Yes I am aware that it's February and I am just posting about Christmas, but family stuff and home renovations have taken over the majority of my time. So here is a quick picture recap of the holidays for the Clegg family!
The festivities for us started a few days before Christmas when Nana came up for a visit! She was here for 3 days and 2 nights and the kids were in Heaven!!!
We were blessed enough to be invited to the Grand America for Lunch and a visit with Santa! This guy was AWESOME!!! He did magic tricks and sang songs and even had a gift for each kiddo!
Ella wasn't scared at all!

Jaden thought Santa was the greatest thing ever!
The kids playing with their loot instead of eating...what's new!
Afterwards we headed to the gateway, since we were in Salt Lake I wanted to do something fun and Jaden LOVES stuffed animals and so we took the kids to Build-a-Bear! Jaden made Max the cowboy dog and Ella made Cocoa the bear! :)
Daddy and the Bug! (who has actually decided walking is cool and is EVERYWHERE now!)
Stuffing Max
Ella Bug's turn!
Ella got a little done with the pictures!
Christmas Even was spent with some family friends who are more family than friends.
Ella trying to decide if walking is all its cracked up to be!
We got home a little late so Ella went right to bed while Jaden set out cookies for santa!
The next morning Jaden was SO excited to see if Santa had come, and he wasn't disappointed!
Ella was excited about her toys too!
Jaden was VERY helpful with Ella's presents :)
(for the record I am aware that Ella has a popsicle first thing in the morning but she was teething! Don't judge me!)
Jaden and his construction train set! The hit of the day!
The rest of the day was spent in Salt Lake and Lehi with family! I should have taken pictures of the kiddos in their church outfits but I failed! So frustrating because I even made Ella's! Anyways they looked adorable, just so you know!New Years Even we wanted to do something fun with the kids so we went to FatCats and played all the arcade games! The kids (and Shawn) had a ball and actually got a good amount of tickets!
It was a great night! Especially because we got home early and everyone went to bed on time!!!
The next day this little boy, got all grown up on me and went to his first day in Primary which he LOVED!!!! At least I got a picture of that!!!
I hope your holiday was as wonderful as ours!!! Here's to a great 2012, we have lots to look forward too and a lot of resolutions to uphold but that's a whole other post! Cheers!
