Christmas Morning!

What a great Christmas we had! The kids had so much fun opening their gifts from Santa, I just love to see how excited they get. The boys got a Wii and they were so thrilled. Brynlee got Petshop stuff and a Hello Kitty Stereo. Baylee got a little pink Barbie four wheeler. She looks so darn adorable driving around the house on it. The kids also got a trip to Disneyland from Warren and I which we will be taking real soon! The kids were pretty spoiled this year but we made a real point to teach them the true meaning of Christmas! I know they understand that it's all about our Savior Jesus Christ and his birth, I did a special sharing time in primary about the true meaning of Christmas. It went great and the children were so attentive! Sunday I also had to give a talk in Sacrament Meeting. I was truly scared to death. I just thought I would mention something I talked about in my talk. My talk was on Building an Eternal Family, I just thought I would encourage everyone to keep your focus on family. There are so many things in life trying to pull apart the family I of course want to be with my family forever and all of you. President Harold B. Lee taught: The most important of the Lord's work that you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home. I hope all of you have a great Holiday Season, and enjoy ringing in the new year! Love, Eryn

The Nutcracker!

The monday before Christmas, my friend Sarah and I took our girls to the Nutcracker. It was a fun mother daughter time! After the Nutcracker we took the girls to Olive Garden. We all got dressed up and had a great evening!

Big Girl !

I can't believe it but yes my 18mo old baby wants to potty train. Isn't she adorable on her potty! For the past month or two she comes and tells us before she poops in her diaper, so I thought I would buy a potty and see what she would do. Just about everyday now since I bought it she goes pee in it. I don't pressure her and she loves showing everyone when she goes potty. As happy as I am, I am also saddened because she is growing up so fast and soon we won't have a baby anymore.

Bryn's Christmas Recital!

Thursday the 18th was Brynlee's Christmas Dance Recital. She did a Jazz dance to the song Mr. Grinch. She did great! She was so excited and had a great time with her best friend Kemry! Bryn is such a poser. I didn't even put her in any of these positions, I just told her to pose and this is what she did. We are so proud of Brynlee, she loves dance and is really good at it. She definitely doesn't take after her parents.

Our Christmas Tree, Yippee!!

What a fun night we had putting up the Christmas Tree. The kids were so excited and loved every minute of it. I don't usually get excited to decorate for the Holidays but this year I was. I put on Christmas music ( which warren complained about the whole night ) and loved watching the kids and their excitement over decorating the tree. I usually have to have the tree just perfect and end up changing the tree after the kids go to bed but this time I left it as is. I'm learning to be more relaxed, especially when my sweet little sassy tore into a decoration with in the first 5 minutes that the tree was done. She ripped it apart and bit off pieces of it but I can't say I was surprised. As the tree was going up she was right underneath the tree doing her best to be in the way. I love being the mother to my four beautiful kids they make me want to be a better person. I have so much to be thankful for this season, I am truly grateful!
