Christmas 2012

 Christmas was so much fun.  We went to Idaho to be with family.

Here are Papa and Nam nam with all 4 grandkids!

 It was so fun getting to spend time with cousins!

Bridger is such a cute and silly boy!

Nam nam and sweet Adley!

 The boys were so excited that Santa came through the streets on a firetruck!

 And better yet, he threw candy to the kids!

 Each of the boys got a t-shirt apron to make cookies in.

 Reinactment of the Christmas story.

 Christmas morning.  Can you guess which boy is not feeling so well?

 Other than Karter being sick, things were perfect...

Nothing beats Christmas morning with family!

 Even Grandma Bell came up to Idaho!

 The whole Arritt clan!

 We sure felt blessed and we just loved the whole Christmas season.

Oh, and I had to throw in a couple pictures of Karter's winter concert at school.  He's such a handsome boy!

New addition! It's a.....

Hmmm, I just realized after I made the previous post, that I haven't mentioned anything about being pregnant on my blog!!  Sometime I think everyone is on facebook, but that's not true is it?

Well, Kollan and I are super super excited to be having another baby.  We had almost thought that maybe our family was only meant to have 2 kids.  So we are thrilled right now and so excited for the birth of our new baby.............................................................

GIRL!!!  We feel so blessed!

Ty Turns 5!!

 WOW time passes so quickly!  

It's hard to believe our little guy is 5 already.

We had celebrated big for Karter's 5th birthday, 

so we wanted to do the same for Ty.

 We did a party at the Inflatable Fun Gym and it was a blast with 15 friends there!

 I loved when they were feeding the play food to the animals.  Cute.

 With his birthday crown, looking happy.

 Tiki Hut shaved ice- the best!

 My hurried 2nd attempt at an angry birds cake (the first one had been made with pregnancy brain and I hadn't included any water in the cake mix!)

 Ty's handprint will serve as a memory of this fantastic day.

 Lots of great gifts from fun friends!

 Ty especially wanted lego kits this year.  

He LOVES to put them together all by himself, by following the "constructions"

Oh how we love this sweet, happy, smart, fun boy!!!  He is such a joy to our family and such a cute little stinker.  Along with legos, he also really enjoys playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii,  pretend games like spies or superheros, board games, drawing, writing, reading, building.  He is really a smarty and loves to use big vocabulary words, even if he doesn't use them right.  I wish I could think of some right now.  I love how he says "perkfect", and last night we all got a laugh when he said we could cook "snores" around the fire.  He makes us laugh daily!  Happy Birthday Ty!
