Santa and Christmas lights!

Wednesday was our ward Christmas Party. Brevan was so excited to see Santa Claus! Last year, he cried and cried, so I didn't know what to expect this year! When Santa came on the stage, we all of a sudden lost Brevan in a rush of kids trying to get in line! We looked all over for him and couldn't see him or Sydney! I was talking to someone, when I looked on stage, and Brevan was standing right by the door patiently waiting his turn! He must of butted in line and made his way up there, because we were at the end of the line! But, we ended up finding Sydney coming back out of the line and wanting nothing to do with Santa! That was fine, we just let her look. Brevan went right up to him, sat on his lap, and proceeded with his list of things he wanted for Christmas (Big Lightning McQueen, Big teddy bear, and 2 puppy dogs-not real)! It was quite funny! We had a good time and I am glad he isn't afraid this year, because the other 2 kids are scared to death!

I don't know how many of you watch Good Things Utah, but my sister in laws watched it and told me about a light contest they were doing. I don't know how many of you have seen my parents house at Christmas, but I just knew we needed to enter them. The grand prize was a trip for 4 to Disneyland, plane tickets, hotel stay at a resort at the park, and hopper passes. Well, my mom, Taylor, and I decided to go up north today, so we left Brett with the responsibility of watching and seeing who won. Well, he called me at about 11 o'clock. I answered the phone and he said to me," guess who won!" I thought he was joking, so I just asked if it was my mom. He said yes! I really thought he was just kidding! But, he wasn't. My parents won the contest and the trip! So yeah! We are excited for them! My dad works hard putting up lights starting in October. He says that Christmas morning lasts for thirty minutes, but he gets to enjoy Christmas lights for 30 days! So here are some pics of their house for you all to enjoy! The pics do not do the house justice. I was trying to hurry so I could get the posted before the deadline!

Yelling...

So, the other day we were on our way home from Grandma and Grandpa's house. Brevan was yelling something at me, as usual. I turned around and told him, "you do not need to yell at us!" He looked at me, and with all seriousness replied, "I wasn't yelling at dad!" Needless to say, Brett and I busted up laughing, and Brevan started laughing because we were. It was quite funny! I'm glad he gives us something to laugh about in his times of getting in trouble!

Happy Birthday, Sydney!

I can't believe my little girl is 2 years old today! How the time has flown by! She is the sweetest little girl, and I can't imagine our lives without her in it. Here are 10 things I love about Sydney!1. She makes us laugh all the time!

2. She has the cutest little laugh and giggle! It makes you want to laugh more!

3. When she runs, it is so adorable. She looks like she is going to trip because her feet are running faster than her body can keep up! It is just so cute that it makes you laugh once again!

4. She loves to dance! She has since she was 7 or 8 months old! It is so adorable! You just can't help but dance with her!!

5. She can play by herself and enjoy it. This gives me free time!

6. She loves her shoes. Shoe was her first word! She's a girl after my heart! haha...

7. She loves her butterfly blanket, and can't go to bed without it. She drags it around every morning until she is ready for the day. Then she can let it go until bedtime! It is just cute!

8. She loves Madisyn and Brevan to pieces! She loves to give hugs and kisses to them! She wakes up every morning, says "sis" and has to give Madi kisses! It is so cute!

9. She growls like a bear! It makes us laugh so much! We call her Sydney Bear!

10. She has the most precious smile! When she smiles, her big brown eyes light up and it makes us all feel so much better! She is such a sweet girl and we love her so much!

Here are some pics of our Sweet Sydney Bear! Sorry for the picture overload!

Twilight!

So I finally saw the movie. I said to Brett when I got home that I liked it, but I didn't like it. Does that make sense? I really did like it, I just wish they would have kept more to the book. I think there were a lot of scenes they left out that were kind of important turning points in the book. What do you guys that have seen it think. Here are the things I wish they would have put in.
1. The accident part as it actually went down in the parking lot. When she hit her head and then he removed the dent from the truck. He didn't really run off.
2. The blood typing in biology where she fainted. She later told Edward as they were leaving that she really could smell the blood and that was why she fainted.
3. How she was going to go to Seattle, but ended up staying the day with him in the meadow, not how they portrayed the meadow.
4. I don't remember Jasper being sooooo serious and looking so freaky looking. I thought that it was a little too much on his part.
5. I don't remember Edward being depressed the whole book. In the movie it seemed like he was on the verge of tears half of it.
Anyways... I did like the movie, and I am glad it is finally out. I can't wait for the 2nd to hit theatres! I did like the girl who played Bella, I know some didn't. I thought she did a good job. I really liked seeing the book played out. It makes me want to read the books once again. The other thing I did really like was the music! I loved the soundtrack. So... those who have seen the movie.. tell me what you thought!
