Snow! Snow! Snow!

Over the holiday break, it felt like it snowed everyday. My sister was here from San Diego with her family, so my dad got the snowmobile out and dragged the kids in a sled around the field by our house. It was fun to get Sienna in her snow outfit. She didn't like being stuck in her suit, but had fun sledding with dad down a tiny hill. It was fun driving the snowmobile around. Last year, I wasn't able to since I was prego. Now I just need to go snowboarding...and I'll be ready for winter to be over!

I love how she looks like Maggie from the Simpsons. A little star.

Happy 2009!!!

We were kindove party poopers this year for new years. It's a lot different when you have a little one. We decided to just stay home this year. Sam's friend Matt came over and we played one CRAZY game of Monopoly. Matt won of course. We stayed up until 1230, which was pretty good I thought. So... this is a shout out to all of you... Please have a new years party next year!

Sienna stayed up until 8. Such a good girl!

First Christmas Fun!!!

We had a lot of fun on Sienna's first Christmas. We got up early at 6 because I had to go into work for 4 hours. Sienna was ready to open all her gifts! Santa spoiled her with lots of toys and clothes. She liked the bows and kindove ripped the paper from the boxes. She was so excited to play with everything. Sam was so tired he ended up opening my mom's gift (Disney scrapbook kit). He was very disappointed. He actually got the Batman movie, CD, a tie organizer, and many clothes. I got gift cards for a massage at aveda spa in Layton, Michael's, and Maurices. We also received Disneyland passes, Omaha steak dinners, and gift certificates for Wendover from all of our parents! We visited all our family that day and had lots of fun. Thanks everyone for making it a Christmas we will never forget!

Sienna and Griffin love the train that goes around Grandma Annette and Grandpa David's Christmas tree.

I think she was satisfied with Santa's delivery

Nativity play on Christmas Eve at Grandpa Brian and Grandma Pat's house. Sienna got to play Jesus since she is the youngest cousin. Madison ,who was playing Mary, said that "Jesus just pooped her pants." It was the best line of the entire play!

FELIZ NAVIDAD

LOVE THE ARCHULETA FAMILY

O-town Lights

We went to the Ogden Christmas lights last week. We met Grandpa David and Grandma Annette there. It was so cold but Sienna was bundled up in her stroller. She had a rosy nose and cheeks after 20 minutes of being outside. I think Sienna had a lot of fun looking at the cute houses they have. I think Ogden has done a great job of decorating downtown with the Christmas lights. There is even a little train you can ride on. Next year we want to go when they have a light parade and turn on the lights for the season. This will be a great Christmas tradition for our little family!

Christmas Concert

On Thursday night we went to the Mo Tab Christmas Concert. My dad has been in the choir for over 10 years and this is his last Christmas concert. It was pretty good and it definitely puts you in the Christmas spirit. My family took up an entire row and I was glad to be sitting next to my grandma Bea. She is such a trooper. I know my dad will miss all the fun stuff he was able to do in the choir. It was always fun to see him on TV even with his funny faces he sometimes pulls when he sings. Your are awesome Dad!

Funny faces

Sienna has been getting quite the personality lately. I love all the faces that she pulls. I'm constantly taking pictures of her and have gotten some good pics of her being a "silly girl". I can't believe she is almost 9 months old. Everyone says they grow up so fast as she has! I'm so excited for this to be her 1st Christmas. We have already gone overboard but she's our 1st and it's her 1st Christmas. What can I say? I love spoiling her already! Love ya sweet girl!
