A "Dear" in Headlights...

















Ava said all she wants for Christmas are her two front antlers. The teeth are a little more painful and can wait, I guess. (:

Our cousin party!!!























































It's funny how a visit from some family members can be JUST what you needed to find the Christmas spirit. I think the kids may have felt it even more than we did with how much playing they got to do. Our visit from the Mortazavi family and half of the Wilmsen clan (we love you, Lori and Matt!) was a wonderful Christmas blessing and we had a BLAST! It seemed like every kid had a partner- Kam and Mase ran and jumped and had a great time on the "mystery slide", Laney and Zoey played kitchen and LOVED all of their new Dora products, and Will and Ava created a great bond by drooling all over each other and making the other smile. It was so cute. But I enjoyed my sister time more than anything, especially that last lunch where none of us sat by our kids (hee hee) and we just talked. We missed you, Tina, Jana, Cari, and Lindsey! I had so much fun that I can't even imagine how crazy and fun it will be with ALL of the cousins in January!!! We love all of you and are excited for the crazy Yuma madness next month!

I should've threatened that Santa wouldn't come...

















Merry Christmas to everyone! Next year may we be blessed with two children who are willing to look at the camera and smile at the same time! (: Hee hee- the attempt was fun anyway and a lot of them turned out cute... Thanks Shen!
