Haley and Hannah in their Christmas Dress before church
all the kids loved playing in the tent that grandma got for them
such a cutie
the kids started playing ring around the rosy but it ended with them sing frosty the snowman instead of ring around the rosy.
One night we went to go see the Temple lights they were beautiful. These are just a few of my favorite pictures.
We started our Christmas Eve off by going to jumping jacks. The girls love going there (and it gets a ton of energy out)
We ate dinner
then we had a treasure hunt
at the end of the treasure hunt we opened some pjs
followed by me reading them "The Night Before Christmas"
and finally Uncle Mike told the kids the story of the first Christmas. 
Everyone had so much fun it was hard to get to sleep. :)
I love seeing Haley's face when she sees everything under the tree. It makes me so happy.
Our tree...
Hannah wasn't so into opening her presents after she got the goodies out of her stocking. Her sister had no problem helping her out though. 
They loved everything they got.

Eating breakfast.... 
Making sugar cookies
This is was not on Christmas it was the last night we were in Utah. I just love how cute they are together. 
WARNING GRUESOME DETAILS
Can you believe that this happy girl...
did this?
We were at John's work party. It was at a bowling ally. The kids had their own lane and we thought everything was going to be really fun. Haley had just been bowling and I was holding Hannah and it was John's turn to bowl and Haley came running out of the arcade crying. When she got to me I asked her what was wrong and she told me she fell and hit her head and it hurts. She showed me where and when I looked at it the cut was gushing blood her shirt was soaking wet and I was still holding Hannah so I put Hannah down called John over and he pretty much took over. He grabbed the cut and applied pressure until the ambulance got there. Well they ended up telling up that it might be better for us to take her to an urgent care instead of them taking her to an emergency room (they are horrible here the wait would have been hours). So we drove Haley to the urgent care and they told us that the cut was too deep for her to get stitches so he had to staple her head shut. Which seems really bad but it took less staples then it would have stitches and it took way less time. They numbed her up first and then did a few practice shots without the staples to make sure she was totally numb. Then they closed the cut up with 3 staples and all Haley said was "daddy that feels weird". I had to leave the whole building. I didn't want to start crying in front of Haley and get her upset. Now we have to keep reminding her to play softer because we don't want her to open up the cut again or pull out any of the staples. She is doing very well though she seems to be playing as usually and is very happy. What a tough little girl.
Haley's first day of preschool was today. She will be going in the mornings Tuesday thru Friday. It is official Haley loves school. Her teacher said she did great the only problem was during sit down time... when she sat down her pants ripped. She could have cared less. They have you bring in a pair of clothes for the class room so she had an extra pair of pants that she put on and all was well.
First day picture
When we were parked at the school she kept saying "That's my school, that's my school" it goes without mentioning that she was very excited to be there. 
once Hannah and I got back in the car Hannah was looking everywhere for Haley and holding up her hands like where's Haley. Sad for Hannah she loves being with Haley all the time. Haley is Hannah's idol and Haley is Hannah's favorite person to pick on. 
All Haley has been talking about is going to Grandma's and Santa coming for weeks now and yesterday we went to the outlets and they had their big Christmas Tree (it is suppose to be the largest of it's kind in Arizona) and they also had a santa with his sleigh set up so the kids could get on it. Haley loved it. Yes, it is bright we are in Arizona after all.

Loving her M&Ms

John always sporting his Hekking shirt!
Daddy and the girls trick or treating. Haley thought the cat was scary (so innocent, I love it).

I really think that the girls favorite part of the night was handing out candy to the other kids. They would answer the door and give the kids hands full of candy and then yell HAPPY HALLOWEEN as they left. Haley couldn't wait until the next bunch knocked on the door she kept saying "I think some more kids are here get the candy get the candy". Seriously I think Halloween is so much better when you have kids. They remind you have how exciting it all is.
Our ward had their trunk or treat last night. The girls had so much fun dressing up and seeing everyone else dressed up.
This is the best family photo that we got but here we are. Haley is Snow White, Hannah is Dopey, John is the Handsome Prince, and I am the evil queen. 
Haley was so excited she was just running from car to car and in between she was saying "this is so much fun" or "mommy I want more candy". 
Hannah was so happy and so sweet she was saying "tick teat" to everyone and then she would say "tank you".
The girls loved sitting in the back of the van eating all their candy after they were done. So cute!
