• Wednesday morning was Christmas Eve...aka Todd's 37th Birthday! He wanted to open his presents first thing after he woke up. Love this guy! He really is an amazing dad and husband. 

• He decided to take the girls skiing with him for his birthday!

• While the rest of family was skiing, Bodee and I finally make some Christmas cut out cookies...it only took until Christmas Eve. Once again, tired, tired pregnant mama.
• After Todd and the girls got home we picked up his parents and went out to dinner at Hibachi house. Chinese for Christmas Eve. If you know Todd you know it is his favorite.

• After we got home we read the Christmas story from the scriptures as well as some of our other favorite stories. The kids also opened the gift they gave each other. Addy gave Bodee "How to Train Your Dragon 2". Brynn gave Addy an art set and Bodee gave Brynn a play dog that has a car.
• Merry Christmas to my Favorite Kids!

•  The kids worked hard and decorated cookies for Santa Claus.

•  Santa came!

•  Christmas morning we waited until Grandma and Grandpa Bassett came over and then we opened presents!
• Bodee received a DS/case/games, Imaginext castle, dragon, knights, Imaginext Joker House, Baymax t-shirt, Superman and Batman legos, Superman cape, Hungry Hippos
• Brynn received a DS/case/games, guitar stand, girl Legos, Heelies, roller blades, telescope and microscope, Jenga
• Addy received DS/case/games, girl Legos, soccer pants and Surf backpack, Kindle paperwhite, Tys, Battleship

•  Playing Jenga on Christmas afternoon.

•  Late Christmas afternoon Todd's parents came back over and I cooked a ham dinner for us. We watched movies, played games, and spent the day together. 
• Christmas evening selfie. 

•  Todd went into work for a few hours on Friday so I took the kids over to the Children's museum. The girls really wanted to do the high ropes course again. 

•  Sibling love! Besties!

•  We finally got snow on Christmas Day so the kids went out to play the next day. Here they are trying to sled down the tiny hill at the neighbors house. 

•  Friday night Todd's dad was kind enough to offer the watch the kiddos while we went out to dinner for our 9th Anniversary at Mi Ranchitos. 9 years with this guy! All I can say is he had me laughing to tears so many times this year. I appreciate that he is still so funny to me. I can't imagine my life without this stud:)

•  Superman is ready! Cute four year old boy!

•  I got a few of Todd's friends together on Saturday night to celebrate his birthday. We met up with Shawn/Katie, Rob/Jen, Ben/Lisa for a game of bowling and dinner at Chilis. It had been a long time since we've hung out with that group and so it was really good to see everybody. Todd even rocked it and bowled a 190! Too bad I didn't get any other pictures of the night:(
