Bad day snowboarding!

 This Christmas I got a new snowboarding. We actually purchased it way back on Black Friday so I have been dying to try it out. I snowboarded a bunch growing up but hadn't been in a few years. Devan is a really big snowboarder and has been for many years! So we were both really excited to go for the first time this year! We also got TONS of snow these past few days!

We also went up with 3 of Devan's friends. Here are two of them, the other was running a little late. 

So after taking a bunch of pictures we headed up the ski lift. We started going down the mountain, about half way down the hill Devan decided he wanted to teach me a few things. I tried it out and ended up catching an edge. I went to catch myself by putting my hands out (even though I have been told a million times not to) and fell right on my wrist. The second I fell the next words that came out of my mouth were "Devan I broke my wrist". 

I laid there for about 10 minutes hoping the pain would stop but it didn't. I told Devan I could ride down the hill with it but that we should probably have it looked at. 

The ski patrol looked at it and told me I should be done for the day so I could go get it x-rayed. They wrapped it up and we headed to the doctor.

We got to the Urgent Care and got some X-rays, which was SO painful. They confirmed my wrist was in fact broken. :(

I am now in a soft cast for 3 days until the swelling goes down. Then I have to get a cast for 6-8 weeks. My wrist actually broke in a few different places. Right now all the bones are still in alinement so they don't  have to do surgery but if they move at all in the next few days I might have to get surgery! So I am crossing my fingers that that won't happen.

So blogging for the next little bit might get put on hold because typing with one hand, which happens to be my left hand is pretty hard!!

Christmas!!

 This is pretty much the first Christmas that Titan really is starting to understand who Santa is. So we decided to go all out with the "Santa" this year. We took a pair of Devan shoes and dipped them into some flour and made some tracks from the fire place to the Christmas tree. It made it look like Santa came down from the chimney to the Christmas tree with snowy shoes on!

All ready to go!!

Devan and I stayed up till about 3 in the morning putting everything together for the kids to wake up to. This truck took FOREVER! It came in a million different part to set up so once it was finished we were pretty excited!

When Titan woke up I ran out to the tree first so I could take some pictures as he saw the tree. Well as soon as he came out he saw me with the camera and got super camera shy and ran back to his room. So we had to put the camera away for a minute so he could check out his new stuff! I think he was a still a little sleepy which made him run off ha! He got better after about 5 minutes and started taking pictures again!

Titan LOVES Monster Trucks so we decided to get him his own.. Well at least as close to a Monster Truck as we could. It was really just a normal truck but he was excited any way!

He also love dinosaurs! I am not sure where the love of dinosaurs comes from but he sure does love them!

Laikynn was super easy to shop for since she is still so little and doesn't understand any of what is going on. I can tell she was still loving all the new things to play with. :)

 And the pictures of the present unwrapping begins....

Titan helped wrap this one!

Giving "Thank you" hugs!!

Even though it was snowing Titan still had to try his new truck out. It didn't last too long because the truck had zero traction in the snow. But he still loved it.  

We had such an amazing Christmas filled with the ones that matter most. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS!

Christmas Eve

 We started off Christmas Eve with the tradition of new Christmas jammies!

Here are a few cute candid pictures of the kiddies. Titan is slowly warming up to Laikynn more and more each day so I love to capture the cute little moments when they happen to interact and laugh together!

They both made Build-A-Bears too for Chirstmas! 

We also did the common tradition of Milk and Cookies for Santa. 

My mom made this cute plate for us a few years ago. She used vinyl lettering and put it on a plate. We now use it every year!

Titan made this cute craft at preschool. It is called "Reindeer Dust". You put oats and glitter in a jar and then on Christmas Eve you sprinkle the dust throughout the yard so that the reindeer can smell the oats and Santa can see the glitter, then they are sure to find your house! Titan loved it!

Then we tucked them in bed so Santa could come! :)
