Breakfast for Dinner

Aunt Paij and Uncle Brent came over to our house and made dinner for Terry and I with the kids. We got some free time alone (we raced Mario Cart of course) and they got some good time to play with our kids so that would know them better since they live so far away. Tayla was the table setter and Tyden was the supervisor.

Cypress was Brent's helper with making the French Toast mix. It was a very nice meal (French toast, hash browns, OJ, and Bacon) and fun to have some alone time with the Collins.

More with Hills

Happy NewYear!! We all loved staying up but we loved teasing Meiko with the horns most of all. We had lots of yummy food and fun!

Dad received Rock Band for our Wii from his parents and I. He loves it but he's definately not the only one. We all have a great time with it!

Aunt Krystal is very fun. She's always willing to play games with the kids and they love it!

I love my new dress from Aunt Jeni and leggings from Grandma. I don't mind the attention from the fashion show either! :)

Christmas at the Hills

I got a new sewing machine and I'm very stoked to use it. I already have my first project lined up (TaVaci of course).

Aunt Jeni and Uncle Jonathan gave me this cute dress and Grandma and Grandpa gave me the cute boots that I'm barely willing to take off to go to bed and must wear everyday!

I got lots of cool toys but seemed to like opening more than what I was getting (at the time that is). Now, I love playing with all of my new cool stuff!

Presents are cool to hold and chew on and rip open but I really like the ribbon. Okay, I just really like to smile!

Gramdma Kris got some new cool toys but the coolest part was getting to play with them with her!

Laughter!

No matter how hard we ALL try, no one can make Kasen laugh like Tayla can. The crazy thing is that she does very normal things that he seems to find hilarious. Note: She is only 5 and is reading to him! :)

Photo Shop

We have discovered that my Brother-in-law Brent is GREAT with Photoshop. He doctored our new family picture that we took on Chirstmas Eve-with 26 people it taks some work :)

My mom has decided that huge family pitures are her new art for the Holidays. So we took a Valentine's picture before the Collins left and Brent made that one amazing too! THis is Kasen and his cousing Morgan and a real rose my mom had in her yard. When we went to Sams CLub to get the pictures blown up, they asked if I had the copyright for this picture. We thought that was the ultimate compliment!!

The reason for the season

We acted out the Nativity Scene with our cousins. Tayla got to be Mary and did a great job. Bode was baby Jesus and was obsessed with watching Angel Cypress.

Special visitor

On Christmas Eve we had a visit from Santa Tyden thought he was great and asked for a boat. Kasen however, just asked to go back to mom. Cypress was very sweet and asked for a glass doll. Tayla wouldn't go anywhere near him but told Grandma to tell him she wanted a scooter.
