We brought our own tree to decorate! It was a disney tree. the girls had fun with it! Our view from our room. Looked cool at night and we watched the electrical parade from here. Splash Mountain! This was the best first christmas as a family ever! We had so much fun and I enjoed our familt time together so much. Jeff was such a trooper he went on ever single ride with Kenzi even all the rollercoasters which I always go on, but didn't this year due to being prego. He even took Tyla on all the rides she insisted on going on over and over again! Tyla loved soarin over California (we went on it 5 times!!), tea cups, monster inc, and many more. Kenzi loved all the big rides like Hollywood Tower of Terror, Splash mountain and space mountain. I just loved watching the girls have fun together. My parents and my brother Bryan and his family came for the last couple days we were there. Tyla and Kenzi had tons of fun with their cousin Breckyn!
Today was the Treible Christmas party. The kids always like this because Santa comes every year and there is tons of yummy food! MacKenzie told Santa she doesn't really want anything this year!! That was too funny! Good thing Kenzie because Disneyland is your Christmas present this year!
MacKenzie and Tyla did so good at their dance recital this past Saturday. Kenzi had THREE performances and did great in all of them! This was Tyla's very first recital and I had major anxiety attacks about her being on stage and what would happen and I honestly couldn't ask for any better performance from her. She probably did only half her dance and the rest of the time she just stood their, but I am just so thankful she didn't cry or run off stage. This might not seem like a big deal to some, but for us we couldn't have been more proud of Tyla! Tyla wouldn't let me put her reindeer outfit on or do her hair so I brought her there just minutes before the recital started and thankfully I got it on her(even though she fought me the whole time)and I was lucky enough to put her hair in a quick ponytail.
I am super happy with the way our house turned out. Good job babe! We still have alot of fixin up to do with our home, but one thing at a time. I am having fun with it.
Christmas is just around the corner and we still have so much stuff we want to do before then such as Zoo Lights and Temple Lights. The girls had so much fun decorating their gingerbread house and it was so fun to watch the girls get so into it. It seems like each year the girls get older and really enjoy, understand and appreciate the holidays. It was a special moment for us to see Tyla want to participate and have fun and like always Kenzi was a great helper to her. I love these moments at home that we have to spend together as a family, hang out in our PJ'S and not go anywhere. Yes Jeff and I did compromise and have the ASU & U of A game on while decorating. Jeff is really happy about the score so far...
There are moments like this that let you forget about all the "bad days" like coloring all over the dresser drawer!Tyla's new phase right now is watching the Wizard of Oz. She is obsessed!! She wants to watch it all the time. She walks around the house saying "I want Oz" over and over again. Kenzi pulled out this movie about two weeks ago and I am amazed that tyla liked it (I think the movie is kinda scary). Tonight when we were getting ready for bed she insisted on sleeping with the DVD case and she always says in her prayers who she is thankful for and tonight there was one added to the list...OZ!! She has not let go of the case since she has been asleep...so cute! I just love her!
