:Christmas Fun:

Where has Decemeber gone? It was a fast month with all the parties and shopping and my new job. Kyson loved Santa this year, he caught onto the whole sit on Santa's lap with a smile you'll get a present thing. He would sing "Santa Claus is comin' to town" 3 or more times a day. Taige on the other hand loved all the events and the ruckus but not so much Santa. She would try to smile sitting on Santa's lap but, she was terrified! Here comes Santa Claus, I think I was more excited then Kyson was Taige wouldn't let go of Tasha to sit on Santa's lap Finally with some convincing... Family picture with Santa, don't worry Kyson wasn't about to up-chuck, not quite sure what he was doing! After Santa leaves we always do a sleigh ride... Which Kyson loved watching the horses run We did white elephants- Doug got these nice soft "PADDED" slippers he was so imbressed he wouldn't even hold them, so Nicole did the honors for him. We went to the Ogden Christmas Village for FHE one night, the kids really enjoyed peeking in the windows During the Holiday Maddness I had so many vinyl orders my mom and dad came up to help me get caught up, I think I would have been stuck behind without their help! Thanks again mom and dad I love you! Christmas Eve Morning Nate's parents cook us breakfast and the kids open their cousins gifts to eachother...Kyson getting ready to open his present from Talon Taige's present from Ashley All the Christensen grandkids (minus Talon)with Grandma and Grandpa and the new Gum ball machine Christmas Eve we always go to my parents, my mom has a ton of different games prepared with candy, cereal, more candy, and my grandpa wanted to make it alittle more interesting this year by throwing in $200.00. Which by the way Nate won one of the $100.00 Way to go BABE! This is what we gave my parents for Christmas for Bear Lake. Nate made them and I think he did a pretty good job for his first time. Christmas morning, my parents came to see if Santa came by waking us all up at 7:45am, kyson was so excited and Taige ran to her tutu(thanks Kalli) and put it on. Kyson opening his Geo Trax plane Taige loved her singing Barbie Christmas was a blast this year.
Nate and I also went up skiing with Kirk, Jamie and Jaden and then my uncle and his 3kids. Jaden and I Wow i'm really short

Jamie and Jaden

I took a pretty good crash, I wasn't paying attention and Jamie yelled something to me so I went to turn around not thinking I had skiis on, so they got all twisted and they took me down. I had a nice bruise on my wrist the next morning.

For New Year's we went to Bear Lake, Nate took the kids snowmobling It was Taige's first time riding on one and she loved it. She fell asleep I guess and Bo and Cami had to squeeze her in between them to hold on to her, they came back soakin wet cause it had snowed the whole time on them, but it didn't seem to bother either of them. Thanks for taking them babe! The next day Kyson wanted to go on another ride so Nate did a little ride for both of them and it's the only picture I have of them taking a ride. I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas! Sorry for the very long post!
