Merry Christmas

Christmas this year, was a lot of fun.  We got the pleasure of sharing it with one 6 year old, and two 3 year olds, while staying at Gma's & Gpa's in Utah.  How much more excitement can you ask for!

We stayed for an entire week, got in lots and lots of relaxing, and of course ... did  WAY TOO MUCH eating.

Even our little elf Elfy, made the trip to Utah.  The ladies were so surprised to find him sitting on Gma & Gpa's mantel, when we first walked in their door.  He brought the kiddos their Christmas jammies the night before, so they could open their presents in style!

The kiddos left two plates of cookies, and two glasses of milk for Santa.  Also, Hannah left a carrot for the reindeer.  They must have been hungry because all was gone the next day:)

Some families take turns opening presents.  But not at the Seamons house, where it is all or nothing

Even Olivia's Jess got a little Christmas gift

Since we stayed for one week, we were able to get in a few other things besides just Christmas festivities.  We got to help celebrate Aunt Kim's birthday, and Cousin Austin's birthday.  We were able to meet up with my Cousin Merrick and his famillia, and do some major catching up with them.  We even got in a little ice skating.  And when I say we ... I mean everyone else got in some ice skating.  I had to sit on the sidelines this year, which wasn't quite the same. Next time people ... next time!

Miss Liv absolutely LOVED skating.  She did not want to be done when it was time to go

 Kim getting ready to do a little birthday bowling

  Hm mm ... what are these two up to?  Obviously, not bowling.

Cousin Austin's turned 3 on the 31st of December, so we went and lived it up Austin style this year for New Year's Eve.  We had a GREAT time!  The kids got to dress up in their best train gear, and played pin the number on the train.  Aunt Cameron had tons and tons of munchies, and even got a totally awesome Thomas The Train Cake.  Click here Cameron's blog ,for more party pictures and to see the awesome cake.  Some one's battery died in the camera during the party, and that someone was me

Hannah was the only one, who would wear the garb and doesn't she look fabulous!

 Olivia did great.  It could have been because she was lifting up her blindfold ha ha

 The birthday boy opening his presents, like a pro

We had a great Christmas this year!  Thanks to all you who helped celebrate!!

Hot Date With The Hubby

Chiki & I finally made it to watch Trans Siberian Orchestra, this year.  We have been wanting to go for years, but it has always been at a not so good time for us.   It was AWESOME, and we were definitely not disappointed.  The performers were great, and knew how to put on a good show!

 The lighting was unbelievable

 Always kept our eyes moving

One Fabulous Weekend

One Fabulous Weekend, is the only way to sum up this past week!  Not only did Chiki graduate from CU Boulder, but we had Olivia's preschool Christmas program, and the ladies Christmas dance recital.

 Taking a moment to pose with daddy while decorating cookies

Later that evening, the family arrived to help celebrate Chiki's graduation.  I just have to say that Chiki is absolutely amazing.  Not only did he work a full time job, help take care of a family, rarely get a summer vacation nor a weekend, but also had to worry about things that you can't even imagine, and keep me happy :).  All the while trying to maintain his sanity, while going to school.  I am so so so proud of my new Electrical Engineer!

Mr. Grad!

 The cheer squad

 The happy couple

 The party goers (doesn't Hannah look thrilled ha ha)

My sister Kim also graduated this past week.  Her school only has it's graduation services in the Spring, and she is choosing not to wait and walk.  So of course we had to include her in all the festivities!  We concocted this AWESOME cake of Kim & Chiki.  Look close ... absolutely hilarious!  Kim's head was put on a picture Cameron, when she graduated from college.  Chiki's picture ... well that is just a super hilarious story that if you want to know about ... ask us and we will fill you in. Ha ha ha ha, I can't help but laugh just thinking about it :)

We have so many cute pictures from this past week, but unfortunately I cannot post them all.  So, here are just a few more of my favorites:

Hannah was being a bugger when it came to having her pic taken all week, so we are lucky to have this one

Kids all tuckered out.  Having a sleepover and Gma & Gpa's hotel

 The "twins."  They wouldn't let each other out of sight

As for the ladies Christmas recital, apparently I have yet to download those pictures.  So stay tuned for those.

Thanks to all those, who helped celebrate this past week!!
