yes, there is a permanent scowl on her  face... I thought kids were supposed to be happy...I told her that and she showed me otherwise.)

She did have fun opening the presents.

Until she would get frustrated and make dad help her.

Santa gave her big girl bed stuff for Christmas!! Yay she loved it!

 It was awesome we were all totally spoiled :)

Brutus loves his duck we gave him :)  And this is a picture of my tiffany lamp Danny and Lola gave me.  We seriously were so spoiled this year Thanks Everybody!

Pre Christmas 2013

We go to Library events ad classes every week, and they had one just for the Nutcracker it was awesome!

 They danced to the music and acted out the story.  We made crafts and ate treats it was a blast!

SNAAAAKE! Toddlers and Reptile class Dec 5 2013

 The second the first snake is revealed there is a stunned gasp and a blurry thrilled look of delight!

Lola of course has never seen a snake or lizard in real life but we have read and watched a lot of stuff about them.  This is her clapping with delight as the biggest snake "Shaggy" is revealed.

She was so excited it was hard to wait her turn to pet all the reptiles.

So fun

She even got a kiss from the littlest snake, so cute when she giggles over the snake.

making faces at herself

Cool "Sketon" of a crocodile one of the kids in class later dropped it and since then I have constantly been told "Oh No sketon!"  It was fine... but she really won't let it go.

This is a lizard named "Sausage" probably because it looked just like one with legs and a blue tongue.  We had so much fun and LOVE all the classes we go to with Miss Alison at the South Jordan library!!! Thanks for such a great time as usual!
