Christmas Events

1- Christmas Eve- the girls opened new matching PJ's. Livie loves them- and has worn them 3 nights in a row! New pj's is a Cristmas tradition.
2- Liv got new bubble bath from Santa. She said "I think I am stinky. I need a bath!" All she really wanted was to try out her new bubbles! She made Claire beards, hats, and "tails" with her bubbles!
3- We finally got a sled. With all our snow and our hill behind our house it was about time!
4- Christmas Eve we made cookies and put them out for Santa. We even put out a carrot for the rein deer.

Polar Express

We went to the "Polar Express" a few weeks back with Grandma and Papa and cousins Jill and Camille. The girls (Olivia and Jillian) LOVED it. They took a train ride (a very slow ride I might add) to see the North Pole. Santa came aboard the train and handed out bells. We had cocoa and cookies as treats. The ride was a little on the long side (1 1/2 hours) but the girls enjoyed themselves. Jillian even sang on the microphone Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for all the passengers aboard!

Baby Luke has Arrived!

Francisco and Emily welcomed baby Luke Javier Darquea this morning at 5:02 am.
Emma's water broke at 3:00 am and by the time she got to the hospital she had Luke with just 4 pushes! There was no time for an epidural! If you go natural that is the best way to do it- FAST! Luke is SO darling and tiny! He grunts a lot. What a sweet sweet little man. We can't wait to baby- sit!!

Christmas Cards

Well- the Christmas cards are out.. If you did not recieve one it is because I either don't have your address, or it is not current! So- e-mail me at Sarahthy5@yahoo.com if you didn't get one! We don't want ANY one left out.. so really, e-mail me.
On a side note I was VERY upset at how DARK the darn photo Christmas card was. The picture just got SO dark when it was printed. I was mad, but didn't care TOO much to re-print, and I sent them anyway!!
Merry Christmas everyone!

All I want for Christmas is...

A Christmas Dress!

Now that she has one I'm not sure what Santa should bring! If you are going to have a Christmas dress you have to wear it to church and parties BEFORE Christmas, right!? Anyway- it really is all she wants for Christmas!

Although she drives me nuts...

She also makes me smile. I'll take the bad as long as I get the good too!

she was modeling the 'secretary' skirt I made her this morning.

She decorated the Christmas tree before we got to it!

Lights at Temple Square

We saw the lights at temple square in SLC last Saturday. They were beautiful. It was chilly, but not too bad. It is nice living so close to these touristy type things!
