Family Pics

 My wonderful neighbor Jen Romero took Christmas pics of our little family for our Christmas present. They turned out super cute. Here are some of them:

 Jess this is the picture I thought looked like Kylie.

 Jen's daughter wanted to be a part of the pics. She is the little girl I used to watch, so she really already is a part of our family.

Christmas in Missouri

We left for Missouri on December 18 and stayed until January 1. What a long, but great trip. We had a wonderful time being with the entire family, meeting Jamie's fiance, and eating way too much of Mom's candy.  My brother and his family met Maddilyn for the first time and we met his little guy, Hyrum, for

the first time. Maddilyn turned 1 on Christmas Day!!! We celebrated her Birthday with the Sheppards in Missouri on December 27 and we will be celebrating with the Kiesters tomorrow. I am pretty bummed because somehow I deleted all of her Missouri B-day pics and the pics of Christmas Day. So, until I find them here are some pictures that survived my camera mistakes:

The Polar Express and Christmas with the Kiesters

We left to Missouri for Christmas this year. So, we celebrated Christmas with the Kiesters a few weeks before we left. To really start out the Holidays, Jason's parents took the family to a "Polar Express" train ride. While on the trip we met Mrs. Clause and her hubby Santa, an elf, and silly carolers. It was so much fun. We visited the North Pole where we were treated to some milk and cookies. Maddi was extra spoiled. We gave her a little cookie and some Chocolate Milk. She enjoyed sipping it through a straw so much that after a little to much I switched the milk to water. It was a wonderful little trip. We ended the night at Jason's parent's home and had a delicious dinner and gave out our Christmas presents. It was an incredible day and a a fabulous way to start out the Holidays.

 Fun on the Train

 Maddilyn was terrified of Santa. She was so scared

he didn't even make it in the picture with her.

 Jingle Bells with the Carolers. The girls loved to play with the bells.
