december catch-up

I would like to do a little catch up. I took Tyce and Jacey to the dentist awhile ago and it was actually very fun. The Pediatric dentist is the bomb. They are so awesome. Tyce and Jacey loved them. Tyce went first and was just a prince. Jacey watched and was very excited to have a turn.

She was very patient with the girl and let her clean and check her teeth. When the actual denist came, she was polite and talked to him but the second he got near her mouth, she ripped off the head phones, napkin, and anything else that was attached and grabbed my shirt in a death grip, trying desperately to make an escape. It was the funniest thing. 

Rustin's little sister paints Jacey's toes every time we go down to visit and Jacey eats it up. She prances around and flashes her toes and fingernails at anyone who will pay attention. Whenever she see's anyone with the fingers or toes painted, she assumes Natty did it. She is such a girl and just loves being pampered.

woah, this dentist pic got out of order, wups.

Holy crap, all of these pics got out of order. Sorry. I'm sort of retarded. This is a dress Grandma Mickel gave Jacey for Christmas and she wore it for 5 whole days after. I barely got it off her to go to bed and I swear before her eyes even opened in the morning she was already saying, "Tan I have my blue dress on?" It was seriously the cutest thing. She pranced around like a proud pony for days, demanding that Tyce "dance" her. It was always "Dance me Tyce!" or "Marry me Tyce!" Ha! poor boy.

I love this pic of my Dad playing puzzles with Tyce. I love that even though my Dad suffers from so much daily pain, he still gets on the floor to play with his grandson. It melts my heart.

Oh the blue dress again. She has been asking me for ear rings lately.....seriously? already? So I got some stickers and put them on her ears which seemed to suffice.

They are waiting for their Dad to come home. Not to say they are sick of me at the end of the day??? Surely not.  Always a happy moment when he walks through the door.

This giant wad of paper came in a package I got so I rolled it out and taped it to the floor to let the kids paint. Tyce painted lot of whales of course and was so cute but Jacey made such a freaking mess.....holy cow, I dont know what I was thinking.

I took Jacey on a horse ride when we went down and it felt so good. Its so fun to share with the kids the things and places that I love. Its those perfect moments in life when everything is right in our world.

more pics out of order, wups.

Ok so seriously I have turned into the best cinnamon roll maker in the whole wide world. Not to toot my own horn, but for real, look how cute!

My friend taught me how to make these and they are divine, and so pretty, I love them. The same recipe is used for dinner rolls and orange rolls and they are equally good. Tyce loves them so much he calls me a baker girl and he just loves when I'm a baker girl. When I make the cinnamon rolls, he tells me he loves me over and over as he giggles. Its the cutest thing.

A few Christmas pics. Christmas couldnt have been anymore perfect. It was such a beautiful time. Tyce and Jacey are at the funnest age for Christmas.

Jacey woke up first and we told her not to wake up Tyce yet and this is where I found her waiting patiently. So dang cute.

We finally went and woke up Tyce and when he realized what day it was, he went from zero to sixty and was up the stairs before his eyes even opened.

What the? I dont know what I did to get all these pictures all over, sorry :)

We had a Christmas at home the Saturday before and that evening we went to the Willard Bay lights which was so much fun! The kids loves it! We went on a sleigh ride, pulled by horses through all the fun lights and the kids ate it up. It was magical.

The Saturday following Christmas is the annual Mickel sledding party. Lots of great company and LOTS of great food - a true Mickel get together. Love it :)

I love this pic of Tyce. He has such an addictive, excitable personality and this picture captures it.

Jacey fell asleep on the 4 wheeler during the sledding party and was didnt stir for 2 hours after we got her home. Poor little lamb, we wiped her right out. She looks like such an angel when she sleeps - like she could never do a thing wrong.......so, so deceiving :)

Well the pictures were all out of order but that was a little December catch-up :)
