Chocolate Cake for Breakfast
Today I ate chocolate cake for breakfast, played with number magnets, play dough and puzzles. I booked a trip to Disneyland, haven’t changed out of my smurfette pajamas, and chewed bubble gum all day. Am I the only 30 year old mom that does stuff like this?
I haven’t even left the house since Christmas Eve! That’s 14 days ago folks!!! (I did leave to go to church 2x)
I LOVE being at home! A successful day for me is a full day at home.
I seem to be more productive if I know I don’t have anywhere to go or be. Before Christmas I must have allowed the clock rule my life. Before doing anything I had to check the time or I was keeping an eye on it counting down the seconds when the older kids would be home. Why?? I really needed a break from routine to calm down. I feel so much better now that Christmas is behind me. I had a wonderful Christmas, don’t get me wrong. I think it was the expectation I put on myself about it all.
Christmas Break was wonderful. It was LOW KEY!! (like I mentioned before- I didn’t leave the house) We filled the days with reading and board games. The new family favorite is Pictureka. Everyone right down to Jace loved it.
Sam and I were like teenagers again. Once the kids went down for bed our late night party began!
We’d pull out desserts, munchies, drinks and either watch a movie or play a board game till the wee-hours of the morning. Getting back to school schedules was a killer! Just like getting back into shape will be. (ugh)
08 went out Great. I wonder what the new year has in store for me.....
Buy it, your kids will love it.

December happenings in pictures
I didn't blog much during the holidays. We had so much fun doing NOTHING!
Sam was home for 16 days straight!!! That hasn't happened...well, EVER! Within those 16 days we
celebrated our 10 year anniversary, Sam's birthday, Christmas, and New Years. Can you say JUNK FOOD!?
Each mouthful was justified!
I don't want to try to give details of all the fun. Let me just post pictures and say games, games, games,
yum,yum,yum, and is it morning already?
Jen's picture for 12 days (11 stamped picture)
Sam finished the Joseph Smith book!
We LOVE the Whos your Hero Books!!!! Highly Recommended! Thanks Gma Trena!
Sleepy Princess
Revealing to our Neighbor we were "Santa's Helpers" for the 12 Days of Christmas. (She requested we reveal ourselves so she could give the kids gifts. She knew all along it us...very obvious)
Christmas loot
Too much excitement!
Nerf Wars!!!
Jen is upset she is such a great target!
I Love this picture! What studs!
Yeah, I know how you feel!
again?? Jace hasn't lived long enough to build up immunity to sleep.
yes, that's Sam on the top bunk! They never thought to look there for him. Good hiding spot to read.
I was thinking the same thing.
too cute. All by herself making angels. I took this picture from the window while on the phone. (little blurry)
this is how Jen plays Go Fish. She can't hold all the cards so she built a fort to protect them. (Notice Jarom oblivious to his show and tell)
watching the fire! I love our fireplace!!!
Hide and seek.
they said they were playing Trick or Treat.
I love my crazy kids!

Christmas Cards?
I can't seem to get my act together to create Christmas cards. I have a few great ideas but I'm really lacking in the excecution department. I tried taking photos before church but found one REALLY grumpy child that I wanted to threaten a lump of coal to. This is what I got:
I love telling Jace the story of baby Jesus every morning. I love the soft glow from the Christmas tree. I love the Magic I can see in my kids eyes when they sing carols. I Love the warm house and decorations that bring me closer to my kids this Season.
I decorated to the theme "Believe in the Magic of Christmas." The Magic I have witnessed is how the love for baby Jesus transforms people. As I teach my 3 small kids about Christmas, I see Magic everywhere! I do Believe in the Magic the Savior of this world brings, if we make room for Him.
The Holidays!
It all starts at Thanksgiving!
First of all I turned 30!! Whoooo Hoooo! A greatly anticipated event for me! (More about that later)
Jennica performed at the Kindergarten Feast!
And explained how to cook a turkey!
We ventured into the City to peek at the Macy Day Balloons, along with 1 million others. I experience my 1st Human Traffic Jam!
Immediatly after the Turkey was devaured Christmas went up!
Jennica's Pink tree
Jarom and Jace's Blue Tree
Dad surprised us with a new train...Polar Express!!!
Jace LOVES this train. He LOVES everything about the Polar Express!
