Could it be Santa and Rudolph?

Santa

We went to the ward Christmas party tonight. Hallee couldn't wait until Santa came. She kept asking where is Santa. Well Santa arrived and Hallee waited in line to sit on his lap. She finally got to the front and sat happily on his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas. Hallee told him she wanted a Minnie balloon. I know she is so hard to please! Well Santa said that he would bring it to her. All the kids received a little present from him. Hallee took the present and told him thanks. She walked off and about half way from the back of the gym she decided to open the treat bag. The bag had some goodies for the kids. She turned around and said "wait, I asked for a Minnie balloon!" I started laughing so hard. I then explained that Santa would bring it on Christmas if she was good. Mike and I realized that we hadn't explained that Santa comes on Christmas. I love the cute little things she says! This time of year makes me realize what a great family I have.

Temple lights

We went to see the lights at the temple tonight. Let me tell you that they do give Utah lights a challenge! It was a nice cool night. We took Jen along for the ride. Addie loved the lights and screamed happy sounds most of the time. It's a great new tradition to go and see the lights in AZ. I think we all decided that we liked seeing the lights in AZ better because of the weather!

Disneyland

We had so much fun in Disneyland. I could go 5 times a year. We started the trip in the early morning hours. Our first stop was the airport to pick up my parents. The fires in L.A. kept us from getting to the airport in time so they took the shuttle. The fires were huge! We saw houses burning and it made us so sad to think that people were homeless. The freeway was way backed up so it took so much longer to get to the hotel than we expected.
We made it to Disneyland and it was empty. Well not completely, but the fires had scared off the weekend crowd. We went on every ride you could think of and only waited in the Toy Story line. We had a blast.
Mikes brother called and asked if the lines were long. To make a ling story short, they were in Disneyland the next day. Overall it was a terrific trip. The girls were ready to come home at the end of the four fabulous days. Thanks Meme and Papa! We had a terrific time.

Addie update.

We took Addie to Jeff for her 9 month check-up yesterday.
Weight: 17 lbs 15 oz
Length: 27 1/2 inches
Our kids heads are huge! Hallees head was always in the 95 to 100 percent and now Addie's is in the 95th!
She is looking very healthy! Thanks Jeff for checking Addie out for us. We really do appreciate you!!

Mikes turn!

So I went to work today. This month I only work one day. Mike had the lovely job of being home with the girls! I received a call in the afternoon and Mike told me Hallee had something to tell me. I was able to talk to H and she told me that she colored on the wall. Hallee and I have been practicing the letter H. As you can see she is very good! Mike told me tonight that he doesn't know how I do it. I love my family!!
