This post is a little bit late but we’ve had a whirlwind couple of days! Logan seems to be over the vomit and Lindsay’s eyes look better. Hopefully, we can stay healthy until after the holidays, since we’re traveling!

Last Saturday we started and ended the day with a Christmas party. Our wards Christmas party was a breakfast this year with yummy biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, fruit and juice.


(Logan had a yellow mustache because of the juice. It stayed there for a LONG time!)
It was so wonderful to see so many members of our ward come together to have a wonderful time and to celebrate the Christmas season. After breakfast, we all sang Jingle Bells super loud in hopes that Santa would hear and come visit us. When he walked through the door, Lindsay was SO super excited! She turned to me and said, “MOMMY!! SANTA IS HERE!!!!” The next thing I knew, she was off my lap and running to give him a hug. She just couldn’t believe that singing the song had actually worked and that he was here.

She sat on his lap and told him she wanted a toy Santa and a toy Snowman. I don’t know. I am a little relieved that there wasn’t any mention of anything princess. Logan didn’t want anything to do with Santa but we did manage to get a picture of him hating it. Gotta have one of those!

We had a really nice time, thanks Activities Committee! You always do a great job!
Then we went home and Jeff put some shelves up in the closet upstairs and it looks really nice! We’re going to put one of Jeffy’s old computers in there for the kids. I’m exited and so is Lindsay!
Then around 4:30pm we drove up to Salt Lake for the Digicert Christmas Party, which are always a lot of fun. We had it in the Presidents Room in the Joseph Smith Building there and it was so beautiful. That building is amazing and the atmosphere is so wonderful. We ate dinner with all the prophets looking down on us, trying to see if we could recognize each one. Once again, Santa came but this time he brought Mrs. Claus with him and Lindsay was again super excited and she didn’t seem to notice that they looked completely different!

Jeff and I were so worried about that because earlier in the evening, she had noticed that Brenda’s hair looked different from the last time she saw her. Which was 5 months earlier!! What a memory! So, I’m glad she was oblivious. Santa brought her a Ariel doll that she can play with in the tub and Santa brought Logan more trucks, which were a hit!



I just have to take another moment once again to express how much I love my kids! They are the best kids ever and I just love them so much! This next picture once again shows how much they love each other. Logan will do anything as long as Lindsay is with him and Lindsay is always so willing to help him. She knew that he was a little scared of Santa so when she wanted to go give him another hug, I asked her if she would hold Logan’s hand and take him with her and she just did it with a smile on her face. I’m so glad that they have each other and that they genuinely love each other so much!

Aren’t they cute?

Still holding hands.

Thanks again Digicert for a fun evening and we can’t wait to do it again!
