Halle's Christmas Programs

Halle had a Christmas program at dance and at school this year, she was Clara in the Nutcracker for dance...

And Rudolph for school

She was SO excited that Presley could come and watch her!

Ward Nativity Walk

Presley as an Angel, thrilled to see that I brought the camera!

Christmas Day!

Looks like Santa came, he ate all his cookies and drank all his milk!

FYI- if your daughter asks santa for a $80.00 Victoria Secret sweat suit(which santa doesn't even have) don't buy a half the price one from Aeropostale and think she will be happy, SHE WON'T!!!

FYI- enjoy your little one's while their young, and while they don't know the difference between Aeropostale and Victoria Secret!!!

Nothing like christmas crepes!

Halle wanted a Jersey just like the boy's!

Maddie and Presley.

Gotta love a teenager!!!

Merry Christmas.

He's the son of a King, but he came to us with nothing. No purple robe, no crust of bread. With his soft, tiny hands he reached out for me to hold Him. There was no crown upon his head. So I guess that I should not have been surprised when I saw the human tears in His Holy Infant Eyes. And no one ever taught me how to sing a lullaby for the Son of the Mighty King. But when I held Him in my arms, and I rocked Him just the way that mothers do, I just knew. Just as we knew He'd be, he lived so selflessly,He was a legend in the land. People came from far and wide,looked at Him with pleading eyes longing for the healing in His hands. And in those endless busy days,he still had time for me, he always found a way. And no one ever taught me how to love a Healer and a Teacher sent from up above. But when He cared for me and helped me in the tender way that only He could do, I just knew. In sunlit moments I could see me in the traces of His smile. I know He came from me, but He was better than this world would allow. I could not save Him when He died. Now it seems that He's the one who holds me when I cry. And everybody asks me how I'm sure that the Little Boy I raised is our Redeemer. I could list the dreams and prophecies, and miracles that prove His mission true.But in all honesty, every moment I was with Him,I just knew. Do you know?

Need a little motivation for the New Year?

And the winner is....Michelle! I love Biggest Loser and last night was the finale, Michelle lost 110 pounds, 45% of her body weight. I know I will think twice before I eat that second piece of pie this christmas!

Cancun

Were back from Cancun and we had a BLAST! I can't believe how much our family has grown, it was fun hanging with everyone for a whole week. Leave it to the Holbrook's for a good time! This is us at Tulum, we had a LDS tour guide take us around and explain all the history of this amazing place.

Happy Thanksgiving! This was Presley's Thanksgiving dinner.

Grandpa with Halle and Hudson.

Presley and Halle got their hair braided the first night, which made getting ready a whole lot easier!

feeding the Iguana crackers.

Leave it to me to book the PARTY ferry over to Las Majeras Island. I thought we were getting a deal for just 50 bucks they took you to and from the island, fed you breakfast and lunch and gave you free drinks all day! Lets just say the one's who REALLY drank got a WAY better deal. At the end of the day we were the only one's not wasted from all the "free drinks", at least we had some good entertainment!

Jake and Presley joined in on the entertainment!

Halle dancing!

Nothing like an Ocean View

On our way back from the Jungle and Snorkel tour.
