MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

We just wanted to say Merry Christmas and that we love you all and are so very grateful for our families and friends. You all mean so much to us! We are grateful for this special time of year where we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and what it really means to give and to receive. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Love, Steve, Heather, Alex and Emma

All of us!

Just cute pics of us with the kids! Steve and I are really tired but I have makeup to hide my bags, I think that Steve could use a touch up!

Christmas Kids!!

Yes! it was hard to get Emma to sit still! How cute are they in their Christmas Jammies!!

Did someone say snow!?

We got about a foot of snow out here which is very uncommon and apparently out here if they say snow you go and wipe out the local Walmart. It snowed Saturday and they closed school on Monday and Tuesday!! Such wimps!!

Grandpa Joe!!!!

Is this Alex or Grandpa Joe, who can tell?! But I'm sure he could tell us what Uncle Sonny would say!

Hair oh hair!

I think Steve looks scary here!

This is me seriously contemplating whether or not I should wax my upper lip or cut my hair into a mullet and really embrace Delaware!

Puberty's hittin' early!

Just more fun with our 75 cent side burns!

Alex's Piece!

This is Alex's part in his winter program. You can't really hear what he is saying but he's cute!

Alex's winter program!

Here is Alex's class singing "Chanukah, Oh, Chanukah" Just a little clip of it. Sorry our camera doesn't do really well so far away. Still cute though!

Emma and her head!

I have been trying to get a better video of Emma rubbing her head on her high chair or in the bathtub but this is as good as I can get for now.

Alex's side burns!

Alex and I found some side burns in a quarter machine at the grocery store, so Alex put them on and when Steve came home I told him that I thought Alex was going through puberty a bit early! He looked at me funny and then Alex came around the corner! It was pretty funny!

Emma being cute!

I am trying to get Emma on video doing this thing with her head when she is in her high chair and the bathtub. She rubs the back of her head against the back of her high chair and sometimes she gets pretty wild but here is just a little, if anything she is just cute eatin' her nana's!

Ward Party!

Here is Steve playing "I'll be home for Christmas" at our ward party! He did a great job!!

Alex entertaining Emma!

I caught Alex by surprise here, he really cracks Emma up with his silly acts! She loves them! it is so sweet to watch them. I think for him she is like a captive audience!

Christmassy stuff!!!

Here is Alex and Emma with Santa and the tree! Emma wouldn't go to Santa by herself but she would go if her big brother went with her!! So cute! She sure loves him!

Nanooke and Emma!

So Nanooke kept stealing Emma's toys away from her and then she would cry so I taught Nanooke how to read so that she could read to Emma and they could share the toys! Sharing is good!

Kid stew!

we figured we had better see if the kids fit in the big pot, just in case! Come my pretties!!

Junk in the trunk!!

Alex put bebe down the back of his pajamas to give himself a big ole' ghetto booty! I'm trying to get rid of mine! Anyone want it?

Playing together!

Alex was nice enough to let Emma chew on one of his trucks while he was playing castle, it was very cute! and don't worry I checked for loose wheels!

Oops! No clothes!

Emma had to wear Steve's hoodie until her clothes were done in the dryer, I guess I should step it up on the laundry front!

Emma eating pears

So you wouldn't think that pears taste sour but apparently Emma thinks differently! It was like we were feeding her lemons!

Alex in Steve's pants!

I don't know why, but Alex decided to wear Steve's pants, so now you can wonder why too.

Alex feeding Emma

Alex is doing so well being a helpful big brother!

Sweet Potatoes!

Emma does not like her first taste of sweet potatoes! Cute face!

Friday Night Fun!

So Alex got 15 glow in the dark bracelets for his prize for the fund raiser. So Friday night I taped them all to the ceiling fan and turned it on!! We had a good trip with that one, it was like being at a laser light show. Then I put them all over my body and went outside and danced, Alex thought this was hysterical but I'm pretty sure it freaked out the neighbors. We played glow in the dark ring toss and glow in the dark hide and seek. Fun, Fun, Fun!!

Naked Time!!!

All I can say is that Emma is her father's child! She loves being naked!!

Alex's story!

This is Alex's story he made up all by himself. He wrote it when him and Emma were laying on the floor in his room. I wrote what it says below in case you can't read his writing. The title is "Emma and her big brother" There was a Emma and her big brother. Her brother took her to the zoo. We did not need to pay so they ran inside. They ran so fast that they laughed. The End. He is so sweet to her!

who's who?

This is a picture of my brother Aaron and me when we were little but it could also double as a dead ringer of a picture of his son Carter and our Emma!
