Christmas

On Christmas Eve, we went to the annual Christmas Eve dinner at Grandpa and Grandma Folkman's. After dinner the grandkids got to open their present from the grandparents. All the kids got bouncing balls, and they all loved them. We we got home, they got their new pj's and went to bed. Tyson was so excited for Santa to come. Austin was so good to read Christmas stories to Tyson before bed. Watching the kids open their presents on Christmas morning is about the funnest thing for us to watch. Sydney didn't care what she got as long as it was pink! We decided not to go to Richfield until New Years weekend, so we were able to really relax and play with toys on Christmas Day! It was great. On Saturday, we planned to go skiing, but Renald ended up having to go to work that morning. The boys really wanted to go (and so did I), so I called up Danielle (my favorite babysitter) to ski with Austin, and we still went for a half day.

Christmas Programs

On Thursday the 18th, Tyson had his preschool Christmas program. He played a shepard and was very happy to hold the big stick. He did a great job! After school was the boys had their last day of swimming lessons. That night was Austin's Christmas recital. He played We three Kings of orient. He played it flawlessly. I was so proud of him.

Just so you know........

Gingerbread Train

Seeing that our children are more into trains than houses, we decided to make a Gingerbread Train. The kids had a fun and messy time! The also enjoyed the candy quite a bit!

Riding the Rails

Renald took a Saturday off and suprised the kids with going to the Ogden Train Station. We first ate breakfast at Golden Corral, then went to the train station in Ogden. Then we took the kids on the new UTA train that goes to SLC. We ate lunch at the Gateway Mall and took the kids to the Childrens Discovery Center there, then headed back home, but not without stopping at the Chocolate Factory! The kids had a wonderful time.

Sydneys Magic Trick

While I was cooking dinner, I looked over at Sydney and she had learned how to stick a spoon on her nose all by herself! She started laughing when I showed her a picture of how she looked!
