Christmas at the McClellans





Today is our first official day of Christmas.  We are leaving in the middle of  next week and wont be back until the first of the year.  We decided to do our won Chrsitmas before leaving.  they were very excited about all thier presents and had to open each one immediately.  The two presents I made myself I took pictures of them in them.  The tutu and superhero cape.  I will put a better picture of those soon.  After presents we had a traditional breakfast of abbleskievers.

All aboard the Polar Express



Our Ward had a Christmas party and the theme was the Polar express.  The train made three stops one at a reading of the book and hot cocoa, one was a room of nativities and a movie and the third stop was a humanitarian aid room.  After each stop everyone met in the gym for a big dinner.  It was very cool and the kids loved being in their pajamas for a party.

All wrapped up

I woke up one moring to Dane on the couch wrapping himself in Christmas paper.  I love the little things kids do to make us laugh

Beuty School drop-out

Kemarie loves to play beauty school and here is the end result in my hair.

Hospital Aftermath

In the middle of November Kemarie took a trip to the hospital to see why she was having frequent urinary tract infections.  she had to be sedated via IV and so she was doted on hand and foot and came home with all these new presents.  One of the dolls had an IV in her so they could tell her what was going to happen to her on a doll first.  She did really well and This is her sleeping peacefully on the couch right after we came home with all her new presents.  Results are sorry this is not very pleasent but she refluxes her urine into her kidneys when she goes potty.  We now need to see a urologist to make further action.

Riverton trips



I have a best friend I grew up with in Colorado, and she now lives in Riverton with her husband and kids. We love to go visit.  In one the kids are jumping on the bed listening to music on youtube, the second picture is Kemarie and Dylan hugging goodbye.  It is fun to watch one of my highschool friends kids grow up with mine.

Dane birthday number two



Dane turned two and we had some friends and family over to celebrate.  It was a blast but my favorite was the cupcakes I made they looked very cute.  Sorry you can not see them very well.  Look at the present openig frenzy, the kids would not look my direction.
