Christmas!

Christmas Eve started out so beautiful and serene:
I got up and made the dough for rolls, when I started to smell fingernail polish, I went in to see where this one:
was and she had painted the bottom part of the side table with BRIGHT pink fingernail polish. I can't get it off. In the meantime this thing:had pulled my dough off of the counter and eaten half of it and slobbered all over the rest. So I made a new batch of dough and some mint candies (placing them farther back on the counter top) and then went and started the bath to get the fingernail polish out of Lana's hair. While I was doing that Daisy figured out that if she pulled the towel that the candies were on with her teeth that it dragged the bowl of mints over to her, I heard a loud CRASH and went in to see what happened. Daisy had successfully pulled down the mints (of which she had already eaten half) and a bag of powdered sugar, she looked like a ghost and continued to track powdered sugar footprints all over everything. I was getting ready to throw her outside, when Travis came home.



About five minutes later this one:
puked these:
(and yes they were red) all over the floor, it was DISGUSTING and the smell was awful! Just as she did that the doorbell rang and it was the neighbor bringing over Christmas goodiesshe asked if she could come in because she had never seen our house to which I wanted to reply !!!NO!!!! but after a feeble attempt to keep her outside she came in anyways. I am sure that we were quit the site. This one:was in nothing but these:
(and fingernail polish all over that doesn't come out with water), daisy was white from the powdered sugar, there were paw prints all over EVERYTHING, floor, couch,you name it. The kitchen was a mess from my treats, there was puke on the floor, the house reeked, and Travis was busting up laughing, I on the other hand did not think that it was too funny. I wanted to put this:
and this:

and yes even this:on the curb with one of these: after that our Christmas was pretty good we went to Travis' parents house, had some yummy Christmas dinner, played some games, visited with cousins, got some new Jammie's

and even after all of that Santa came ( he didn't even leave a lump of coal)!




Malana loved everything she got and even said on Christmas morning "this is the best day ever!" thank you Phineas and Ferb. We even got to talk to these two:
on Skype. Unfortunately everyone in the family spent the rest of the weekend taking turns having this be their best friend:The end.

Nield Family Christmas Party

This weekend was my family's Christmas party. We had a good time together. We had tacos for dinner, then we played Christmas BINGO, including prizes!

The boys played a little basketball.


The kids played the chimes.
The adults played the Newlywed game, the first round Bryan and Tonya won but the second game Travis and I won! woot, woot!


Last but not least we acted out the nativity and sang a few Christmas songs.






Despite my parents not being there we had a good time.

Merry Christmas!

Utah and back lickety split

This past weekend we decided to take a trip to Utah, we took Malana to build-a-bear and then meet up with Travis' brothers family and went and saw the lights on temple square. Then we spent a relaxed day on Saturday, with Travis' brothers family, with a babysitter and trip to the cheesecake factory on Saturday. Thanks for letting us crash your house Jarad and Heather, we had a blast!

For Thanksgiving this year we went to my brother Bryan's house since my parents are in Ireland. It was nice, we are growing every year, this year we filled up three big tables! we got to Skype with my parents and it was fun to hear about their Thanksgiving too.
