Christmas Lights

Last night we went to the christmas village in Ogden. It was a perfect night to go with little children. It was not too cold and not too crowded. As we were getting ready Kamree said,"Mom I don't want to wear this stupid hat." So I asked her why and she said that people would make fun of her. I told her that her hat is there to keep her ears warm and that it is very cute with princesses on it. That was that and we got in the car to go to the lights. While I was trying to find a parking spot Kamree says," Oh I get it every one wears stupid hats here. At least they can't make fun of me." It was so funny to me and I thought I would share it. I love Kamree so much. She is getting so big(almost 5) and helps me so much. She is such a great big sister and I would die without her. Lucy of course loved the lights. I feel like Lucy loves almost everything we do. She is so full of life and energy. My life would not seem as fun without my Luc! Maggie was so stinkin independent that Mom and I were going crazy, we were so worried she was going to fall on her face. She had so much warm stuff on and the side walk was so uneven, but she did fine. I love to watch Maggie grow and want to be big like her sisters. We had such a fun time last night and it was extra special to be there with my Mom and Dad. Happy Holidays!!!

I love this time of year!

Last night we had our first family Christmas party. It was a lot of fun and the girls loved getting and giving a gift. It was very hard for Lucy to give up the present we picked for Spring’s little girl. Every time I told her it was for her cousin she would get really mad. I was a little nervous, but it turned out great. We had fun with Santa and the girls were very excited to see him. I know we have a few more parties and that is what makes this time of year so fun. I don’t really care for the present part, each year I get a little sick about how much money is spent. It probably would not be so bad if I had a husband who stayed in the budget. He loves to buy me a ton of gifts. That makes it impossible to keep up. The part I love is seeing my family and spending fun time with them. Last night Clint’s Grandma started to cry as she looked around at her family. We asked her what was wrong and she said that she was just happy to have her family around. We are all so lucky to have such great families. I know I would be lost without mine. So I want to sit back and enjoy all the time I will get with mine over the next few weeks. I feel very blessed to have all that I have and to have all of you. What a great season this is.

A very special Santa

What a fun Santa!!!! He was so funny and did such a great job. I sure love that Santa if you know what I mean!


This is probably one of the worst pictures of me, but it was so dang cute of Maggie. She was not scared at all. I think she just thought her daddy was dressed funny. I think she heard his voice. Don't look at me just look at Maggie.




Lucy would not even look at Santa. That didn't bother me because I was so worried she might know him.

Sisters are so fun

Well I have to say I love you Rindi, but I had no idea that you had found my blog. I started it a couple days ago, but was not ready to share it with everyone. Sunee called me and asked if I had started one yet and I said, "Yes, but I am not ready for anyone to see it." That was that, until I was on Rindi's blog and saw my name on her friends. So I guess that pushed to get going. Not that Stalee@blogspot was so secret I just thought no one would think to try. It is snowing right now and it feels like Christmas time. I feel sorry for people who don't see snow around the holidays. Even when we lived in St. George we would visit to cold weather for Christmas. I love snow!!! Hopefully it will keep coming until Christmas day. So that everyone coming out of town will be able to enjoy this fun weather.

One of our favorite traditions around the holidays is to watch every possible Christmas show and make some fun treats. One night we were watching Charley Browns Christmas and I thought the girls looked so cute. I love being a mother!

Snow is finally here!!!!!

Lucy and Kamree were so excited to finally have snow. Thanks to Grandma Debi for buying them their winter clothes last year. You don't really need that kind of stuff in St. George.
