A whole lot of stuff is going on in our house!

First off I should let everyone know that Trent has lost his job, but we feel optimistic and feel that this is a step our Heavenly Father wants us to take to hopefully get us one step closer to getting us financially to a point were I can stay home full time. :) Also, if anyone knows of any job openings for a database administrator, database programmer or a web programmer please let us know so Trent can apply for it :)

Secondly we are going ahead with my surgery tomorrow and I am so excited! I can't wait to start my new life and get healthy and look cute and all that stuff!

So now on to the fun stuff!

We had lots of family fun this week! First on Monday Trent went and picked up his girls and we had a little birthday party for Bessie with just us at the Crouses house and Bessie thought that was fun!

Bessie opening her gift from me and Trent it was baby stuff:)

Singing Happy Birthday!



Then that night Trents parents took all of the Kids and Grandkids
on the Polar Express up in Heber and that was so fun!
The elves handed out cookies and hot chocolate, the head elf read the Polar Express, Mrs. Claus came and said hi and handed out recipes for her special magical cookies, and
Santa came on the train and handed out bells,
The kids had so much fun, and Owen slept through most of it.
but there are a few pictures with him awake :)


Owen's classic sucking on the tongue

Owen didn't like all the noise and
Daddy was sympathizing with him :)

Owen Talking to Grandpa Smith

The girls sat with Grandma Smith and had a great time
and so did Jenna and her family.

Here are the elves handing our cookies!

Here they are handing our hot chocolate to
Brandon and Emily and their kids

A shot of the whole family,
well except Jim (Trent's dad) Who was taking the picture!

Isn't Bessies face so cute in this picture? :)
She was talking to Santa!
Grammy and Grandpa Bernie

This is how impressed Owen
was with Santa and his bell :)

Cute Ayla

Cute Bessie
The Girls with Mrs. Claus




Here Ayla and Bessie are showing the bells that Santa gave them for Christmas. I just have to mention this here.

Santa came to our house on the 21st while the girls were here and once we got home from the polar express Ayla wrote a letter to Santa
and this is what it said verbatim
"Dear Santa, this snack is what I give you. thank you far the belle. I hop you in Joy thes cookies! I want a Pair of snowboots."
She left that out with some cookies and milk! How cute is that! :)

This is "Christmas" morning with the girls


Santa gave the girls Strollers with Baby dolls
that had their names embroidered on them,
I tell ya that Santa is smart to do that
so they wont fight over whose baby and stroller it is :)

Next Trent and I had Christmas eve,
first we went and had some dinner with Trent's family
and Owen opened his gift from Grammy and Grandpa Bernie.
Then we went to my parents church and played
with my family and had some desert
and even sang a few Christmas Hymns
and Owen played with his walker
that Grammy gave him :)

The box is 10 times the size of Owen :)

The babies were not happy about getting their picture taken :)
