Okay catching up on Christmas and the New Year.  So on Christmas Eve we went to Cave Creek to Matt's sister Sheri's house.  We had Olive Garden and it was so good!  Then we opened some presents

and our Niece Heather (who is older than me by the way... and has 2 cute little boys Zach and Caden) read a story about Santa and Jesus.  It is a really cute story.  Then we headed home.  Thanks everyone for the gifts and the good time and good food!  Matt had to go pick Ella up at Grandma and Grandpa's.... she loves to go on rides with them.  They even have a car seat in their car just in case.  
Aunt Sheri and Uncle Greg got these adorable jammies for the girls!
Christmas Morning we got up and waited for Ella to wake up.  Grandma and Grandpa Bardin came over.
  
Thanks for the awesome "10 little indians" and teepee that you made Grandma Jan!  Ella loves it!  She Actually lined them up like this all by herself!

After our lovely Christmas morning at our house we went over to my parents house.  Of course I forgot my camera!  I'm so mad at myself for that.  Everyone had fun.  We had a girls gift exchange and the guys had their own.  I made out with a cool game and Matt got a toolbox and flashlight and maybe something else I can't remember but as soon as we got home he put stuff in the toolbox all nice and neat-like.  The girls got a lot of good stuff, too.  Thanks to everybody for everything.  (Lindsay, we need to plan game night asap!)

On New Years Eve we went over to Matt's bro Tim's house.  (No pics again, sorry!)  We had fun eating lots of junk and playing games.  Ella and Macy made it passed midnight.  Matt and I were fighting it.  It was a lot of fun.  

On Tues. we celebrated Dung's birthday.  (Big 19!!!)  Happy Birthday to Dung!  We had some good mexican food and yummy cake and ice cream.  Then Matt and I and the girls and Dung also went to see the Christmas Lights at the Temple.  We met Matt's good friend Nate and his family, Heidi, Maesyn, and Jake there.  Then later my bro. Spencer and Lindsay and Livvy and Avrey met us there.  All those silly girls had so much fun.  Oh and we saw Sister Nuku there!  (And Sister Harper...... Ryan :-))

That's about it.  Sorry it's so long!

Dang, you guys know how to party! It looks like everyone had a good time. I'm impressed you let the girls stay up past midnight! I watched my friend's 2 year old (so they could get drunk) and I was done by 8:30. Luckily we were just across the street. Ahh, the holidays! I loved the pics!
