DADDY and ME!

So Lil Marshall got to go with his daddy to "Dads and Donuts" at his Preschool. They of course played, ate donuts, and did little projects and Lil Marshall got to show his dad all around his classroom. What a fun idea for dads and kids. So----do ya think these two look alike?

Our Merry Christmas in UTAH!

So we got to go home to Utah for Christmas and spend time with both families. We had such a great time and it was fun to watch all of the little kids open presents. We had a surprise for everyone when we got off the plane. We had made a little shirt for Lil Marsh that said "BIG brother in TRAINING" and he stepped off the plane to make our pregnancy announcement. I am due the end of July and can't wait for the new addition to our family! While in Utah, we were able to send our son with his cousins to ride the Polar Express with Grammy and Grandpa, attend both family's Christmas parties, sleep over at my parent's on Christmas eve and play Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, go to Island Park with my in- laws, and spend a little New Years party time at each parent's house. We were sad to leave, but sooo grateful for such wonderful families who always love and support us and spoil us 24-7! Thanks for a great trip Jones and Meier Families!:)

Lil Marsh and cousin Matt trying out their new Transformer guns---I swear those two didn't slow down the entire night!

My mom had the kids dress up and act out baby Jesus' birth/manger scene. They were so cute, and each one said their little part perfectly!

Marshall was the shepherd who "watched his flocks by night"....and he wouldn't let go of the lamb

Belle was the star that shone so BRIGHT!

McKenlie and Kylie were angels for the manger scene

Marshall and Grant's best sides captured during Guitar Hero!

Lil Marsh and cousin Kylie jammin on Guitar Hero!

Awwwhh....He loves his Optimus Prime Transformer!

Taking a trip to Island Park in West Yellowstone with my in-laws. It was a great trip and probably the coldest trip we've had up there!

Christmas in Philly

Santa came to our house in Philly before Christmas, because we were going to be in Utah with family for Christmas. Lil Marshall was so excited that morning, and he even told my dad that he heard the reindeer on the roof that night, but the Transformers shot them! Marshall and I laughed sooo hard! He has such an imagination and always makes life that much more enjoyable! He was so excited about his bike and can't wait til it gets warm enough outside to ride it! Here are some pics of his fun morning of opening presents from Santa and Mom and Dad:

He examined everything in his stocking carefully!:)

He wasn't sure what the name of the this car was (from the movie Cars)...Chick Hicks!

Oh look- it has Optimus Prime on the handle bars too!

Too bad all of this couldn't go on the plane with him to Utah
