Small things for a Birthday!

This was probably Josh's most depressing birthday. I was in so much pain, that we couldn't really do a date night. Plus, the night of his birthday, we had a friend from the ward bringing us dinner, so he didn't get to pick his favorite dish. I also was not able to run to the store and buy him a present, so I had to send my mom to pick up something. He didn't get his favorite cake either, because I couldn't handle making it and I didn't want my mother to add one more thing to her to-do list!! But we did buy a cake and there were candles!! Helping Daddy blow out his candles!!

Showing off a new pair of shoes (from my parents) and an Ipod shuffle (from me)!

Sorry, babe! Next year I will make it up to you and give you an awesome birthday!!

Merry, Merry Christmas!!

This Christmas, we stayed home! Since we don't technically have our own home, we were able to enjoy lots of time with all my family. We did a lot of sitting around this Christmas, since I was in too much pain to do anything else. It was very relaxing, but very uneventful!

Opening presents with the cousins! My brother and his family spent the holiday in northern California, so we swapped presents the Monday before.

Oh no, kissing cousins...

...and hugging cousins!!

Opening the one christmas eve present!!

New pajamas! Yeah!

Waiting for Uncle Nick, so the girls can come down and see the presents!

Waiting for Papa to get the video camera ready.

New Toys! The girls got a kitchen for christmas.

Sadee even got a new helicopter!!

Official Michael Weston Sunglasses!

We bought these for my brother for Christmas! If you have never seen Burn Notice on USA, you are missing out. Nick reminds us of the main character so we couldn't help it, and bought him the special sunglasses!

The Nativity Story (Joy School Style)

For Joy School, Jayla and her friends were able to learn and perform the Nativity Story. They did an amazing job. They performed at a nursing home and Jayla was the only one to sing all the songs. We, also, had a christmas party one evening so the dads could see the performance. Jayla was a Wiseman!Pointing to the star!

Let's Go to the Movies!!

My dad took my husband to a chargers game one night, and us girls couldn't stand the thought of staying home alone with the little ones! So we went and saw tangled at the movie theater!! The girls loved the show, and we just had to keep feeding Sadee snacks to keep her happy. I was in serious pain by the end of the night, but it was worth it to experience their first movie in the theaters! Glued to the screen!! This is how they looked most of the movie!!

Playing with the hands-on movie displays!!

Fashion Model in the making!

Christmas on Ice!

My mom's really good friend got us tickets to a ice skating show. The girls loved it and during the intermission, they were able to ride on the Santa train. It pays to have a hook-up with the director of the show. They had so much fun!

The girls are in the Lions carriage!

They even got clown noses.

Nana and Jayla during the show!

Sadee's First Hair cut!

My good friend, Emily, came over one day to cut my hair, and I figured I might as well get the girls' hair cut as well. Sadee really hated the experience and even sitting on my lap with candy in her mouth, she cried the entire time. So funny!!

Cute new hair-do! Too bad she refused to smile!!

Jayla sweeping up the mess! What a helper!!
