Christmas Eve

Love our Benihana Christmas Eve tradition.  Definately got my warm feeling.  Chase and Bryce had a great time too, and Chase loved the shrimp and salad.  He is my food lover.  

Writing a note to Santa.

Watching the night before Christmas on the I pad.

Bowling and Jungle Jims

Bryce bowling for the first time.  Bryce was all fun and games when it came to bowling.  And would do a little dance when he was thrilled with his bowl.

Chase's first time bowling was hilarious.  He took this sport super seriously.  He was so funny to watch after each bowl.  He would just walk back and punch his hands and say shoot or something when he wasn't pleased.  He did love it.  We will have to take him back and see if he lightens up which is so different than how he normally is with other sports.

 This ride took off like a shot gun, we had no idea.  Cole is cracking up at how fast it was going.  Luckily they only went a couple times around.

 Bumper Cars.  Not sure who is having the most fun.

 Competition is on with Grampy and the boys.

Happy 3rd Birthday Bryce!!

Happy Birthday to Bryce.  Can't believe he is already 3.  Bryce is the sweetest kid and keeps us on our toes.  He cracks me up every day with things he says, he picks up everything.  He is one smart cookie.  His voice is so cute right now, just want to bottle it up.  And for some reason he picked up a jersey accent with his r's, so his nickname during our Utah trip home was "The Situation".  You just never know what you were going to get with Bryce, going through a new 3 year old phase at the time.  But he has now settled down into his 3's, and is potty trained now as well.  Yeah!  Bryce loves his mom and dad and really loves Chase.  He also loves books and he is great at playing independently, he has a great imagination.  He also loves soccer and has a sweet tooth.  Love my little ninja turtle.  He is the "best kid ever", a Bryce line (replace kid with anything food or fun).

Silly String Fun

 Cute Cousins, they could pass as brother and sister.

Heber Creeper Polar Express (aka Bermuda Express)

 Thanks Grammy and Grampy for a fun ride on the Polar Express.  The kids had a great time, and it turned out to be a cute train ride after we peeled off all our layers of clothes. We were prepared for freezing temps and the temp on the train was steeming, no need for all the free hot chocolate.  Good Times.

Dad, looking good as a female elf.  Cole and I were having a hard time keeping it together with this shot.  Don't think you had any idea Grampy.

 Telling Santa that he would like a remote control helicopter for Christmas.
