A little laugh for all of us!

I stole this from my sisters blog because I thought it was so cute and funny. You'll have to put my music on pause before you click on the link above, but we hope you really enjoy!
We hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had our first big snow storm on Friday night, so the kids were so excited to wake up to new snow. By 9:00, we had them dressed and ready to play outside. Jackson loved the snow, and would run & dive into it. Isn't he a cute little snow boy!

Morgan was so funny, because she loved the snow too, but after about 15 minutes she as ready to come back inside. Jackson was having so much fun, that he had no interest in coming inside, so Jackson & Daddy stayed outside while Mommy & Morgan went inside and had a nice big cup of Hot Chocolate with toast.

I'm not a big fan of snow, but I feel like Christmas isn't the same unless there is snow everywhere. It was so fun watching the kids enjoy the snow. They loved eating it as most kids do, and I loved watching the big flakes fall on them.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!

We had some friends come over the other night for an early christmas party, and I made this chocolate, peanut butter trifle. It was really good! It has a peanut butter cream in it though, and I think next time I make it, I will use caramel instead of peanut butter.

Jackson woke up from his nap just in time to enjoy the pudding that went into the trifle. He was so excited to lick the spatula. This boy LOVES chocolate just like his daddy. The other day we gave both of the kids a chocolate hershey kiss after lunch, jackson unwrapped his and I think swallowed it whole, because before we knew it, he was wanting more. Morgan was taking her time at unwrapping it, almost as if it were a precious present, and as soon as the chocolate was out, Jackson snatched it from her and popped it in his mouth. We had a little melt down as you can imagine, but luckily we had more. :)


YUMMY!!!! I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!

It's Christmas Time at the Nuttalls

The kids were so excited to decorate the Christmas tree this year. They focused all their attention on placing the ornaments exactly where they thought they should go. When they were done, a lot of the ornaments were upside down, and a lot of the balls had all been placed right next to each other. My first reaction was to put them all where I thought they should go, but as I started fixing the upside down ones, I realized, that the tree had meaning, and now every time I look at it, and I see 2 or 3 ornaments grouped together, I remember who helped me decorate the tree, and to us it's perfect!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Dinner
Here we are at my parents house for Thanksgiving. My sister Brittany & her husband where at his parents, and Jen & her family are in Idaho, but the rest of us were there. My cousin Brandon is also in the picture. Dinner was incredible!

My Grandma made some whip cream for her pie, and Jackson was the lucky one that got to lick the spatula. He loved it, and didn't want to give it up until every last lick was gone. :)

Thanksgiving

My beehives learned how to make pies the other day, so I decided I would try my first apple pie. It was delicious, especially with ice cream on top. Yummy! I can't take all the credit though, because Mr. Pillsbury dough boy helped me with the crust, which I highly recommend for convenience, and a lady in my mom's ward gave her a bottle of apple pie filling, so all I had to do was put it all together. I did make the top though with graham crackers, brown sugar, & cinnamon, and that was really good. Yummy... I love warm apple pie.



Here's my dad carving the Turkey. We went to my parents house for Thanksgiving. I feel bad I didn't get a picture of my mom, when she was the one that did the majority of the work, & the food was delicious. We loved the fresh homemade rolls!

This is all of my moms family. My mom has never had her family to her house for Thanksgiving before because we have lived out of state, and this is the first time they were all able to make it happen. They all brought pies, and we had a total of 10 pies to choose from! There were about 20 of us there, so we each got 1/2 a pie, okay we didn't really eat all of it, but it was nice being able to sample a little bit of each.

Here's the kiddies enjoying their thanksgiving dinner. They just liked the olives & the rolls.

Ready for Winter

The other day, my sister in law (who works at Macy's) called to tell me that all of their kids coats were on sale for $15.00, usually $65.00--wow good deal huh? Morgan needed a coat really bad, so I let her pick one out. I really liked this one, and I was hoping that she did too, and sure enough it was the one that she picked. Isn't it cute! She was so excited to wear it. She wanted to go and show it to Grandma, but I told her she couldn't wear it until it started to snow outside. Boy was she disappointed!





Does she look a little mischievious to you? She is such a funny little girl. The other day I was talking to a mom in our ward. Her son does joy school with Morgan, and is a really cute little boy. He is always taking care of her, and making sure that the other kids don't hurt her, or aren't rude to her. Well the other day, it was my friends turn to have all the kids at her house. She told me that her son had been wispering to Morgan while they were outside playing with all of the other kids, and that they were just laughing together. Morgan went up to my friend later and said, "He is a Handsome Boy!" I couldn't believe it when my friend told me this. I was holding Morgan while she was holding her son, and I said "Morgan, your not supposed to say things like that yet, you're only 3!!!!! Wow, I have a feeling this girl will be getting a lot of the boys when she's older. I'm not sure how Brian feels about that. :)

And of course our cute little guy. He didn't need a winter coat, but when he saw Morgan put her coat on, he wanted to put his coat on too. He thought that he looked so cool in it, and didn't want to take it off. :)
