Colds and Snotty noses for Christmas

We all got little colds for Christmas. Mine was the worst, but I get sinus infections from colds. But I have to say, one of my pet peeves is the snotty, runny nose thing. I can't stand it when people just let there kids drip snot everywhere, and don't care. My husbands niece even stood over me licking the snot off her nose. (shiver) Just the thought gives me the willies.
Don't get me wrong, I love these kids, but I can't even handle my own kids having snot hanging everywhere, there is no way I am handling that from anyone else's.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning was so fun. I woke up to feed Alexandria at about 6 am. So I was kind of waiting for everyone to wake up. I was watching the tree thinking how beautiful the lights are. They make Christmas so magical. When I was little we would wake up at 3 am. Craig would wake me up then we would wake up my parents. So the Christmas tree lights and opening presents for me was always more magical when it was still dark outside. So....I woke up Aaron and the girls at 6:30. Aaron could tell his own version of those events. But, I will say when I sat and looked at him sleeping and called his name, he was freaked out enough he woke up with a "Good Night!" I think that was the exclamation he used. I couldn't stop laughing at that.

After we opened our gifts we went over to Grandma and Papa's house and had the Biesinger Christmas. The girls enjoyed themselves and it was a nice day.

Can you see that look that Allie has. That is the Gimme Gimme look. I think she liked her wrapping paper more than her actual gifts.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve at the Little America hotel with Grandma Bunny.

They had a magician/comedian there to entertain.

I love doing the girls hair. My princesses, looked adorable.

Christmas Decorations

The Biesinger Clan all went to Temple square to see the lights.

Ella went back and forth between Caleb and Brandon all night, holding their hands. Belle and Cassie were buddies and Daddy strolled Allie. I was making sure no one got lost. With that big of a group I am relieved we stayed together. The square was so crowded it was like New York.

The girls helped decorate this year, and Allie even rolled to the tree and pulled off her first ornament.

We had our annual friends party with Aarons buddies and their wives.

Lori had to hold a spoon on her nose for a while

These guys are a crack up.

We didn't put up all the Christmas decorations this year. But we love our Christmas Tree.

Dance Showcase

Isabelle and Gabriella had a little dance showcase at viewmont high school.

Here is the girls in their curlers getting ready for the show.

Ella did her little dance to Jingle Bells. Her little tap shoes had belles on the big red bows. I wish she would have shown everyone how good she was. She was so good and adorable when she practiced. But the first little part of the dance none of the girls did anything. But, after that they picked it up and it was really cute.

Belle did a really good job, her dance was to All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

The girls were so fun and adorable.




Santa Clause came and both girls were able to sit on Santa's lap. Their first time ever on Santa and Belle knew he wasn't the real one although she pretended he was.

I don't know what Ella thought, but she did really well.

St. George Tuacan

Our trip to St. George was pretty fun this year. We swam a little but it was cold. Allie didn't like being put away. She prefers to be held. Cute little thing.

We went to Tuacan and saw Tarzan. The girls LOVED it!! The gorilla's hanging upside down on zip lines and Tarzan zipping toward the audience it was so cool! LOVED IT!! Way good. This was the first Tuacan production I have really been impressed with. Ella is always asking if we can go see the Gorilla's again.

Snuggles

I just had the sweetest snuggles with my baby girl. I can't imagine anything better than that. My girls are my greatest gifts.

My favorite thing when Allie snuggles is her little face tucked up against my neck.

Honestly I am so blessed.
