Scott went a cut down our tree, the girls had a lot of fun decorating it. It was the prickliest tree we've ever had. The plus side of that, is the kids pretty much left it alone...the down side was when i stepped on a needle and it drew blood. We probably won't get that kind again! Thanks to all those who spoiled our kids, we are very blessed.
Grandma CC was so happy to be here and see her family. The girls loved having her. Every morning they tool a book and woke up grandma and read for as long as she would read. They got all kinds of attention. We appreciated having someone to entertain the kids, and help with dishes. Whitney took the entire two weeks to let Grandma hold her.
Sara helped us shovel. She didn't want to play in the deep snow in the back. This year is still nothing compared to last winter, we've had snow but the weather has been pretty good.

Having fun with Grandma CCMom was able to come for two weeks over Christmas. This is the first time we have spent Christmas together since the year Scott drove up to Canada, a few weeks before we got engaged. So it was nice to have her. She enjoyed spoiling the girls, seeing a bit of the area that we could from a warm car, and taking a quick trip to Orem to see Scott's family. We all wish we lived closer together, but hopefully in a few years mom will be able to spend more time in Utah.
Christmas was good. We stayed home and just let the kiddos play with their toys. The big present this year was a new Wii system. Everybody has been enjoying it. We love Sports Resort which has a bunch of different games like swordfighting, basketball, bowling, waterskiing and many more. We can play it as a family, and it is easy enough for the big girls to play alone. The other favorite game is I Spy Spooky mansion. You go through rooms in a mansion and find things, just like in the I spy boks. We played it as a family every monday night and took until this week to finish it.
The girls were happy with everything and we had a fun day, complete with a nice turkey dinner.

Oh, yes, Grandma CC did have a good time. Loved being with you. It's taking me ages to quit bemoaning the fact that I have to wake up to an alarm clock instead of little girls giggles. Yup, and it's February. These photos and write ups are great...lots of good memories!
