Annual Ewing Christmas Party

Every Monday before Christmas we get together with the Ewing family (41+ people) for a Christmas Party. This year was nice because the Egan's were able to join the family for the festivities (they are from Oregon and usually come down after Christmas). It was fun, and the kids had a blast. This year Great-Grandma added a new activity for the kids. They frosted and decorated sugar cookies, and Grandma Ewing helped Micaela- they had so much fun together.

Playing in the SNOW!!!

It has snowed alot latey and we have taken advantage of it. Micaela has discovered how much
fun playing in the snow is. She loves to eat the snow and now with Papa's help, we like playing in it too! Papa helped Micaela make a snowman and a moose. But the next day she was calling her moose a reindeer.




How do you make the perfect Snow angel?? You lay down, flap your arms for wings, move your legs side to side and then have Papa lift you up so you don't have to walk in it!!! PERFECT little ANGEL!

HMM...

1. I also HATE to clean bathrooms. As I am sitting here typing, Josh is cleaning the bathrooms because I am going to clean the house tomorrow...ha ha!
2. I like the Broncos, cheer for them and love to go to their home games. But I don't really follow them. There are times people will ask me who they are playing week after week and I am not sure. So really, I am not a very good fan at all. :)
3. If I know what I like at a restaurant, I will order it over and over again. I don't care if its simple as spaghetti, I would rather spend money on something I KNOW I like than waste it on trying something new. Josh hates this about me.
4. I LOVE bread. I could eat bread all day long if I had to.
5. I met Josh at Continental. Here is how we met....He made a comment about the Broncos who lost that very day. I didn't know he was a fan as well, so I told him to "Shut the hell up". Yep, and that got him.
6. I don't really like to cook. I LOVE to bake, but when it comes to cooking I'm not good at it. I am getting better at this because of Micaela, but it has taken me 27 years.
7. I went to College in Rocksprings for 2 years and almost every weekend I would drive back to Kemmerer, my home town, to spend the weekends with my parents. Don't ask me why now, but for some reason being at home with mom and dad sounded like more fun. ??? Shelby and I did have some great wekeends though - huh shelb!

I am tagging Shelby, Jen, Stefanie...and that is it. I know I am supposed to do 7, but I am only doing 3. :)

Enjoy!

Oh Christmas Tree...

We went to find a tree a few weeks ago and Daddy and Micaela went searching for the perfect tree while mommy and Taylor stayed in the car (it was way too cold). Daddy tried to get her to go for a tree that was taller than he was, but she wasn't having it. She gravitated towards the smaller ones, we tried everything to try to change her mind...but nope she had her mind set. The sales lady even tried, she walked up to Micaela and said..why don't we look at these other trees?? And Micaela knew where she was headed, looked up at Josh and said.."But daddy I want THIS tree". So here is our tree- its very special since it was one that Micaela had her heart set on!!

Loving our little brother

Taylor LOVES when you talk to him, he smiles and talks back. This morning Micaela was talking to him while he was in his swing and he thought it was the best thing ever. He loves his big sister!

2 Month Stats

Man, time flies when you are going crazy. :) We went to Taylor's 2 month appointment yesterday and he weighs 12.5 lbs and is 22 1/2 inches long (that puts him at the 75% in weight and 50% in length). He is a MONSTER! Josh was joking that he REALLY is like his Uncle Brock...ha ha. He had to get his shots, and that was sad. He even screamed his high pitch scream last night before bed because his legs hurt so bad.

I will have to post a pic of him later today :)

Taylor's First Utah game

We went to the Utah vs Oregon basketball game. This was Taylor's first game ever, and he did great. He LOVED all the excitement. He normally doesn't like to just sit on your lap - you usually have to be up walking around or bouncing him. He sat on Josh's lap the whole game and even fell asleep at the end. Lucky for him, he now gets to go to another one :) Micaela enjoyed the treats, I mean game, too.

We are always saying that Taylor looks like my brother, Brock, but how can you not..look at him??!!!

And this one in his cute "skiing" outfit (thanks Brian!!), I was trying to take a few pictures for x-mas cards, but this is the only one that turned out. So Stinkin cute if I say so myself! :)
