They only thing I don't like about Christmas is how fast it's gone! You wait for what seems like forever, then you shop and wrap and present and just like that...it's gone! It was way fun this year to keep the celebration going by having our Schwab family up and opening more presents a week after Christmas.

Jaden's BaPtiSm!!!
January 2, 2010
Although Jaden turned 8 back in July, he didn't get baptized until January...crazy I know; one of my closest friends liked to tease me that he could actually go down on the records as a convert baptism. (funny Brittney, I love you!) Anyway, since we live in a "very" LDS community, we have Stake baptisms once a month. With us being in Seattle all summer, then in and out of town until September, Jaden decided that since he waited this long, he wanted to wait a couple of more months until his Aunt Dyan got home from her mission so she could come. We had a wonderful day! Thanks to dear, sweet Mother Nature, none of my family was able to make it up from Texas, but we were very excited and grateful to have our Schwab family here with us! Jaden was so honored when all but 2 players from the High School basketball team showed up.

We had a FABULOUS new year this year!!! Travis' little sister, Dyan, had just recently returned home from her mission in Argentina, and we had yet to see her. Between family, friends, games and lots of yummy treats, we partied the night away right into the wee hours of the morning! This celebration will go down as possibly the best one yet!! HaPpY 2010!!!

Christmas 2009
December 25, 2009
This was the first year ever that we spent Christmas all by ourselves. Christmas Eve we did our traditional dinner and a movie, eating at Texas Roadhouse and then watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. Then we came home and Travis read us "There's Always Room For a Little One." Papa Beav gave us this book last Christmas and it instantly became a favorite, a nice little addition to our Christmas Eve traditions. Next we watched "The Nativity" (the one put out by the church), opened our traditional Jammie's, and sent the kids off to bed. We had been tracking Santa on the Santa Tracker all day, and when the kids realized they only had less than an hour until his arrival, it didn't take much persuading. Christmas day was spent opening gifts, playing games, relaxing and taking a nice long nap...doesn't get much better than that!

My "Baby" is 5
December 17, 2009
I don't even know where the time has gone, but my "baby" is 5 & I can't believe it! Chloe's day started off with breakfast at McDonald's with the cheerleaders. Next we headed over to Jaden's school to watch his Christmas program, followed by a fun afternoon class at gymnastics. Travis still had a lot going on at the school that evening, so after sneaking away for a fun dinner at a local pizza place, we headed back to the school for cake and presents. While we were there, we had a city wide power outage. The school was dark and the kids were a little worried, but we made the most of it by playing games and taking goofy pictures. All in all it was a pretty fabulous day!
