Happy New Year 2013!

Happy New Year. We celebrated east coast time. While we were out doing poppers and yelling "happy new year" Landon looked at us and said "why is no one else out here?" Jer and I busted up laughing. This east coast thing might not work much longer. Happy New Year!!

Bowling.

One of our friends had a birthday party at the bowling alley. The kids love bowling and the facility was very clean and well taken care of, which is hard to find here. Logan wanted in on the action. He really thinks he is a big kid.

He knows he's cute.

Leah giving it a go.

Landon didn't want the ramp, he preferred to chuck it down the lane.

Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Between us, Grandma's, and Grandpa's the Kids were spoiled rotten. They were so fun this year! Logan woke up at 6(way to early), Landon woke up around 7 and was dying to go downstairs. He kept asking to go grab something downstairs, or to go get breakfast, or anything that he could think of to go take a peek. We let Leah sleep till 8 and then finally they were all able to go downstairs. We open things slowly taking our time. We have no where to be on Christmas which is really nice. We were able to Skype with Grandpa and Nana Cindy, and I even got to talk to Shelly from the mission field. It was a wonderful Christmas. This year was harder to have the Lilos understand the true meaning of Christmas. I am so grateful for my savior and for all that he has done for me. I have much gratitude in my heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ and I am so blessed in ever aspect of my life. I hope that my kids will continue to recognize and understand the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone!!

They had no trouble digging into the stockings.

Logan was content with the first gift we could have stopped there.

Christmas Eve 2012!

Christmas eve was wonderful this year. Jer had the whole day off! we made some special cookies for Santa. While Logan was napping Jer took Landon and Leah to Wreck it Ralph! That evening we went over to our friends house for a yummy dinner and the kids put on a nativity. These are the special Oreos for Santa.

Leah would not put down her Christmas eve present. It went everywhere with us!

Leah was "Mary" She sat there the whole time with baby Jesus. She loved being the one to hold baby Jesus.

Logan loves to sing. The piano would stop and he would just keep singing-I love it!

Joseph got a little board.

That night they finally got to open their gift.

San Diego Temple Lights.

We headed over to San Diego to see the beautiful Christmas lights around the Temple grounds.

It's almost Christmas!

We have been busy these last couple of weeks. I was awful leaving my camera home. But it has been fun. We made cookies to take to the neighbors.

Got all gussied up for Christmas Sunday.

Logan was not cooperating!

Our elves were naughty as usual. I didn't get a picture of them being spiderman, and dressing up in Barbi clothes. Here they are fishing

Having a snack.

They even wrapped the kids doors one night-Naughty little elves.
