Christmas

We had the best Christmas! We've been busy eating, visiting family, cooking, playing games, and watching movies. Christmas Eve was spent at my parents house. My mom cooked up a feast! All of our family favorites, yum! That night the kids opened their Christmas PJ's.
Allie & Brock with my parents.
Allie loves the Barbie car and clothes my parents got her and especially the movie, "Barbie and the Three Musketeers!" She been running around the house pretending to be a musketeer and yelling, "en gaurd."
This little toy has kept Brock very entertained. He loves it!
Grandma Julie came early Christmas morning to watch Allie & Brock open their presents. When Allie saw the bike Santa left her she screamed, "I knew it! I knew he would remember!" Grandma Julie gave her a cute doll house and a Cinderella Barbie. Can you tell Allie is into Barbie's?
Brock scored big as well! (On a side note, Our 8-month old Brock is developing like crazy! He can stand by himself and has learned to clap. He took his first step today! I bet he'll be walking in the next 2-3 weeks.)
We spent Christmas day with Grandma Julie and went to visit her family up in Bountiful. We had a wonderful Christmas day!
Opening up Papa & Nana Revell's gift left a perma-grin on Allie's face. This little doll is now named "Allie" cause Allie thinks she looks just like her. So cute!
Other things we did during this holiday season:
-The girls made gingerbread houses. They turned out so cute!
-Played in the snow! Allie made the head all by herself.
This picture cracks me up! It's hard to tell what she is doing but she told me she was "digging a tunnel." She basically gave herself a white wash digging head first, face down in the snow!
-And we've been making lots of trips to our new home. It's coming along and will be done next week (although we close in two weeks)! We can hardly wait!
