Christmas Vacay Week 2

Well looks like week 2 is over and 1 more week until Craig leaves. We've been having a lot of fun visiting with family, friends, and old wards. We're so glad we could come out and see everyone; also because the snow is really coming down back in Maine, so we get a break of it :)


Wyatt and Jaycee playing all night when we went over to their house. I'm glad they still remember each other


Wyatt was about to take a bath before bed and Jaycee saw him get in and she insisted that she take one too. This will be funny to show them one day when they get older. Funny thing is that they have taken baths many times. Jaycee thinks Wyatt is so funny.




Craig's family celebrates their Christmas on Christmas Eve since all the families have things going on the next day. We had such a fun night and I was so glad Jaycee was in a good mood and happy for everyone. We got to eat yummy food including chick-fil-a nuggets, chili's egg rolls, little smokies, pasta salad, rolls, 7 layer jello, and Dana's famous Cool Whip Fudge! Jaycee got some fun gifts from everyone. She was so excited to open up her presents from everyone.

One of my favorite pictures! Craig, Daddy Parker, Jaycee


Santa found Jaycee in Roy. We were nervous he would get confused as to which house he visited. I guess we'll see when we go back home to Maine if he visited our house.


Craig excited for his gifts


Luckily we didn't have to wake up early for Jaycee. Instead I couldn't sleep and woke everyone else up. She ended up getting out of bed around 8:30


Jaycee opening her gifts from Santa


I love my new scarf and shirt


After we opened presents from Santa we headed to my parent's exciting house to hang with the family. We drew Aimee & Kyle's family and Jaycee drew Wyatt's name. They had to leave @4 to go to Kyle's parent's house so I had to hurry and take pics before they left. Wyatt loved his Toy Story gift and especially the Reese PB Cup I taped on the front.


Aimee looks so cute with her 9 month self! Can't wait to meet Oaklee Jo!


Wyatt shoved a whole PB cup in his mouth!


One of Jaycee's outfits from Grandma & Grandpa Allen. Cute!

Christmas Vacay Week 1

It's already been a week! Time flies when you're having fun! The flight went well and Jaycee did pretty good for it being her first time. 6 1/2 hours is a long time for a toddler. We didn't hit any bad weather and everything went really smooth. We've done a lot since we got here and visited with a lot of friends & family. Poor Jaycee has had a rough go of it. She doesn't like going to ANY ONE unless it's a little kid. Also she had a fever one day and today has been crying all morning. We're thinking she might be cutting her last 4 molars. Poor girl. Thank goodness for Mitsy puppy who makes her happy no matter what.


Here is Craig at his mom & dad's house making dinner for us. Navajo Tacos! Yummy. His parents have been so kind to let us stay with them and let us use their car.


Jaycee with Grandpa Parker


She adores her pa-pa. She'll go around the house looking for him and giving him high 5's.


On Thursday I was very lucky to go to the Morman Tabernacle Choir concert w/David Archeletta. We had a girl's night with mom, dawn, aimee, and me :) We enjoyed dinner @ Panda Express and then walked from Gateway to the Conference Center. Aimee was a trooper to walk that far. (Mom, Dawn and Aimee) I have pretty sisters and mommy


Ah look at that cute mommy glow. Aimee w/her cute prego self. Can't wait to meet Oaklee Jo!


That's never a dull sight! I'll miss seeing this for sure!


Jaycee is pretty much obsessed with Toy story. Here is she is watching with Kaila and Parker on Grandma's bed


We decided on Friday to do the traditional candy making night. It was a blast and we got to see Dalynne's basement finished. She's got a nice big house. One day...one day :)
(Rylee & Kortnee)


Dawn's girls were such good helpers. They're at such a fun age and want to do exactly what the girls are doing. Here is Dalynne with Kaitlynn and Kortnee baking...both the girls helped me make those cookies!


Jaycee & mommy cooking also! I'm wearing my new Bears beanie Craig got me for Christmas! Go Bears!


Dawn making divinity


Me and Kenna. She's such a cute little girl. Last time I saw her she was just barely crawling! She reminds me of a cute tiny mouse.


Dalynne making pretzels and peanut clusters. Jason in the background making fun of us as usual :)


Saturday we went shopping before our dinner. Jaycee had so much fun with Rylee. Here is their before picture


After shopping...


We had our traditional Christmas dinner/Kyle's birthday party. We changed it up this year and went to Eastern Winds. It actually was pretty good. I was impressed. It just wasn't the same without Dathan & Kellie. They were missed!
Here is Wyatt & Kyle. We shared their table with them.


Wyatt--love him!


The whole group chowing on chinese food


Jaycee even thought it was delicious. yummy!


I made Rhett take a picture for me. Nice pose bud


Jaycee once again watching a movie. The dog in the background grandma Parker bought for her because at the store she was crying so bad when we tried to put it back. SPOILED! But she loves it.
