Extremely late christmas post

And In true procrastinating fashion we have Christmas in April! These pictures are all mixed up and I am not going to be putting the effort into moving them around, sorry! Not like anyone is going to look at this post anyway right? 

Starting with Christmas at The Holt house...

 My kids were spoiled rotten at Holts, Chloe got this pink CD player which she uses EVERY day to listen to all her princess music.

 Regan rates christmas as just ok, and britty gives it TWO thumbs up

Taking a picture with my new canon elph!

Ashley getting into everything as per usual. 

Cousins playing on the Ipad.

Christmas dresses! 

And we jump over to Christmas Eve at gramma Dixie's house..

The cute kids waiting SO patiently to open their presents. 

I made all the cousins superhero capes this year complete with masks and they loved them!

Super hero Boss and Baker man. 

They were all different and reversible. One side was a superhero and on the other side was their initial. I think they were pretty cute.....but i made them. soooooo ya. 

HERE are some really cute pics Pam put on her blog of the boys in their capes!

And i was there too!

Look at Sam's cute wrapping job!

I also made all the girls ear warmers. I found the tutorial on pinterest and they turned out super cute!

The kids all got these head lamps. so much fun!

My handsome man.

The happy couple.

And the preggers. 

Cutest little racoons there ever was!

All the girlies.

And chloe being the center of attention. She loves it. 

And christmas morning at our house. 

Looks like I only took pictures of Ashley that morning. ha ha she was so cute tho!

obsessed with her stuffed kitty!

They loved their pink kitchen. Chloe came into the room and said. "well its not a princess kitchen, but it IS pink." so i guess it was ok! ha ha 

Ash's favorite present by far she played with it forever!

Chloe got her OWN pink "puter" and was pretty happy!

BAck to the Holt house...

Cam and Lexie showing off their capes!

Their favorite thing to do is play with the pool table balls. 

Playing with cousin Tyler. 

Ash got this adorable stroller which she loves! when she actually gets to play with it, chloe is kinda bossy!

poor Reeg all tuckered out after all the festivities. 

They were so excited the next day with all their new toys! 

Ash still loved her bus the best!

Karen made the girls this amazing Advent calendar. Chloe loved it. It was the first thing she said every morning "can we put something in my stable?"

Isn't it amazing?? ya she made it all by hand!! we LOVE it!

AND our Christmas card!! Merry Christmas....a few months ago! ;)

Heggie Christmas Party

So Since it's almost May i thought I better start catching up my blog. and what better place to start than before Christmas!? Here are some pics from our Heggie Christmas party. They weren't going to have one but then I just whined a little bit and my mom threw it together....isn't she great? It was so much fun, the girls all had a blast and it is so fun to see all the family! We went on a freezing cold hayride that Chloe talked about for MONTHS!! literally, she made Lincoln play "hayride" with her every day for weeks.  

We had a delicious Roast beef on a bun and then got all the kids dressed up for the Nativity. 

Ash was a sheep! and of course Chloe was an Angel. she had decided earlier that week she was an Angel, good thing we had enough Angel costumes to make all the kids happy!

Cute little angels! 

And all the kids together, we had them all sit and we watched a little video where a little girl is narrating the nativity. It was adorable! I put up a few because not all the kids are in every picture it was kind of a gong show!! 

Then of course SANTA came!!

Ashley was loving Santa. she even learned to say santa the same week so that was perfect! she was not scared of him at ALL she actually sat on his lap a couple of times and was standing near him or touching him the whole time he was there. One thing about Ash, she loves her old men! 

With her bag of goodies! 

This was as close as I could get Chloe to get to him tho......

she still got her bag of treats....and alot of orange punch, hench the stache. 

All the cousins playing in the corner, my kids love haylee!

Chloe is sharing her treats with gramma! thanks for such a fun party! can't wait for next year!

Gingerbread

Just a little gingerbread house making action over here. It is really late and I have been up late all week sewing and crafting and wrapping and putting together toys. So there will not be much writing tonight. 

Chloe was dying to put this gingerbread house together, or just to eat the candy, either way the girls had lots of fun! 

I have a love/hate relationship with these pre-made gingerbread houses. 

The are easy, and the kids have fun. but you can't eat it, its disgusting, and the icing was HORRIBLE!! It tasted so gross and was almost impossible to push out of the stupid bag. 

But chloe loved it so thats all that matters right?

And ashley was really good at taking the candy off as soon as chloe put it on. 

The masterpiece! beautiful isn't it?? ok don't answer that. 

Blue tongue after eating half of the candy!

 These pics were earlier that day. I thought ashley would grow out of sucking on her blanket, but it seems to just be getting worse. She is always dragging it around...in her mouth. its so gross. ha ha FLEECE in your mouth?? gag me. the edges are just snipped into fringe and she sucks on one piece and rubs another one on her face. kids are so weird.

And chloe wanted a picture too. love this face!

Baby Blue Ballerinas

I don't know about you guys. But I am pretty sure 3 year old ballerinas just might be the cutest thing I have ever seen! Chloe had her "recital" last week, It wasn't so much a recital as all the parents were invited to come watch their class to see what they have been learning. The University only does a big recital every 3 years and I think they did it last year, but I was really happy with just watching the class, ALOT less stress on everyone involved. Chloe started out LOVING ballet and would go all by herself no problem. Then one week she was sick and didn't want to go in and had a meltdown so I had to come in with her.....and every week since then. I dont' really mind cause i LOVE watching!  

She was SO excited for everyone to come watch her she talked about it for days. We even had quite the turnout, My mom and dad came along with Sam and Landon and Tanner(Him and Landon were working out so they decided to come too), Auntie Suz and Lexie came too It was quite the party! 

So here are alot of half blurry pictures of chloe being ridiculously cute! 

When they first come in they all come sit on their little circle. Chloe is VERY attentive and does EXACTLY what the teacher says! 

This is her little friend Brooklyn, they are best buddies and always stand RIGHT beside each other. Claire is usually right there with them, but she was too shy this day. 

Her teacher is Miss Madison. She is awesome! she has the softest, most gentle voice and the kids hang on her every word. 

This is them doing a song called "Roly Poly" its adorable.

I tried to get this video to the bottom but it wouldn't work. So this is just them doing "monkeys on the bed" It's one of her favorites. She gets a little lost making sure we are watching her! ha such a little performer. My favorite is how she has to make sure her feet are in 1st position every time they stop. and she was the FIRST one to sit down every time, without being told. Yaaaa she is alot like me, teachers pet in the making! haha

She was always making sure her feet were in 1st position .

Look at that form?? she is going professional for sure!

They were drawing pictures on the floor with their sharpened "pencils." Then everyone got to say what they drew in their picture. Chloe said "a rainbow" just like half of the other kids said! ha ha

I just can't get over how stinking cute the look!! I was so sad when I found out they had to wear blue. But luckily Chloe has the best auntie ever who gave her lexies old outfit which is PERFECT! 

Just prancing around the room like ponies. they had to stop in this position "whoah" And you can see how many people were there watching. Loved it!

Just sitting patiently waiting for instructions....all by her lonesome! 

and again....perfect form! ha ha love her. 

They always get to play with balloons for a few minutes at the end. This is when Ashley starts trying REALLY hard to go out there and play. 

Then at the veeery end they do a freestyle dance in which they have to do some "thank you curtseys" They curtsey to thank their teacher and miss lori who plays the piano. Chloe watched her teacher the whole time and copied exactly was she was doing. so cute! 

 Pretty sure she is the cutest little ballerina that ever lived. But I may be a little biased ;) 

We are so proud of our Chloe Ballerina!!
