Such a Boy!

So the other night after dinner Brian gave each of the kids some animal cookies. A few minutes later I walked over to see if Carson was done and ready to get down. This is what I saw...

*Note that the poor animals have no heads left!*

I couldn't help but take a picture...the kid had distinctly bitten off all the animal's heads!!

And he was so proud of it too:

Valentine's Day

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day (aside from Abby's third ear infection of 2010.) Abby had a party at preschool on Thursday. They decorated kleenex boxes for their drop box and gave each other lots of treats and cute Valentines. Here are some pictures:

Abby with her cute box of valentiens. You can't see, but it's colored and stickered to the hilt!


I had to take a picture of her cute Valentine's hair too!!


On Sunday Brian ran to pick up the flowers he'd ordered on Friday (he forgot to get them on Saturday.) He got both Abby and I some Gerbera Dasies (my Favorite!!) Carson got a Cars themed bubble blower. And both kids got cards that make noises. We went to church and Abby took some valentines to her teachers and fellow Sunbeams. We had left overs for dinner; nothen' fancy, but sometimes that's better! Just before the kiddos went to bed we sat down and watched Up together. It was a great V-day! I'm so blessed to have such an amazing little family.

We did get a chance to eat out yesterday for lunch. This is where we went....YUMMY!!!

Randomness

So the kids' new obsession is to get dish towels out and pretend to be Flying Unicorns (the dish towels are their wings.) When the Unicorns get tired they use one wing as a pillow and the other as a blanket and lay on our kitchen floor. Ok truly this is an "Abby" game that Carson just thinks looks like fun so he shadows her. But it's really cute when they're both running around the house screaming and being silly. Here is a picture of them "sleeping"



The other day they were both sitting watching a movie together and I couldn't help but snap a quick picture of them. It's so much fun to watch them watching a move!



And just this last Saturday Grandma Patrice gave Abby a beautiful quilt that she's been working on for months now! In the quilting it says Abby's full name and that it was made by Grandma Patrice. Thanks again Patrice! She loves it and says so every night when she climbs under it!

Abby's Preschool

Last week Abby had school pictures. Here is her cute little class. Can you believe she is the tallest?!?! Haha..she's the same way in Sunbeams; it must be something in her DNA. :)

Abby's Work

Last week I was folding laundry and it has become Abby's obsession to help me with chores (not that I mind.) She has helped with the laundry before; turning in-side-out things right-side-in and sorting socks...but this time she actually folded some! Look how awesome she did!!

So Sweet

Brian and I had a much needed night out last weekend. We went to dinner and a movie (Sherlock Holmes...fantastic!!) We got home around 10:30 and our awesome sitter had both kids asleep! I couldn't resist taking pictures of them.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve we were lazy most of the day. That evening we headed to Heber for the annual Coleman festivities. The food was awesome (dutch oven--yummy) and the nativity was priceless. You never know what to expect with a Coleman nativity. This year one of the Wisemen gave baby Jesus a Dirt Devil. :) After the nativity we did a gift exchange where everyone brought a $10 gift that started with the letter "M." We did it in "White Elephant" style exchange. We headed back to Layton after that and the kiddos opened their jammies. Here are some pictures from the night:

Just opened jammies. I love Abby's face in this picture. She was telling me thanks for making the pj's; her face looks so sincere.


On Christmas morning Abby woke up at 7. She came into our bedroom after wandering into the kitchen. I'm sure glad Santa thought to cover her presents with a blanket. :) We went in and woke Carson up, then went out to open presents. The kids had a blast (and so did their parents!) At about 9:00 that morning Gaga and Papa (my mom and dad) came. We ate some yummy cinnamon rolls and exchanged gifts. After they left we got ready and headed up to Logan to celebrate with Brian's side of the family. Patrice made a delicious lunch. After lunch we opened gifts. With all the toys and cloths you would have thought there we 10 grandkids instead of 3. We played for a little longer then headed back home for a relaxing end to Christmas day. Here are some pictures from Christmas:
