What a Christmas


Christmas only gets more fun as the children get older! I knew it was a success when Cariña said "This was the best Christmas ever! I loved everything I got." Phew, I thought long and hard for each gift. I was not willing to spend money on gifts that wouldn't get played with. Also I was able to complete their pjs before Christmas eve. They turned out cute. Cariña loved her nightgown.

Here is the kids opening up the Christmas eve pajamas. They were cute.

Here is Cariña with her polly pocket mega set. This was a great gift. She has played with it consistently for the past week. In the picture below she loaded her polly pocket crew on her cousin's mega truck.



This is one of Helaman's favorite gift. The BYU glow in the dark ball. Balls are always great gifts. The only problem is making sure the kids don't fight over the ball.




I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Christmas Season

This is the start of my Christmas decorations. This is my Christmas mural. I am not an artist but it turned out okay. I love this type of decorations because when I am done, I take it down and throw it away and I don't have to store it. :)


This isn't a great picture, but it shows the details a little better. Cariña and Helaman helped alot. on the left you can see all the scribbles Helaman did and Cariña did the tree on the right. She did a great job.
