CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

We started off Christmas morning being woken up by Chase. He was so excited Santa came he couldn't handle it. He did actually wait quite awhile, we didn't start too early. First was the Alexander house. We had so much fun opening gifts. We didn't have to move, Chase handed them out to everyone he couldn't sit still. Peyton loved opening her presents. Chase loves trains... obsessed even. This year he got a Christmas train just like Grandpa's. He was so excited. We all had a great morning together and were very blessed.

Our first married Christmas!





After presents, breakfast, more gifts... we went to the Madsen house! It was again, lots of fun. We all sat around and opened gifts one by one (which was new for me). It was nice to see what everyone got. Then after that we went to Grandma Hubbards for Christmas dinner. We ate, they shook the house by playing dance dance revolution and jumping/dancing like crazy, and Grandma gave all the girls super soft bath robes. She had all of us model them for her (I wish I got a picture).

Coby's mom has been wanting quilting frames for YEARS, so we were able to get some made for her.

All the kids got laser tag guns to play with in the desert or at a park. Fun gift!

Coby and Landon Christmas night.



We had a wonderful Christmas, but the day flew by. I hate how fast it goes once it finally comes. We were very blessed to be around so much family. It was Great!

ZOO LIGHTS (trip 1)

I haven't been to see the zoo lights in about 12 years! This year I got to go twice!!! All of the Madsen kids got to go to the zoo together. We were missing Brian and Beckie because it was the day after their wedding. It was lots of fun and the lights were beautiful.







Welcome to the sting rays. This family spent probably near an hour or more with the sting rays. They all swear it was the coolest thing. I was out with baby Landon who was sleeping. They all looked like 4 year olds in a toy store. They loved it. And they made it for feeding time and were able to feed the sting rays fish heads.... YUCK! I gladly stayed with Landon.

We all had a great time and it was fun to all just be together. After lights we went back to mom and dad Madsen's to play one of MANY LONG nights of mafia. We had a blast!

Congratulations Brian and Beckie

I have so much to catch up on! We had such a busy holiday! First all of the Madsen family came in town for Brian and Beckie's wedding! It was so much fun to see everyone, and the wedding was wonderful. They both were so happy! We are excited for you guys!




YAY!!! You're married!!



Rainy's little boy David. He was so cute in his suit. All he wanted to do all night was just dance with someone. I think we danced for about 5 songs til I got tired.


The boys!


The whole wedding party!


This was not preventable with these two. It was bound to happen. (she started it)



Congratulations you guys!
