Rockin' New Years Eve!

Jeff and Bonnie hosted our New Years Eve party this year. We had a ton of food, kids, noise, games, movies, etc. All of the things you need to have a great time! The kids played games, and watched movies...I can't believe all of them lasted until midnight! (I was paying for it the next day!) The adults sat down for an intense game of Pictionary along with the traditional Newlywed Game. We had some good laughs at Uncle Jeff's expense...(Jeff, we all know you are more like Batman than Charlie Brown!) It was a great way to ring in the New Year! Looking forward to 2008!

Goodbye 2007

2007 A Great Year.....So many fun and exciting things happened in 2007 we couldn't possibly name them all. So, I asked my family to think of their 2 favorite things of the year.....here is what everyone said......

Easton.....Easton's favorite thing of 2007 was hiking up Mt. Timanogas for our Halliday Family Reunion. He and Camry ran all the way to the top! He thought it was so cool inside....he still talks about it.

East's number 2 was Bear World in Rexburg, Idaho. We loved it! We got to the feed the bears some doughnuts....so much fun!

Camry.....At the top of Camry's list was the trip her Grandma Gail took her on to the American Girl Place in L.A. She has never been so spoiled, or had as much fun! It was every little girls dream!
The Hannah Montana concert was a close second to her trip with her Grandma! Loved every minute of seeing Hannah/Miley in concert!

Jace.....

Jace had a really hard time deciding his top 2.....shocker.....He finally decided that Disneyland was his fav.
..and Karate is a close 2nd. He loves thinking that he is as big as Easton!

Bryan..... Our trip to Yellowstone was one of Bryan's favorite things. We took a last minute road trip with Jeff and Bonnie's family and had such a good time!
Disneyland was at the top of everone's list. The kids are getting bigger, so every time we go it gets easier and more fun! We had a great Thanksgiving there!

Autumn.....The addition to the Halliday family of Sophie, Aunt Laura, and Derek is by far my number 1. We are so lucky to have them in our family! My number 2 was hard to decide. I finally went with my sister in law trip that we took to Las Vegas for Mother's Day. We saw Celine for the last time and had a great 3 days!

Thank you to all of you who made our 2007 a fabulous year! We are looking forward to what 2008 will hold for our family!

"Happy Halliday's!"

We had a great Christmas this year. Tons of family, good food, and gifts galore! The kids were thrilled with everything that Santa brought for them! Camry got her new stereo system with the ipod doc., Easton got his beloved ripstick, and Jace got his Leapster. (I think he was still holding out for a Nintendo DS, but Santa didn't come through for the 5 year old this year) We were so glad to have Grandpa and Grandma Northern here with us. It is always so much fun to wake up and have the Grandparents here to enjoy the excitement! We had an early 5am wake up call from the two older kids, who don't sleep much at all on Christmas Eve. Luckily Santa had time to arrive before they got up...so all was well! The kids are already looking forward to next year....give me a couple of months and maybe I will be too! :)

Merry Christmas To All!

These pictures tell all! Jace had a 5 am wake up call on Christmas morning from his siblings....this is how well he was dealing with it at 8:30 pm Christmas night! Poor guy just really needed some sleep! .....and to all a goodnight!!

Christmas Eve Pajamas

Almost as exciting as Christmas morning is opening up our Christmas Eve pajamas and ornaments from Grandma and Grandpa Northern! The kids all hop in the tub, then get to put on their cozy new pajamas and hang their new ornament on their tree. Jace, Grandma, Camry, and Easton
Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandkids
This year Camry got a Jack Sparrow ornament (she has outgrown the princess phase, much to Grandma Gails dismay), Easton got the new Spiderman, and Jace got a Shrek The Third ornament. They loved them AND their jammies! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

Oh What A Mess!

The kids and I decorated Gingerbread houses on Christmas Eve. It was so much fun! I am amazed at their artistic abilities! I would have thought they would have quickly slapped something together....but no, it was hours of entertainment! Jace, taking his time getting his house just right!

Easton did some crazy things to his house, it made it look awesome!

Dancing Christmas Lights

Go to the bottom of my blog and turn off my music before you watch the clip.

The kids and I braved the blizzard that we had yesterday, and traveled to Pleasant Grove to see a Christmas Lights Display that everyone has been talking about. It was definitely worth the scary drive! The kids loved every minute of it! We watched the whole thing 2 times and they still didn't want to leave! It was amazing! If anyone is in the area...it is a must see! Call me I can give you directions. We are taking Grandma and Grandpa in a couple of days and can't wait to see it again!
