Well a few days ago.... we got Nik's birthday/Christmas present!! With the help of both our parents, Nik's grandma and us we got him a TV!! As you can see he is pretty excited about it and we have been watching lots of movies on it!
So for Christmas Eve this year we decided to start some traditions with our kids! I made a big dinner with mashed potatos, gravy, my very first ham (which turned out so yummy), cantaloupe (yes in Arizona you can still buy cantaloupe for cheap), salad, sparkling blueberry juice... it was very yummy! Then we read the Nativity out of the scriptures (in future years when the kids are a little bigger we will act it out). We then opened our christmas jammies, then we made cookies for santa, and then we opened some presents from our cousins! It was such a fun night and so fun to do our own thing!
These are the Christmas jammies... I thought this picture was so funny!
Ian was a very good helper in the cookie making process!
As you can see he even got to help scoop the cookie dough onto the pan! They turned out very yummy and Santa loved them! Ian also thought it was very cool that we left out a carrot for the reindeer! It was such a fun night!

I'm so proud of you for starting your own family traditions! Roger and I do the same thing--we had so much fun deciding what to have as fun little fam traditions this year. It makes you so close as a family to really be on your own, even though you do get homesick. I'm glad you got some digital scrapbooking stuff, that's exciting! Maybe you can help me make the baby's birth announcement!
Shauna you have the cutest family!! I have always looked up to you so much and i'm so glad you have such an incredible life now. CUTE BLOG!!
Fun,Fun! Glad you guys had a fun Christmas! Love your gingerbread houses!
