Yes, it is almost March and I am finally posting about the Holiday Season! Where does time fly? I guess memories are kind of like a good piece of pie... so delicious during the moment, yet still mouth-watering when you think about it later. It was fun blogging about the Holidays and enjoying the fun memories of being together...
THANKSGIVING
BAKING WITH MOMMY... I'M SO LUCKY I HAVE SUCH GREAT HELPERS!
TURKEY APPLES
THANKSGIVING FEAST... I BAKED ALL DAY BECAUSE I WANTED MY FAMILY TO ENJOY A YUMMY THANKSGIVING DINNER! SO GOOD! I WISH WE COULD HAVE HAD EXTENDED FAMILY TO SHARE IT WITH:) I WAS PRETTY PROUD OF MYSELF!
YUMMY PIES!
PICTURES WITH SANTA. PRESLYN INFORMED US THAT SHE, "DOES NOT LIKE SANTA. HE IS RUDE!" AND DEMARIE LEARNED THE SECRET TO SANTA THIS YEAR WHEN SHE SAT ON HIS LAP AND RECOGNIZED THE VOICE OF HER FRIEND'S DAD. HE LET HER KNOW ABOUT SANTA'S SECRET HELPERS THAT DRESS UP LIKE HIM DURING DECEMBER AND TAKE CHILDREN'S "ORDERS." HE ASSURED HER THAT HE WOULD PASS HER REQUEST FOR AN AMERICAN GIRL DOLL THAT LOOKED LIKE HER ON TO THE REAL SANTA VIA EMAIL.
ENJOYING THE LAS VEGAS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS WITH OUR GUESTS. THANKS KAREN, BRANDON, JAKE, MILIN, AND TEAN FOR VISITING US!
OUR ATTEMPT AT THE NATIVITY ON CHRISTMAS EVE. DEMARIE WAS MARY AND WAS IN TEARS BY THE END DUE TO A WARDROBE MALFUNCTION (THE STUFFED BLANKET IN HER BELLY KEPT FALLING OUTAND HER DRESS CHOKED HER), PRESLYN WAS THE DONKEY AND ENJOYED HER PART A LITTLE TOO MUCH THAT IT WAS HARD TO REIGN HER IN, AND BROYDEN WAS A SHEPHERD...FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS! DEMARIE'S FAVORITE DOLL, BABY JULIE PLAYED THE PART OF SWEET BABY JESUS. (WAS IT THIS CHAOTIC TRYING TO ACT OUT THE NATIVITY WHEN WE WERE KIDS????)
CHRISTMAS MORNING... BROYDEN ENJOYING HIS NEW BALLS! HAPPY AS CAN BE WITH A BALL IN HIS HAND!
DEMARIE WITH HER BELOVED AMERICAN GIRL DOLL THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE HER (WHICH SHE LATER NAMED ALEXSES), AND PRESLYN WITH HER FLASHLIGHTS (THE ONLY THING SHE WANTED SANTA TO BRING HER)
DEMARIE AND PRESLYN OPENING THEIR NEW DOLL HOUSE FROM MOM AND DAD (WHICH WAS ORDERED ON-LINE THANKSGIVING EVENING. AARON CALLED ME A WEEK LATER WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND SAID, "WHY IS DEMARIE ON THE FRONT PORCH JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH PURE EXCITEMENT STARING AT A BIG BOX WITH A BIG PICTURE OF A DOLL HOUSE ON IT????" WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD COSTCO SHIP A BOX THAT IS CLEARLY A CHRISTMAS PRESENT WITH THE CONTENTS PRINTED SO VIVIDLY ON THE BOX!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO PLAIN BROWN CARDBOARD? OH WELL! IT ALL PAID OFF IN THE END WHEN I LATER CAME HOME FROM WORK TO A BIG HUG, THANK YOU NOTE, AND A BEAUTIFUL WATCH MADE FROM A PINK STRAW, PAPER, AND STAPLES--MY EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM DEMARIE IN HER ATTEMPT TO SHOW APPRECIATION. LUCKILY, SHE WAS A BIG GIRL AND DID NOT RUIN THE SURPRISE FOR HER SISTER.)

Such a cute family! I love watching Broyden dance!!!
What a fun holiday update! Broyden is so cute walking in the more recent one too. I loved how you baked all day for Thanksgiving for your one little family and then took pictures. I did the same thing and loved every minute of it, although I forgot the pictures until after it was devoured.
It was fun to meet your brother! We're thrilled their family will only be 20 minutes away!
