Christmas 2009

Santa found us! Wow, the girls must have been on the nice list.
Here is our beautiful tree all lite up. We had a couple of issues with the tree this year, notice the slight tilt to the right. Needless to say we has bought a new tree stand.

Close up of how spoiled my wonderful girls are.

Here is the first sight of what santa left for them.

You can't tell that we had to wake up Jayden can you? They where so super excited!

This is Taya as she inches closer to the tree.

Going through the stockings.

Digging for every last thing!

Taya kept telling us and she had asked Santa for a chocolate horse. Santa came through on that request. Taya absolutely loved it!

Taya showing off her sparkle pants.

The girls got their Nintendo DS that they have been asking for. Jayden got hers in blue, her favorite color. Of course Rylie got hers in pink, her favorite color.

Rylie loved it if you can't tell.

"Now what?"

They all love their barbies.

Jayden and her magic kit.

She got her boots.

This is how she opened every present. It sure made everything worth it!

So excited for clothes and really everything else.

Rylie loves to read. She has been reading the Fablehaven books in her class at school, so Jayden decided to get her a couple of them.

Jayden investigating her littlest pet shops very close!

Jayden got her bareback pad that she has been wanting forever.

Rylie got her first rifle she has been bagging Adam to take her turkey hunting. SHe is scheduled to take her hunters safety in January.

Rylie's pink 22, Daddy's little girl.

Christmas trees

This is one of my most favorite family traditions. We go to Beaver mountains, play in the snow, eat sloppy joes and cut down our Christmas tree for the year.
Rylie and Jayden had a blast sledding.

Taya loved riding on the fourwheeler.

Lisa and Kailan.

Dad pulling Rylie around on the sled. Sure beats pushing them around.

Time for sloppy joes. They never taste as good as they do in the mountains.

Papa Jim.

Grandma Crash keeping the little ones warm in the truck. Bella is on grandma's lap, Carter is right behind, Taya peeking over the passenger seat and you can barely see Kailan's pink legs and black boots as she took a nose dive to the back seat.

My cheeseball Taya.

Papa Jim and Lisa warming up with some hot chocolate.

Dad trying to knock Rylie off the sled. She is barely hanging on.

Rob (love the face!) Bella and Kari.

Carter and Taya. Best Buds.

Carter getting tackled.

Lisa warming up in Edward (she named her truck after a vampire, cause who wouldn't want to take a ride on Edward, Ha Ha)

Taya had the cutest saying. She would grab the snow and say "Make wish, make wish." then toss the snow in the air.

Jayden was a little cold. She was trying to keep her nose warm.

These two could play all day. Grandma Crash standing by to be a referee if needed.

And these two Adam and Marc could also play all day long.

Rylie is a Daddy's girl for sure!

Marc playing. Trying to throw snow all over us!

Taya and Carter ran up and down this ramp I think a million times.

Rob was helping Cater up and Taya decided to be helpful and brush off his butt. Isn't she sweet?

Here is the final products of our trip. Our 2009 Christmas Tree.

Soccer

Jayden's team huddle. They named themselves the Green Goblins.
There she goes after the ball. Always on the hussle.

Look at this team work. Jayden and Anna did a great job working together.

They look like they are pooped!
