Temple Lights and Zoo

So we actually did the temple lights before Christmas but I just never got to putting them on here. But I did get them on before 2010 was over!

Brian, Reagan Bryson and I went to the Temple lights for a family activity. It's wonderful to go walk around the Temple grounds and take pictures at the temple. We really enjoyed the lights and Reagan enjoyed all of the nativities they had set up. Can't wait to go next year!

We took a trip to the Phoenix Zoo with my mom and Kaitlyn. It was a lovely day, not too hot and not too cold. We purchased the "Wild" tickets so we were able to pet sting-rays, ride the "endangered species" carousel and ride the Safari Train. We were able to see most of the animals before Bryson was hungry or the Zoo closed. Kaitlyn and Reagan were able to ride a Camal! How cool is that?? I thought Reagan would be scared but she loved it!

CHRISTMAS!!

We had a wonderful Christmas! Brian was able to come down for 2 weeks over Christmas break and we absolutely loved it! Reagan is terrified of Santa so when we said he was coming to our house at night time she didn't like that all! But she thought it was funny that we were leaving cookies, milk and turtles out for Santa. Reagan came to our room about 8, which was sleeping in for her, and was totally excited for all that she could see! We opened presents at our house then headed to GG's for breakfast and then to my moms for more presents!

excited to find all the candy!

2 months

Bryson had his 2 month check up last week and lets just say he never misses a meal! I believe he got 3 shots and of course he cried when they first poked him. As soon as I picked him up off the table he fell asleep. I think they drugged him ;)

Stats:

16 lbs 6 oz 25 in

"The Tank"

check out all them rolls :)

 He has officially out done Reagan when she was 2 months old. She weighed 11 lbs 1 oz at 2 months. If he doesn't slow down soon, I'm going to have some buff arms from his carseat!

Reagan also went to the doctor for her 2 year shots. She likes this doctor much more than she liked the one up in Fairbanks, AK. He doesn't have all the facial hair and he tried to make her laugh all the time. She was only scared of the nurse because she gave the shots. Only cried for a few minutes.

Stats:
34 lbs 38.5in

looks so big in the carseat

carousel with Brooke

fell down stairs at the park :(

loves making silly faces these days.

Ward Christmas Party

Our ward had our Christmas Party last night and it was a success! The theme was "how sweet is it" and all the decorations were supplied by a lady in our ward. Amazing!

We had a big dinner consisting of Ham, Rolls, Green Bean Cassarole, Potatoes and all sorts of desserts! It was all very delicious.

We also had a visitor surprise us. Any guesses on who it was?!

SANTA!

He came for all the kids to see and we tried it with Reagan but that poor girl almost had a heart attack she was SO scared. He talked to her and her whole body started to shake and she screamed! Her body continued to shake until we left the church. Poor girl! :( We will have to try the Santa thing every year so maybe she'll get use to him.
