Merry Christmas!!!

So we are back, finally, but I will post on that later! I just wanted to tell everyone Merry Christmas!! It doesn't quite feel like Christmas Eve since Brad is working today and I just got back from my parents (which normally I would be there this year, but couldn't) So I'm trying!! Madison and I are going to make cookies for Santa, she is really catching on this year and its really cute!! She wanted to leave to Walmart right after we watched "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" so we could make cookies. I convinced her that we all had to eat, shower, and get ready and then we would go. I even dressed Emma up for today!! Then tonight we are going caroling with Brad's family and then coming back to our house for food and games. Hopefully Brad will get off early and then I can get in the Christmas mood!! I hope everyone has a great Christmas!!!

Washington

Well we've now been in Washington for a week and a bit and it HAS been eventful!! Between Brya's family and mine we have had strep, the flu, and ear infections. Then to top it off Jenna got second to third degree burns on both of her hands. Which has ended in daily trips to the hospital for Brya and Jenna. So over all EVENTFUL!!!!!

But of coarse its still been fun to see all the family!! Hopefully it will be a lot more dull in the next week and a half!!!

Too Cute!!

Those who know Madison know that she is ALWAYS singing!! Sometimes she sings real songs but a lot of the time she makes them up including her cousins and friends!! Well today while I was packing for Washington I heard her in the back round singing. This is what she was singing

"Don't take my Mom's sunshine, Don't take my Mom's sunshine away," after saying that for a while she said "don't take my dad's sunshine aways and don't take my Emma's sunshine away"

Apparently she was listening when I was singing to Emma the other day!! I was so cute!!!

These are my two sunshines

Haircut

Well today was my turn to get a haircut!!! And I keep wanting something different and DIFFERENT I got!! So here it is!! I still don't know what I think. 8 inches makes quite a difference!!!

I am a Child of God (Madison's rendition)

So here is one of the cutest things EVER!!!

Hair Cut

Well I finally did it!! I've been thinking about getting Madison's hair cut and I did it!!
And when I say cut I mean cut!!! Into a bob!!

She did SO good!! She just sat there and did everything she was asked to!!

Here it is the cute short new hair cut!!!

I have to admit it was really hard for me to do but I think it's adorable!! We'll see what her dad thinks soon!! I didn't tell him I was doing it!!

Halloween

Here's our little Pocahontas and Flower
Emma got to wear Madison's costume. The funny thing was Madison filled out the hat better then Emma did and Madison was a month and a half younger.

Madison (I mean Pocahontas) at the 3rd ward Trunk or Treat

Madison had a hard time with Trick or Treating. We went to a house that had lights, cob webs, and steam and it scared her!! From then on if any house had lights or any kind of decorations she would say "No,No, too scary!!" But fortunately Daddy was there to "help" her!!

Dayton, Madison, Jenna (lamb), and Wyatt

Wyatt, Madison, Dayton, Lynnie and Colby

(Traci made their costumes!! I was very impressed)

This age was so fun to take trick or treating. We had Dayton and Wyatt who would try to run from house to house , so excited!! Dayton actually opened someones door when they took too long (fortunately in ended up being my old roommates house.) Lynnie would check every piece of candy put in her bag to make sure if it was satisfactory, if not she would tell them and ask for different ones (her parents ruined that by telling her to just say thanks.)
Then there was Madison who after the "Scary" house we had to practically force her to get candy, seriously what kid says I want to go home, instead of get candy!!!

Needless to say it was a lot of fun!!!
