DollyWood, DollyWood, DollyWood!!!

The coolest place on earth! We went the day after Christmas and had more fun than you can imagine. That Dolly Parton sure knows what she's doing. The kids had a blast on the rides. We went with Jamie, Clint and Livy and loved hanging out with them. It closes down until March, but then we'll be back for more fun. What a perfect day!

Christmas Day

We had a really fun Christmas. Makai got tons of stuff for her baby doll, a Dora cash register and lots of other fun stuff. Beck got some (3 ) guns and a tool bench. Which somehow both of his hammers became guns too. Ike and I got some great stuff too. The best present besides Diesel has to be our season passes to DollyWood!!! We are officially backwards southerners.

Christmas Eve at the Allred's

We spent the evening with some friends in the ward and had some great food, conversation, gingerbread house making and a little play presented by the kids. It was a great night!

Christmas Eve

I had to get a few pictures of the kids in their Chrismas gear although Makai has a darling cream sweater that goes with her outfit, but it was dirty. I still think she looks pretty cute!

Christmas Time Memories

We had hot chocolate and cookies with Santa at the Zoo ( we actually nixed Santa since it was freezing outside and the line to see him was 2 hours long)! We saw him later at the warm library with no wait! Makai asked for a Barbie and art supplies. Beck wanted a "Bug Gun" just a gun to shoot pretend bugs with. Makai had a cute preschool program and she was an angel. These two ladies are Makai and Beck's preschool teachers. We made some really fun Christmas memories for our first Christmas away from "home."

Our Sweet Little Baby Diesel

We are all smitten with our new pups. He is so much fun and so sweet and cuddly. Ike took him to the vet the other day and our 8 lb baby is already 20 lbs and he's not even 4 months old yet! He's going to be a little bit bigger than what we were thinking!

Thank Goodness for Thanksgiving and Great Friends!

We were lucky to have two Thanksgivings this year (Ike had to work on Thanksgiving so he only got a pre-Thanksgiving). We had a great dinner with the Allred family at our house and then Luke and Carissa had us over the next day for a wonderful feast!

Welcome Home Diesel!!!

Meet the newest addition to the Morgan family. He's not exactly the kind of baby I've been begging for, but he sure is sweet! He is just the cutest little guy and we are all so excited to have a new pet. He's only two months old and he's really playful and just adorable. I'll be really happy when he's potty trained (didn't I just go through all this?)
