Christmas day

Christmas day was A LOT less stressful than Christmas eve. Every year for the past 3 years we have had my dad, Gavin and Aliana over for breakfast.(I love this tradition!) And we ate homemade Cinnamon rolls (which is going to be a new tradition because they are so yummy) After we ate we played and opened gifts Kenzie just woke up and saw her stroller and was so excited to see it again.
Will gave me a massage, facial and pedi! 3 hours of totally relaxation! I can't wait!!! I need this every month
Gift cards for dinner and a movie for after the spa.
Will and his Joseph Smith book
My dad and the girls Aliana and Kenzie. I have the same one from last year and I can't believe how big they have gotten. (I should blog it).After they left we took long naps and never did get out of our PJs (well Kenzie tried on every new thing she got) it was a perfect day!

Christmas Eve

Okay so 1st the pictures are not in order but really who cares. We had a fun day a BUSY one too. We started the day at my moms with breakfast and came home for a little bit and tried to get naps.We then went to Will's moms and finished the maddest to our day. Here are the pictures. (Because I know that is the only reason you come on my blog anyways) Kenzie as an Angel for our play. Daddy got her dressed which is why she have her other dress on under this one.

Great Nana got Jordan the Cars Movie.
Uncle Richie and his new shirt. ON a side note if you want to enjoy your breakfast without the overwhelming smell of ketchup don't sit by him. I made that mistake and ketchup does not go on what we had.Funny story Mario went with his grandpa (he's Italian) and when he came home he came back with sausage. They are always trying to feed you Kenzie with her new stroller
All the Grand kids. I love that this is not perfect and is kind of crazy. I thought of Photoshoping it to make it perfect but I'm not going to this IS perfect.
Jordan, Papa and Rawson during the talent show.(I'll post video later) That was fun.
Mom and Dad Gibson singing for us
My brother gave us 150 pounds of fruit cake. Really He is a big fruit cake him self! Ha ha ha (I love you Mario)

Winter Haven

Every year we go to Winter Haven to look at the lights and this year was no different, EXCEPT, we went on a horse and carriage ride instead of driving. It was so FUN and COLD. The kids thought it was so fun and actually got to see most of the lights this way. Jordan saw The Simpson's Characters and said" look Daddy it's the naughty show" we must tell him he can't watch it cause it's naughty often. Here are some pictures. Kenzie,Aliana and Jordy
Papa (my dad) and Aliana
My brother Mario and my mom
And us with the horses.

WHAT I MENT!!!!

My WHOLE point was I was mad that Christmas is getting to be about gifts and less and less about Christ. That is it!! I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.. Sorry if I did. But sometimes people read what you write different than how you ment it to sound.

Look at him

I was sitting at my mom's looking at her pictures and what do I see. ONLY the COOLEST picture of Jordan ever!! This is him for the summer. We went swimming almost every day and he is good. This is his 3rd year in swim classes and he is starting swim team in April. Look at my little man. Can you believe he can do that?

Santa + Kenzie = no good

This weekend we went with our friends the Mack to take family pictures and have dinner. Here is the Mack's picture. They turned out so good. And they have the best baby. He was so good at dinner. Our kids well let just say Adam and Sam are in for a treat on our week long trip with them!
And this is us. Thanks to Photoshop both kids look GREAT!! And thanks to Sam for taking the picture and Adam for this fun idea. So after dinner we went to a little western cowboy show. And Kenzie did not like it. The guns were to loud and she just wanted out of there. It didn't help that she was on my lap and I jump every time the guns went off. So we then rode the train and Jordan was in Heaven(it was he hundrenth millionth time but who cares he loved it)

So as we were getting off the train we see Santa and better yet he is free to get a picture. We head over there wait in line for about 1 min walk up the stairs and Kenzie breaks down and starts crying. Or screaming she hated it. You would have thought she got shot. Last year she did the same thing. Well at least we got a picture so here it.
Our sweet family with Santa!

Things I know for sure

Since it is fast Sunday I thought I would let you all know 5 things I know for sure

1.Joesph Smith saw and spoke with Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. He saw them face to face.

2. Heavenly Father is real. A man of flesh and bones he knows me by name and loves me

3. Jesus lived and still lives. He suffered in the garden so I can have eternal life.

4. There is a prophet on the earth today who receives Revelation on how we as a people should be living our lives.

5. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true! All of it. I know it just like I know I'm alive. I don't doubt it and I am so thankful for a small boy who went and prayed to know what church to join.

Best Wedding ever

This has got to be the funniest 1st dance ever! I totally want to be these peoples friend.

GG's house and a wedding

We went to GG's on Sat and spent the day with her (Thanks for ditching us Amy.J/K) We had so much fun. The kids played a lot. And Jordan loved to say GG he must of said it 151 times for random things. It was so stinkin cute. I love going over there really she has the BEST junk food and since I was pucking all day Friday and lost 2 pounds I didn't care at all about how much I had. (I wish I felt up to eating a lot of the yummy goodness of it all) Now look close at this picture and see the hole in the tights, yes that happened while I was getting ready. William has no idea how and it happened in 10 mins. And we were on our way to a wedding and it was cold so she went like that. nice just nice. These are the kind of things that happen all the time before church.Who knows? She is a firecracker!
Jackson and Kenzie Loo.
GG and the kids
And Kenzie didn't get a nap so 30 seconds into the car ride this is what happened. So sweet! I just love that sweet little ball of fire!

Pumpkin pie girl

I made a pumpkin pie the other day and took it out of the oven and let it sit the two (long) hours it had to sit before I could enjoy it's yummy goodness. At one point I thought about moving it a little further back but didn't. I heard my sweet pumpkin girl saying yummy so I ran to see what she was yummying (not sure that is a word) about and this it what she did. That is her sweet little hand in my sweet little pie. She loved it and kept saying" yummy pumpkin pie,this is yummy." Of course she likes it. She is just like her mommy in every other way. Why wouldn't she like pumpkin pie. So I let her have it. Here are pictures of my sweet girl enjoying her 1st slice of pumpkin pie yummy goodness!
OH and that is homemade whip cream too! Yes I am THAT good!
