Decorating the Tree and Visit to the North Pole

On Wednesday, we decorated the tree and the kids did most of it by themselves. It was so cute watching them decorate the tree and get so excited. They loved putting the ornaments on the tree and Alex especially loves to look at himself on the shiny ornaments and making faces at them. I love this time of the year and I am grateful for every minutes I get to spend with my kiddos.

Our tree... They did a very good job decorating it and I am glad we let them do it by themselves.

Love how this pic turned out!

This morning we got to see Santa at our ward primary Christmas breakfast .. Genne was really excited to see Santa and Alex did not know any emotions about it. They were super excited when Santa arrived and suddenly got really nervous when we got in line to go see him. Genne did not want to go alone so Matt when with her but Alex went like a big kid but just wanted his candy cane and got right off his lap as soon as he handed him the candy. After all the kids went, Genne decided she wanted to go again and that time all by herself, so she slowly walked to him and sat on his lap looking really shy and nervous but she did it all by herself ( Proud of her for her courage)

Happy to see Santa!

" Telling " Santa what they want for Christmas... They have been some awesome kids this year so I am sure the big guy will be nice to them and bring them something cool!

After what happen yesterday, I am even more grateful for having them with me and know that our Heavenly Father is watching over us at all time and if something ever happen to us or them I know that I will have them forever because of the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus did for us... I love my babies and happy to be able to hear them laugh, complain and even when they are sad or getting in trouble♥

Farewell UT

        Since I never got to tell you guys about our move, I figure better now then later even if it it a WHOLE month later. Matt got an awesome promotion in a CO branch and they gave us 1 1/2 week to move our little family across the state ( Hope next time, we will have a little more time but it is a great thing I don't get stress often or I would have completely freaked out). Apparently, that is not enough to get a house in time to move in so our Wonderful brother and sister-in law agree to let us stay with them until we found a place to live ( still working on it). The first week after we found out, I worked on all my orders and hangout one last time with a few friends that I might never see again ( sad part about moving) and kind of just ignore our packing. Then, our last week in UT was pretty CRAZY... We had Alex last week of school, Genne last tea party with her friends, Matt's finals, Our whole Vinton crow arrived, two days graduations, had a couple photo shots for a few friends ( and edited the pictures) and we even manage to make time to pack, sleep and laugh and keep our sanity... Well most of everyone, as for me, mine was gone long ago ( probably when I was little, ha ha ha)... I am still surprise we survive our most crazy week and so grateful for all those who come to help us pack and celebrate Matt's accomplishment, watch the kids and was willing to be our friend.We made to CO in one piece thanks to my Sis Brittany who was nice enough to drive us instead of me ( let just I was too scare to drive). 

Alex was a little concern for the first week, he wasn't looking to happy and I was starting to worry about him. I was worried that taking step backward in term of developing... Matt said he was fine but I could tell he was not comfortable and did not know what was going on. He was holding on to his stuff Angry Birds more then usually and would not let it out of sight. He would laugh when we were playing with him but as soon as we were not he was just looking loss, also he was not his happy screaming self so I am really glad that he is finally feeling for comfortable and run around laughing , screaming and talking to himself again. In the other hand, Genne stayed her happy self and loves having a baby in the house to play with and is pretty attach to uncle Brian and aunt Brittany. I am grateful for all the wonderful friends I was lucky enough to meet while we were in UT and wish you all luck in you next adventures and thank you for everything.

It is so nice to live closer to family and watching my kids interact with their cousins and aunts and uncles... We are happy and looking forward to living here.

 Got to make the girls matching dresses for mother's day... So very cute!!!

 Genne Loves to play with her and giving her kisses

 Alex usually just let her play with his hair and crawl on him just like he used to do with Genne.

 We played with bubbles and write with chalk .

 Alex and his crazy hair!!

If you made it this far then you really love me, bwahahaha! So here some pictures for you♥

Life Continues...

 Will miss this little place we got to call home for 5 1/2 years where we brought home both of our babies and watch them learn many things. We got to built in some great memories and made many wonderful friends which we will miss and hope to keep in touch with. Life continue and soon, we will have another place to call home and continue on our great adventures of life.

 Our first home
