Santa at Sub Zero.

For Pre-School Jeanne has Santa come so the children can tell him what they want for Christmas. This year we did something a little different and went to a new ice cream shop called Sub Zero. They freeze the ice cream right in front of you. After all the kids had there fill of ice cream Santa came. They all had so much fun and Elise got to tell Santa that she wanted a Pink baby.

Freezing the Ice Cream.

Elise's cousin and best friend (most of the time) Ryker (he's so cute!). Waiting for there Ice Cream.

Give me Ice Cream, Please!

Becka's still not so into the big red man. He's the best Santa thought. That is a real beard. He starts growing it in June to have it long enough.

My Little Snow Angel!

Elise and I had a very fun day in the snow. Elise made snow angels and I pulled her up and down the street on a sled. She has been wanting to get out and play since it snowed and we haven't had the time. It was a beautiful day and it was so nice to get out. I must say I'm enjoying the snow so much because I was worried that we would not have any for Christmas. Knock on wood, We still have a week, it could melt. Becka missed out because she was taking a nap. I really want to take Elise sledding on the next nice day!

New Camera!

I got my Christmas present early. It's a Nikon D60 camera. It Rocks! I just got it yesterday and I've taken a ton of pictures. I thought I would share my favorites.

Girls Weekend In Salt Lake City!

My friend Jody and I went down to Salt Lake last Saturday and Sunday to have a girls get getaway. We met up with Nicole and went to Twilight and out shopping. We all had such a blast!! In the picture we are holding up how many times we have been to the movie Twilight. If you can't tell Nicole is two, Jody is three, and I'm FOUR. I win! We can't wait for the next one to come out and we have already decided that Nicole is going to come to Idaho Falls and we are going to watch the first one right before we go to the next movie. This weekend was so much fun just to talk twilight with Nicole, and I think she liked it also because I don't think Randon really loves talking about Twilight. =) He,he. On Saturday when I saw Nicole I don't think we went more than ten minutes before we started talking about it and Dad, Jordan, and Randon soon all went to the store to get away from the loud high pitched giggles and talking. I think I'm going to do a girls getaway more often!

I thought it would be fun to put up the girls Santa pitchers from over the years. I love how it took Elise a few years until she would sit on his lap without crying and now it's going to be the same for Becka.



This is from a few weeks ago at The Festival of Trees.
AHHHH! Scary Santa! Becka's not going to be getting much from him this year!

2005. This is of Elise when she was about 7 months old at her first Festival of Trees.

I guess I didn't take any pictures of the girls with Santa in 2006.

2007. Elise and Becka at Grandma Thueson's house. Santa visits the pre-school every year before Christmas. Becka's first encounter with Santa. And this was the first time Elise sat on Santa's lap without crying!

Babysitting Baby Linden

Not so Lil' man! His hands are bigger than Becka's!
Elise took this picture, she did good job but my heads a little cut off.

Little sleeping angel!

Elise really enjoyed holding Linden. She held him for a long time and didn't want to give him up.
Grandpa stopped by to get some loves in. Classic Dad picture! I got to watch Baby Linden on Tuesday while Angela went to the temple. We had so much fun holding him and he fell asleep in my arms. He is such a good baby! I just wish I got to watch him longer!

We got Tim Tams today at Target!!! We are going to give them to our neighbors for Christmas with a note of how to do Tim Tam Slams. And keep a few for our self too.
