Nights with Neens, Christmas, Friends and More...Pretty Much a catch -up post!

I have been a sorry excuse for a blogger the past

few months. But in my defense, for some reason

my pictures have taken 2.2 billion years to load

on blogspot. Tonight they are loading ever so

nicely though! Thank you blogspot. This post

is going to be a long one but it is my catch-up

post so here we go! Clayt has been crazy busy

with school this semester and so Anna and

I are pretty much all alone at nights.. We miss

him but have been having some much needed

girly girl time at nights. Anna is miss personality

and comes up with the funniest things. She

is way into music. Not only does she sing

I am a Child of God or Jesus Wants me

for a Sunbeam over and over again but she

is also well versed in Blink 182, Rihanna, Taylor

Swift and even Michael Jackson! She remembers

any song she hears on the radio and it is

pretty funny. The worst part about that

is when you are at Wal-Mart waiting to check

out and your daughter starts singing

I kissed A Girl and everyone hears her.

Horror. We are working on that. Our current

addiction, passion, (whatever you call it is)

Mario Kart for the Wii. Anna is amazing at this game.

She uses the steering wheel and chooses baby

peach every time. She pretty much rocks the 50cc

courses. (Mario Kart Lingo) When Clayt & I

ever play, she shows us "shortcuts and tricks".

I was way impressed.

Here we are in between one of our Mario Kart races. Love her.

Anna & her steering wheel. She gets her game face on for the races.
For some reason that night, she would only play while standing

on her stool... haha. This is Anna for you.

I really think she could handle driving a car!

I tried to convince her to get serious for some pics and this is

what she gives me. Still cute though! She loves to do my hair.

Then I told her to make a peace sign for the camera. She couldn't quite

figure it out but now she has got it down!

My little Mario Kart Princess!

Anna and I decided to do makeovers one night. She

always loves to put on my eyeshadow while she

is sitting in the bathroom watching me get ready

every morning. So I decided I would let her put

makeup on me one night. It was very interesting

to say the least! She loves the blue eyeshadow!

We put our headbands on to get the hair

out of our face and had a good ole time.

She really is such a little girl. She loves everything girly. It

makes for fun times though. I love having a girly girl.

Beautiful. The camera loves us.

Love the blue eyeshadow.

Our Zoolander pose.

Anna's cute little friend Kate Blasdell has been coming over to play

a lot with us lately. They only live three houses down and Anna

is constantly asking me to call Brady (not Jill haha) or "text"

Brady to see if Kate can come play. They play

really well together and are the funniest lil

girls.

So cute in their little snow outfits. :)

Finally, our Christmas pictures! Two months later isn't bad... right?

We went to Indiana this year to visit my parents. We had a ton

of fun as usual but we were lousy picture takers. Here is

the pics I did manage to take though.

Our Christmas Eve tradition is to make homemade pizzas and rootbeer

floats. Everyone gets their own personal pan pizza and decorates

it any way they want. We always try to outdo each other and

have our pizza be the best pizza. Here is a picture of our three pizzas!

Here is my lil Bro Stevie Wevie. He is not so little anymore. He loves

pizza time :)

Anna & my littlest brother Dyl working on their pizzas. Anna

just loved it.

Our fam on Christmas Eve. If only Anna was smiling... can't have it all.

There we go! Cutie pie Neens.

Anna got a ton of dress up for Christmas from Grandma Heidi. She

loved to dress up and run around like she was a little fairy. I

liked to pretend I was one too. haha. She would start at the top of these stairs and then jump to the

bottom saying she was "flying"She would always stand at the top and announce some big long spiel

before she took the plunge.

Anna & Grandma Heidi. She loves her

Grandma Heidi. This is one of the only pictures I got!

I'm so mad. I need to be better at this especially since

I only see my family like once a year.

This is Anna's cute doll house she got for Christmas. She

LOVES this thing. The funniest thing is when she cons

Clayt to come play with her and I listen to him act out

the dolls. HILARIOUS.

Steve sporting his new chair AND his SUU sweatshirt! He loves

this school and he wants to go to it and live by his sister.... (I'm crossing

my fingers..??)

My family and us at the Thai food restaurant. Clayton got my

family hooked on Thai. We ate there twice in 5 days! Love it

Love it Love it. For some reason nobody was pumped about

me taking the picture....

Anna & Grandma Heidi.

We had a great holiday with my family. Sorry for the long post but now

I can sleep at night knowing I have not left anything out. :)
