Christmas

We had a Christmas Eve Eve Fiesta at the Eves home. It was so much fun to have all of Damon's family (-Chey) here to celebrate the season. We had a Cafe Rio style dinner and Grandma brought a pinata for the kids. They loved it. Then we had a good time laughing over a white elephant exchange. Thanks for the good time everybody.
We had Christmas Eve dinner with my family and opened up our Christmas Eve jammies. It was a nice night spent with good food and fun games. Its always fun to play games.



We did our very first Christmas morning at home. It was really nice. I wish I wouldn't have totally messed up breakfast. Oh-wait I forgot half the ingredients at my parents house so I don't know what to make. OOPS!!! I am glad that Miya and Damon are willing to put up with me and just have a bowl of cereal. (We had a great breakfast the next day though)

Miya is not even two yet and she already rolls her eyes at the dumb and crazy things I do.

Miya loved playing in the big pile of wrapping paper. Most of it was mine and Damon's mess. Miya took a day and a half to open all her presents. She wanted to play with, watch, try on everything that she opened. It was fun to watch her enjoy her presents.

We went to my parents house for the rest of Christmas day and almost had to stay the night. They got so much snow!

Miya loved her new presents, especially her wagon and her new bear. Thanks Grandmas and Grandpas!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We love you!

Frosty, Santa and Christmas Lights

I took Miya to the mall today to visit Santa. She was so excited and had been talking about it all morning. Even when we were in line to see him she couldn't wait to sit on his lap, but when my mom went to place her on his lap she decided Santa wasn't for her after all. She was so funny. She just sat there very suspicious of Santa. She wouldn't even crack a smile. Tonight we went to see the lights at Temple Square with Chelsea and Josh, Mike and Melissa, and all the kids. I wish it wasn't so cold. We could enjoy the lights so much more. We enjoyed a night of navajo tacos, lights and hot chocolate.









We have gotten quite a bit of snow this week and we couldn't resist playing in it. Miya and I went out and built our very own Frosty. Miya decided we should name her "Dosty the Noman." Now she thinks that everytime we go outside we should make another snowman.
