Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma's house for some cookie decorating. Logan was more excited about eating a cookie than decorating, but he did manage to get a few cookies decorated. We then went to GG's (great grandma & grandpas) house for our traditional Christmas party. We ate, played the traditional Christmas bingo, acted out the nativity, sang songs and a special visitor left presents outside for the kids. Logan loved opening the presents and was a big helper to others who needed their presents opened.

Christmas morning brought lots of presents and snow. Logan was excited to see that Santa left him a new train set. He LOVES Thomas the train! As a parent, it was fun to watch him get excited about Christmas! He even helped Grandpa pass out the presents!

There was also plenty of snow left for us on Christmas Day. My brother dug out the old snowmobiles and we each got a tour around the neighborhood. It was Kevin's first experience on a snowmobile and he came back smiling. I'm not sure if it was the fun of it or the fact that it was freezing and the grin was frozen to his face! The snowmobiles were put away and tracks were all covered up just in time to see the police officer driving around the neighborhood looking for us. It sure was fun!!

Merry Christmas from the Schmidts! So I just finished being Elvis in a Christmas Concert here in Santaquin. I sang Blue Christmas and had back up singers and everything, it was hilarious, from the bedazzled glasses, hairy chest and crazy silver outfit. It was alot of fun and I'm constantly amazed at what I get myself into. Logan saw me and kept saying "not daddy, not daddy." It was pretty cute!

Logan was the Cookie Monster for Halloween! We had a great time at our City Halloween Carnival that I put on. Logan especially loved playing Plinko, jumping on the bouncy house and the new Tumbling area! It was a great time!

My day at the Country Farm. I had so much fun. Mom and I went to the country farm where I got to see animals like ducks, cows and even got to pet a horse. I especially loved throwing rocks...wait, that is always my favorite activity. The only thing that could get me away from the rocks was some yummy pop corn and I got to pick my own Logan sized pumpkin too!

I love my Fall rides around the neighborhood in my new wagon! It is so fun to visit with my friends who are out and about and I love getting out of the house! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for my new ride!
