Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we headed to my parents house and enjoyed delicious food. We has a fancy dinner on our china. One of our favorite Christmas traditions. After dinner I read the kids Twas the Night Before Christmas and a special visitor knocked on the door and left gifts!

The girls got some really cute charm bracelets and the boys...

Got some pretty awesome harmonicas! My Grandpa Buchanan plays the harmonica and used to play High on the Mountain Top as a lullaby.  It was pretty noisy in the house for awhile. Easton was so funny he kept staring at Rowley wondering why his wasn't making any noise. 

Then we got ready for our nativity play. Easton was quite the active little sheep. The moment we put it on him he was crawling all over the place and didn't stop until we took it off. I think he liked it...

Chad played a cow and executed the part perfectly....

Brad jumped in as the donkey last minute and did a great job with Mary and Joseph...

And Joseph, the shepherds, and wise men were awesome...

All of the angels did an excellent job also....

Sadly I forgot to get a picture of Sophie and Lydia in their angel costumes. Lydia decided last minute that she didn't want to be in the play.

After we enjoyed some yummy cheesecake and the kids got into their jammies all ready for Christmas morning!

Easton is 8 Months Old

Easton is 8 months old today! He is getting so big and has learned some new things. While we were in Oklahoma he started to scrunch his nose and breath in and out really fast when he gets excited just like his big sister Sophie used to when she was little...

He also thoroughly enjoys food. Really any food he hasn't turned anything away yet...

He loves being able to crawl everywhere and pull himself up to things and is still just as happy as can be. He especially enjoys emptying shelves now. The Disney movie shelf is his all time favorite.

He has started to wave which is adorable but I haven't been able to catch it on camera yet. He only does it on his own terms.

 He also has discovered spitting. Chad was holding him on Sunday and teaching his lesson and Easton would randomly would look at him and blow raspberries in his face.

Happy 8 moths Easton Roc!!

Happy Birthday Lydia Bug!

Saturday was Lydia's Birthday! Our little bug is now 3 years old so crazy! We had a fun filled day. In the morning we went to our Ward Christmas party. We had a yummy breakfast and watched the nativity video. And even a special visitor came...

Sophie told him a different toy then the last Santa visit..not sure if she is trying to get more from him.....or maybe she has given up on the Ariel barbie from Santa's last reaction haha.

I barely got Lydia to stand in front of him.

They had some fun photo booths and props...

Then we headed home and got ready for Lydia's party. She wanted a Sofia the First Purple Princess Tea Party. She was planning on just wearing a Rapunzel dress since she didn't have a Sofia dress. But we had her open her present....

 And she got to be Sofia after all!!!

Everything had to be purple of course...Thank goodness for my Grandmother's purple tea set!

Chad was amazing and dressed up as Baileywick the castle steward and served the guests!! I think that made Lydia's whole day!

I asked Lydia if she wanted me to make purple cookies to eat at her tea party and she said "No I want fruit and Grandma Chocolate (nutella)" So they enjoyed nutella roses on their plates.

Baileywick referred to the girls as "Mam" but with an accent and they just thought it was so funny he was calling them mom. 

And Lydia very much enjoyed her purple chocolate cake. Her two favorite things in the world!

Grandma and Grandpa Clayton were able to come and fill in for some friends that were sick! Thank you! And they gave her a fun Rapunzel card that sang! She wasn't sure what to think of it though....but the next day she carried it everywhere.

And Makenzie brought her a totally cute fairy costume!!

And they decorated some princess fairy wands.

After we got ready to go see a live nativity play. We met Grandma and Grandpa Miller and Grandma and Grandpa Clayton there! They had some stable animals for the kids to pet....

The girl's favorite was definitely the cow.

Happy Birthday Lydia!!!
