Smile for the camera!


Things were going pretty well when I decided we finally needed to get some cute holiday pictures to use as ornaments. We didn't buy holiday clothes, but we dressed cute and curled hair etc.. Rieley and Morgan have finally reached an age where they were cooperating and even excited for pictures.

Isn't that a pretty picture? She's growing up into such a pretty young lady!

And look at Morgan, she's gorgeous too. I love her smile. She's always so happy and silly.

Of course! We can't have everything go smoothly. Leyton is my happiest daughter.....except when I want to take sweet pictures. Why is she upset, you ask? Is she tired? Dis she fall and get hurt? Are her sisters beating her up? No, she just wants to take the picture herself. I'm not sure she'd be in it if she was taking it. So now we have some pictures with only Rieley and Morgan together......and some with a grumpy little lady. Those are now our Chrismas ornaments.


This is one that Rieley wanted to take. She also went all over the entire house taking pictures of the decorations. She wants to be big so bad.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Santa Claus made a special trip into West Point to light the lights at City Hall. It was so cool when he showed up on top of the fire truck.


Not one of them is crying! A Christmas miracle! They were all actually anxious to see him. Even Leyton kept pulling on my hand(or "mono") as she says. I think that she caught sight of the candy canes he was giving out. Never the less, it was a good Santa Claus visit.

Even Daddy is excited. What will he ask Santa for for Christmas? I don't want to know.

Morgan is so easily excited. What a simple, happy life.

Christmases long ago...

This is our Christmas of 2007. We visited the lights at the Mesa Temple.

Here we are trying to fit the whole family into a close picture after we decorated the tree together.



What sweet little helpers we had. They were just getting to the right age to enjoy Christmas and get excited about Santa coming.

The ghosts of Christmas past

This was Christmas of 2006 just before Leyton was born. Ahhhh what sweet memories.



This is still 2006 when the girls were trying to buils a gingerbread house. Morgan just wanted to eat the candy, but Rieley was really into it.

The first year that Rieley didn't cry!
