CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

So Christmas was just sooo fun this year! All my boys were into it and they all loved what they got! Cord has been begging for a DS for a year and a half and Santa finally brought him one this year!

Hudson got this rocking horse and he loves pushing the buttons and hearing it neigh, but he gets mad when you sit him on it!

Hudson Mastering the art of opening presents!

Yes, that is a doll house under that wrapping paper, but Bridger LOVES that kind of stuff, and Santa really understands him ;)

Chris asked for one thing, a new ski rashgard and so I made him show it off for the camera along with his new bini hat. Look at those biceps!!

Here is Cord with his winnings from Santa

Here's Hudson's pile, and I seriously can't find the picture of Bridger's pile, so I'll have to add it later...

You know how people kid about having "2nd Breakfast", well every year, we get "2nd Christmas" from my parents. They absolutely spoil every single one of us, not just the kids but the adults too. This is what it looks like every year when we gather at my parents house, and mind you it's just for me and my sisters family! SPOILED!

And this is Santa himself Mr. Brent Clause (my dad) He absolutely loves Christmas and I know that he doesn't just buy them alot of presents to spoil them, he seriously loves to see the joy on their faces as they open each present. He gets into the spirit of Christmas more than anyone I know and it goes beyond the presents, he loves the music, getting the perfect tree, (and decorating it to his liking :) ) It's soo fun!And my mom and my sister. My mom loves it just as much as my Dad. She tries to tame him a little bit, but you know she loves it!

Chris and Dean

See, look at that killer smile!

Hudson loving on Brenda

The whole family!

Christmas Eve and more...

Here's a few pictures of Christmas Eve and random pictures before I post the BIG day! Bridger wanted to put cookies under the tree for Santa, not by the fireplace! It was quite funny. Cord next to his milk and cookies he set out...

Christmas Eve at my parents house. All the grandkids! Look at that lonely neice of mine, doesn't it look like she needs a girl cousin???

Me and my sister..

He wouldn't let those things go for awhile....

Temple Square

So we made it to the lights this year on like the coldest and busiest day of the season! They had a BYU/Arizona game playing that night and everyone thought it would be a good idea to go see the ligts! We met up with the Filpots and the Alvords, but it was hard to stick together because it was sooo crowded!!! What a beautiful sight though!

It must BE Santa...

This is our first attempt at Santa this year at my Family Christmas party. As you can see Hudson and Bridger was NOT having it. Nu-uh, no way! They both were screaming for their lives! But Cord on the other hand was hamming It up, he had lots to say to Santa!

But then somewhat of a miracle happened, Chris took the boys to the mall and Cord once again sat on Santas lap and when he was finished Bridger walked right up to him and sat on his lap and when Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas Bridger signed treat! How cute is that!!!! I was really impressed.

Anderson Girls

So arent' these just the cutest girls ever!?!? These are my neices Avery Mylee and Marisa. I see these girls probably daily and I just love them! I guess they take the place of my long lost girl that I was supposed to have! I have 3 boys, she has 3 girls, go figure! Anyways, I always help Abbie put together her Christmas card so I thought I'd share how cute they were!

Halloween pics

Here is our little costume workout day at crossfit, isn't that a lovely sight, and yes, I'm sporting my junior high cheerleading outfit, my have times changed! This is my darling SIL Abbie, we call her Gumby...

My little chicken Hudson

My friend hods a Halloween dinner every year before we go out Trick or Treating, Here's most the crew...

My Family Halloween night. Chris was sort of a grim reaper, Cord Bumble Bee, and Bridger was Batman.

A WACKY WITCHES WEDDING! Have you ever heard of a mystery dinner, well this one was held at the castle in Layton and it was tons of fun! And yes, that is Edward I'm standing next to!!! (ok not really). Me and my sister and my mom all got the same basic stuff and Gardner VIllage this year but my mom took her costume to a whole nother level with her creativity and actually won her work costume party out of hundreds of costumes!

My Aunt DeAnne, Grandma H. Aunt Tami, and cousin Nicole

Me, my mom, and sister.

My Dad and Chris were good sports to spend the night with us "wacky witches"!

Oh Deer....

This years hunting experience was a little different than in the past, and I loved every minute of it! I actually got to camp out a couple of nights and really enjoy the ucky, rainy, muddy weather with Chris and my parents! We totally got rained out the first weekend, but come Wednesday I went out with my parents again and got me my biggest buck to date! I definetely could NOT do this without my dad and I'm sooooo greatful to be able to spend this time with him. It's a hobby that I have learned to love, because my dad loves it sooo much and I hope I get to do this with him for many, many years to come.

hApPy BiRtHdAy CoRd!!

Wow! Cord is now 6! Six sounds so big boyish! Anyways, Cord had an awesome birthday party this year! We did How To Train Your Dragon theme and had lots of fun! Here he is with his best budds the twins, and Stryder and his brothers!Hudson enjoying his icecream cone!

Cords cake that he loved! Bridger wanted that dragon soooooo bad off the cake so while he was having one of his major melt downs I went and got his Christmas present and let him have a bigger toothless dragon that you see in the first picture! HE LOVES this show! Cords present at the end of their treasure hunt! He LOVES his new bike and he's sooooooo good at it, too good at it!

One of the treasures during the treasure hunt....

Searching for another clue....

And of course the pinata....

Cord LOVES playing! He can't stop! he is soooo good to his brothers and lets them play with him all the time, even with the big boys! He loves riding his bike and his dirt bike, and going up camping and fishing! He's very distracted but very loving! We love you Cord!
