Christmas

This is the tree on Christmas morning! Paxton woke up about 6:30am and we fed him and we were so excited we couldn't go back to sleep! I totally expected Caiden to wake up early, but he didn't-we had to wake him up at 7:30 cause we just couldn't wait any longer!

We knew the phone would be a big hit! He is constantly picking up my phone and "talking" on it. he loved it!

Caiden can't wait to test out the sled! He also got a playdough fun factory, transformer, and the game Operation, just to name a few. I had to work from two to ten so when I left for work the boys all headed to Grandma's house for dinner and more presents!

Jayson got me a brand new shiney blue mountain bike! It was totally unexpected and a great surprise. I hope I can find the time to ride it with him this summer. Jayson got a blue ray player and a shirt and tie. It was a pretty good day!

Caiden turns 5!!!

Caiden was so excited to celebrate his birthday this year cause he was turning 5!! We sent out the invites to his cousins to join us for a party at the Fun Center (bounce houses, skating, and pirates cove for those of you not knowing what the Fun Center is). We got to the Fun Center that night and to our dismay, it was closed for a private party! I was furious, but luckily kids can roll with the punches so we regrouped and decided Arctic Circle would have to work as a back up! Caiden wanted a scooby doo birthday cake so I looked to the trusty Internet for ideas! He absolutely loved it!

I love to decorate and make these fun cakes-makes me feel like a real mom! The biggest pain about this cake was changing colors-it was more time consuming than I thought it would be, but definitely turned out cute!

Present time!! He got this cool steering wheel with cars that shoot out of it from Aryana and Josie.

Grandpa Wayne sent along this dump truck and transformer.

Jayson and I got him a bunch of nerf guns off KSL for really cheap! They were a huge hit and all the kids had to take turns shooting them! He loved them! Grandma and Grandpa Wadsworth gave him a target to shoot at. Also, not pictured was some dinosaurs from Brooke and some awesome Tonka coloring books from Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen!

Love this pic of Caiden's face! Wish Paxton was old enough to play with the guns too!

First Annual Cousins Sleepover!!

My sweet mom thought it would be fun to have a cousin sleepover at her house-she sent out invitations to the kids, made them all a set of matching pajamas and invited Santa too! We all had dinner first and then Santa came to surprise the kids! This was a really fun night because even though we all live within about 15 min of each other, we don't get together very often. The kids love to play together and my mom was worried that they would all be too excited to go to sleep, but all went well and she has plans to do a second annual cousin sleepover! This is all the cousins in thier matching pajamas-we had to take Paxton home with us cause my mom thought he would be too hard-can't say I blame her for that! You never know if he's going to make it through the night, although I am pleased to report that he has made a vast improvement!

Mom had Santa give the kids candycanes and their pajamas-he even knew all their names and something about the kids too so it was extra special!
