Catch up

The business of the holidays got to me and I have not posted for awhile! We had a great Holiday complete with dance parties, a family Christmas Eve pageant, birthday cake, and of course grandparents, oh and a visit from Santa. Our ward had a dance contest Christmas party. My kids are dancing machines! It was Caden's type of party we actually let him lose to run around with a ton of other kids and dance. He also somehow figured out that he was supposed to dance with girls and he would chase several of them and even got in a bit of a two year old scuffle over a little three year old. Hopefully this is not a peek into our future! Our family Christmas Eve Pageant was, well a family pageant. When you add 3 one year olds, a two year old, and two dogs things get interesting. Caden was a shepard who willingly put on a costume only to rip it off and run away when it was his turn to be on stage. We ended the night all sitting around singing Christmas carols. We enjoyed Christmas morning, Sophia got in to opening gifts, Caden of course by now is a pro at it. In fact so much that he decided he wanted more toys so he started ripping open anything he could get his hands on. We had a Strawberry Shortcake berry princess party for our one year old. She of course enjoyed the attention. She did not dig into the cake like we wanted he to. She was very dainty and princess like. After we gave her taste in her bowl though things got messy!
That pretty much sums up the Holidays for us. Lots of time with family, good food, and fun. Now that is a holiday if you ask me. I hope everyone had a great holiday and is enjoying this new year!
