• how much Lincoln loves his cousins. we went to see Frozen(see it!!!) and he was yelling "hey lily!" down the aisle!
• remembering last Christmas and how much Lincoln has grown! he was so excited to wake everyone up on Xmas day because he Knew Santa came and Santa brings presents! 
• I feel like Lincoln got perfect gifts! Mommy knows what to ask Santa for! He got a ride on horse named Cowboy from his great grandma which made me tear up, he was so happy bouncing around. And the klip klop castle from santa. it's just too cute. 
• late night card games with the siblings. I love it , I love it. I look forward to Screw Your Neighbor every year.
• tamales! 
Ok, I realize this is not a tamale that beautiful emi is eating. Kellen made homemade Twinkies too! I wish to make tamales every single Christmas for the rest of my life! I love that it's a team effort! and I love eating them! It seems like we made so many but they were all eaten by lunchtime the next day. Because we ate them for dinner and then breakfast hehe. We had to ration the tamales!!! I'm going to attempt making them soon, but it won't be as good because I'll be alone.
• rocket launching! We buy the girls a non traditional science type gift every year. since we knew how much Lincoln likes them, kalob figured the girls would too. He was right. And the whole family plodded outside into the snow across the street to watch our rocket shoot So high and then parachute down.
It was Really awesome! they took turns pushing the button to ignite the engine; it would catch fire and Blastoff Lincoln would yell. It was sooo cold might I add.

They painted their cones and then decorated them with pompoms. Lincoln found a bag of googley eyes. Needless to say, his tree was watching us :)
• my most favorite moment was when my sister got her big present. A guitar, that she didn't know if she was getting. The fam was playing hide and seek the night before, and Jency his behind the couch, where said guitar was also hiding. She pushed it out not realizing, and Riley said " whose guitar is this?" and emi was sitting right there on the couch. I panicked!! And kalob said "whose getting a guitar for Christmas? Kellen? " I was like "Shut your mouth!" I thought the surprised was surely ruined. But emi didn't hear I guess, because Christmas morning came and went. And she didn't get it. My mom announced Xmas was all over, and emi just slouched with sadness. then mom said "wait! There's one more!" And Clint pulled it out! And emi just cried with joy, and I cried with joy. And who knows if anyone else cried. But I just love when people are so happy. It was the best! I received good stuff of my own, but seeing other people that happy...that's my favorite.
Hope everyone's Christmas holiday was as equally good as mine!
