More Christmas

Taylor made Grandma a jewlery box out of popsicles sticks at school. Charly then, not to be passed up by Taylor, made Grandma a jewelery box out of paper(she's really into her new oragami set).

Mom and Dad came over Christmas afternoon for a Bacon Cheeseburger dinner. Very Martinish, and now deemed worthy of being tradition says Rex.

Dad made me the coolest tree out of rocks. I wanted one so bad after we saw them at the Rock and Gem show.
Yeah me!

Papa Gutierrez made Mini-marshmellow shooters for Christmas. They came in guns blazing. Attacking like crazy! They were amazing fun. Course I'm gonna be finding mini marshmellow around the house till we move...

Christmas

A easy Christmas at home. Rex's favorite kind. Very laid back. Course the girls did convince us to wake up and open presents by 8am. Guess it could get worse? Hopefully they keep the 8am scheduale, but I suspect it will be earlier every year.

Rex drove the girls nuts with his sloooooooooooow opening of presents. You can see it in Taylor's face.

We got awsome gifts. It was fabulous!

Other Christmas photos

-k- so these are the pics that didn't make the cut for our Christmas cards.

I love the girls trying to make Daddy smile.

Santa

Santa came on a firetruck to Poulsbo and the girls got to see him with his little elf. He's oh so cute!

CHeck our talent!

For our ward christmas party I put together a talent show. I helped out a YW with her gutiar solo and I created a dance for the girls to perform.



I played guitar with Kaylee, I was back up for her Silent Night.

The girls danced to Hallelujah Chorus. We've been working on the dance for three weeks. The performance was the first time that they didn't spend the whole time telling each other what to do! They actually danced with smiles on their faces!

I let each of the girls pick a friend to be their partner. They were so cute! and So Serious!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Domiono's is our favorite game at Grandma's house.

Guess who got the extra whip cream!
Charly loves pumpkin pie-ate 3 pieces!

Aren't our dolls precious?

Grandma Gutierrez's B-day!

Makayla's favorite pastime at Grandmas house is to pretend sleep on the napping Daddy. Didn't quite work this time.
