Hali is 5!

Hali had her 5th birthday on Feb 28th and Mom was still at the hospital with Ella. Thankfully Aubrey was a sweet heart and made her cake. She loved it and all of her presents. All she wanted for her big day was a cake and a puppy pillow pet. In a classic Crea idea- he stuffed her pillow pet into a humidifier box- her face is so funny- from disappointment to joy! We love our HAL!

Ella Debra Christensen

Ella was born Feb 24th. She weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19 inches long. She was 3 weeks early and didn't have enough serfactin (sp?) in her lungs so she had to stay in the nursery for 5 days. When we finally brought her home, we had to quarantine her from Abby who had RSV! Luckily we had Grandma Erline and Grandma-Great here to help.

The first day with Ella at home- Abby managed to sneek past us all and climb into bed with her.

EVS Christmas Program 2010

The girls did so great at their school Christmas program. Abby through a fit in the truck but was pretty good during the program. She kept yelling out the girls names when they were singing their songs-so funny!

Temple Lights

Hali danced at a nursing home in St George on Saturday night and we stopped at the temple to look at the lights. We had a great time and even went in the visitors center to see the statue of Christ and watch a video about the Plan of Happiness. The girls didn't want to leave. Crea took us to get an ice cream cone and as we were driving home Hali said, "I wish I was Mel-nee's kid"
Mom, "That makes me sad- why do you want to be Melanie's kid." Hali responded with her ice cream in her hand, "Just kidding, I just wish we could have stayed at the Temple longer."

Ward Christmas Party

This year Lila and Papa had speaking parts in the Christmas Program and Hali sang with the Primary. Abby was so proud- she kept pointing and clapping for her big sisters up on stage. After a great meal the grils saw Santa! Lila and Hali were fine of coarse but Abby came unglued and hit santa right in the beard. It was more like a BIG push away from him but still- she hit santa so we will have to see how Christmas morning goes!?!

I LOVE the looks on her and Santa's faces! Priceless!

Here she is with her candy cane and card right after the screaming. What a little stinker!

Oh Christmas Tree- Fake Christmas tree

It is now a tradition to take really cute/funny pictures of our girls after we put up our Christmas tree. We have such a great life!

Halloween 2010

This Halloween we had a trunk or treat at the Church and our three little pigs were adorable. Lila would only agree to the whole idea if she could be the smart one who built her house with bricks!

Notice Abby's straw is in her bucket
