Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve Dave, me and our girls spent the day making delicious treats for family and

neighbors. They were so cute. Ali layed on the counter and smiled and jabbered and Emma stood on her helper stool and helped me with every task I would let her. That evening a huge storm hit but we had plans to head up to Snow Basin for their Christmas festivities with B and Jess....so we went. It was a crazy drive up there. There were moments where it was complete white out conditions. We couldn't see a thing! Anyway we arrived safe and sound and enjoyed fireworks, a torch parade (skiers carrying torches skied down the mountain), Santa, hot chocolate and Carolers. It was so much stinkin fun! Emma loved the carolers. She was right up in front of them dancing her heart out. That kid has the moves! I'll try to upload the video of her. It may take awhile so keep checking back. That night Emma had a hard time because she couldn't understand why she had to be asleep for Santa and Rudolph to come. She wanted to show them her necklaces. Luckily all the hot cocoa and dancing wore her out. She was asleep as her head hit the pillow. On the subject of sleeping Ali is now (usually) sleeping in 8 hour stretches at night. WAHOOO! She is also to the point where we get her in her jammies, give her kisses and hugs and lay her down in her bed and she is out within a few minutes. Did I mention she has recently found her thumb. It is her very best friend. I always wanted a little chubbaroo who sucks their thumb. Hehe. Anyway Christmas Eve was so much fun. I think we are going to try to hit Snowbasin again next year! Thanks B and Jess for the invite!
