good old nickel cade

Anyone else in a serious blog rut? Not much has been going on but even when something IS going on I'm not in the mood to blog about it. But nonetheless I'm finally making a post. 

My family is always wanting to go and do something different. With Monday being a holiday and everyone having it off except grandpa and Jared we decided to go and play. We all met up for lunch at the Philadelphian and then headed over to nickel cade for an afternoon of games. Londynn was of course skeptical of the games at first but eventually warmed up and gave them a shot, Boston was in heaven as expected. He thought it was so cool that we let him push all the buttons and play with the balls. It amazing how two siblings can be so different. 

Christmas....better late than never

Santa proof

We had our ward Christmas breakfast this last Saturday. I knew santa would be visiting but I was pretty sure we wouldn't be seeing him because londynn has been scared of him in the past. My thoughts were correct when in walked santa and Londynn began to cry because she didn't want to sit on his lap. We assured her that she didn't have to go see him; however, a few minutes later I noticed that she was breaking out in a rash all over and thought we better leave (we think she had an allergic reaction to something she ate, but who knows). We picked up our things ready to leave and she threw a fit because she wanted to go see santa.  I thought for sure we would wait in line and when it got to be our turn she would chicken out, but nooooo, she marched right up there and sat on his lap. What a surprise!!  Boston on the other hand, a total different story. He wasn't to fond of Santa.

Cooookies!!!

Londynn came down with a fever the night we were supposed to decorate sugar cookies with our friends so when she finally started feeling better we pulled out the icing and cookies.  Grandpa Clark you should feel lucky we didn't see you right after she decorated that big gingerbread man, she was saving it just for you. :) I think there was more icing than cookie. Poor gingerbread man didn't make it to grandpa's house, he visited the garbage can instead.

My little helpers

This little pink vacuum was the best day after Thanksgiving purchase.

Bostons new favorite toy.

Do as I'm doing......

.....follow follow me. Meet my little shadow. She says her name isn't Londynn anymore it's Allison. I was laying on my bed talking to Jared and she crawled up right next me and assumed the same position. What a cutie!!

Temple Square

It's been quite a few years since I have been to temple square to see the Christmas lights and since Londynn is really into the lights and temples we decided this year would be a good year to take a trip downtown. We thought we might be making a mistake going today because it was the Christmas devotional; however, we found parking that we otherwise wouldn't have found because of the devotional.  We pretty much beat the rush both coming and going from downtown which was perfect.  It's been hard getting into the Christmas spirit this year because it's been so warm; however, I wasn't complaining tonight when the temperature was bearable.
