All the Cousins Together

By the afternoon everyone had arrived and it was time to open presents from Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents.  I loved this - so much chaos and smiles and anticipation and joy. 

Baby H. got pretty good at opening those presents.  This is a singing book that she really likes

Anna has her squishy pillow from Aunt Holly next to her and she is opening her present of nail polish etc. in a make up bag from Aunt Penny

Anna's present from Grandma and Grandpa- we love playing this game for FHE

This is the aftermath.

Christmas Morning

We had a beautiful Christmas Day in Shelley.  We started Christmas morning with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Penny and all the Milletts. 

It was wild, crazy, exciting

Baby H. thought we started a little too early :)

Anna was most excited about her ladybug pillow pet from Santa. Her and Hailey got the same one and Santa left them on top of their presents.  I missed taking a picture of the moment, but here is a picture of  Baby H. with said lady bug.

Baby H. loves the Antennae

Sharing Christmas morning with Hailey was so fun.

A princess snuggie, what more could a girl ask for?

Opening the Olivia house/pirate ship-big present

Christmas morning chaos as Grandpa tries to contain the garbage.

Baby H. opening her first present with Daddy's help. 

Anna's Birthday

On Christmas Eve (Anna's birthday) we went to Leo's in Idaho Falls for Anna's birthday with her cousins. This place is awesome. It is a cross between Chuck E. Cheese (pizza and arcade) and a McDonalds (a playland to beat all playlands with burgers/sandwiches and fries) The best part is that the arcade is down the hall and the playland is enclosed in glass, so the eating area is not insanely loud.  Anna and the cousins had a fantastic time. 

Daddy hands over cash for the arcade.  I'm afraid this will not be the last transaction of this kind between these two

Later she opened presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house.   She was very excited for presents

Soooooooo excited to open a Tangled doll.

She told me later that Rapunzel was her favorite present of all

We decided to wait to eat the cake until Hailey and Connor got there.  It was a cool cake in the shape of a butterfly made out of cupcakes.
It was a great birthday thanks to Aunt Penny and Grandma Linda!

Visiting with Great Grandma Pattee

On the way to Christmas in Shelley we got to stop by and visit with Great Grandma Pattee.  It was Baby H's first time to see Grandma.  We caught her by surprise and she hadn't done her hair, so she'll have to forgive us for posting pictures.  We think she still looks fantastic!  She did a neat song with H.  Grandma has all sorts of tricks up her sleeve.

I can't get the video of Grandma's song to work, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
