Christmas 09

Logan's list for santa (with a few wishes from Autumn too)

Christmas Eve

They were so excited! Of course it wasn't too

easy to get them to bed.

This is what time the magic all started in the morning.

YEAH, NEVER doing that AGAIN!!!

Coming downstairs to start tearing things open!!

AND, it begins.....

and goes...

and goes...

and goes some more!!!

We loved seeing their fun expressions!

It's so fun to watch them get so excited!

Hats from Grandma Heaton!

Now it's time to start untwisting the millions of

twisty ties on the back of ALL the packages!

My hands were so sore that day from all the

packages they wanted open!

AND WHAT A MESS!!!!!!!

Logan's gifts

Autumn's gifts

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope everyone else did too!

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2010 will be a great year

for you all!

All I want for Christmas is my new front tooth....

Oh wait....it's actually already in. Even better!

Last night Logan finally lost her first tooth!

At the ripe old age of 7 1/2 years!!

After about a month of complaining that it was

loose, it finally just came out. Her other tooth

had already grown in all the way, just behind

the baby tooth. So she looked a bit like JAWS

for a while! We are so glad it came out. She

was really glad that it didn't hurt. It was fun to

play tooth fairy, but a little tricky. I went to

lay down with Autumn so she would fall asleep.

Logan was already sawing logs, so I slipped the

tooth out from under her pillow. Then I went

of the room for a bit and was going to let Autumn

try to fall asleep before we put the dollar under

Logan's pillow. Then Logan woke up screaming that

her ear hurt. So we gave her some medicine and

sent her back to sleep. Good thing she didn't

notice there was no money or no tooth! This

morning she asked me if she could check under

her pillow! Funny gir! She was really happy to

find a dollar under her pillow and can't wait to tell

everyone at school!

The tooth she lost was the bottom front (on her

right side). The other one is already to move

forward now! Hope there is enough space for it.

It looks so much bigger!

More toothy shots!!

Sledding and such

James is such a wonderful dad!! He took the girls out sledding last weekend. They loved it! Followed by some yummy hot chocolate! What lucky girls! Too bad I had to work.

Santa was at FHE last monday and Logan was pretty happy to see him, although she did tell Santa she had been naughty this year. She asked for a zhu zhu pet. I guess it's all the rage this year. We'll see if she gets one! He gave her a candy cane for at least telling the truth about being naughty.

Then there was Autumn. Apparently, she did not love Santa. I was at work, so I missed out on yet another fun time with the girls! Thanks Mom Heaton and Dad Brookes for letting us borrow your cameras for the holidays, so we can capture some of these fun Christmas memories!

Our presents are all wrapped with bows standing in front of the tree! These girls are just great! Logan and Autumn in church Christmas outfits!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas season. We are grateful for this time of year to remember the Savior and his birth. May you and your families know of our love for Him, and for all of you!! Merry Christmas!

since we can't find our camera

i guess i may as well just go ahead and make a post worth reading about, and tell you.......

today i got to hear my baby's heartbeat!!! yes, you read it right! i'm pregnant!

i am about 10 weeks, and due at the end of june! james and i are really excited! we told the girls yesterday and logan said she hopes it a boy, and autumn said, "i not a baby i'm a sweet pea"!! guess she doesn't get it yet! we can't wait to welcome another bundle of joy!

halloween 09

Autumn gettin' ready to ask for more treats

than tricks!!

James' pumpkin

Jana's pumpkin

Logan carving her pumpkin. This was probably

the first year I didn't have to help her. It was

kind of nice!

Logan with finished pumpkin

Autumn's tiny pumpkin

Autumn carving

Logan's school halloween parade. It was the

thursday before (no school on friday-boo hoo

for me). So I had to get her ready twice :(

Autumn having returned home after only about

a half an hour, was content to just sit on the

couch with mommy. Logan went back out on

the town with daddy for a while. She was loving

checking out all her loot!

Logan as a blonde witch with spiderweb eyelashes

for her school parade.

More before the school parade. I think she looks

too grown up here!

More checking of the loot!

Logan dramatically falling down the stairs as

a black haired witch on halloween. The green

face also makes a great look for her!

Happy Halloween from two little happy trick

or treaters! They had a great night. Now we

just have to teach them to put the candy wrappers

in the trash, not on the floor!
