Christmas Eve

Santa came on Christmas Eve...the kids were so excited the best was Lacy... Her face told it all she couldn't decide if she was excited or scared of Santa.. Eliza, Briana and Velzy were totally excited to have a personal visit from Santa. Santa gave them all little gifts and went on his way to deliver toys.


The girls had fun making shadows in drive way......They look like The Charlie's Angels!!
Sandy and Me
Mary has taken up drinking....Martinelli's Apple Cider..she guzzled that bottle. It was so funny.

Eliza and Geneve were so excited to see each other.

An Ashworth Favorite



Mary loved looking for all the hidden treasures Especially her 'babies' (pacifiers)in her stocking.

Daddy got a massager but Mary loved it so much. She would lay on the floor and just Dad massage her back!

Breakfast with Santa

Eliza's school had a Breakfast with Santa Fundraiser on Saturday. She was very excited to go....so I packed up the girls Saturday morning for a fun filled couple of hours!! We got to eat bagels from sunrise bagels and then we got to see Santa..... Eliza and Mary Scarlet were so excited to see Santa. We had to wait in line for about 20 minutes..Eliza hoped right up on his lap and was patiently waiting for Mary. I line I kept asking Mary "Do you want to see Santa?" She would nod her head yes and then and point to Santa. But when we got about 5 feet from Santa she started trying to climb over my shoulder. She sat on his lap for about a 1/2 a second before she started screaming!! She was so funny. I had the photographer take the picture even though she was crying. It is just too classic to pass the photo opportunity up. I didn't get any pictures on my camera but we do have a hard copy on our fridge now!!

Waiting in line for Santa

After our picture with Santa we went to decorate a picture frame...this was serious business for the girls....Mary seriously thought she was creating a masterpiece too...




After decorating the firemen came and the kids got to get in the fire truck and look around. The best part for Mary Scarlet was the Dalmatian....she just couldn't get enough of him :)

Joe's Place Farm

Eliza had a photo shoot with Shannon last Saturday... Shannon wanted to have a video made of her doing a photo shoot so she asked Eliza to be her model. Check out the pictures on Shannon's buisness blog at http://www.theblankpage.typepad.com/sneakpeek/

Eliza did a great job so good that the Vancouver Family Magazine is publishing one of her photo's on the COVER!! You can check out the cover at http://www.vancouverfamilymagazine.com/ .

One of the places we went was Joes Place Farm. Here is a picture of Mary at the farm later that day when we all (Shannon's Family as well as ours except Ryan he had to work) went back to check out the maze!! It was so fun!! I also got permission to post a couple pictures from Shannon's personal blog they are here too. Obviously, her pictures are to die for so I just had to share with you all. If you'd like to check out her work her is her buisness link http://www.shannonsewell.com check it out!!

Thanksgiving with the Ashworths

Our Family Thanksgiving was last Sunday. I wasn't feeling up to my normal snappy click click personality so I didn't get very many good snapshots but here are a couple highlights from the night. We had a great time seeing extended Ashworth Family and the food was GREAT!! Thanks Grandma Ashworth and everyone else who made this evening happen!!

Thanksgiving Day

Happy Turkey Day!!

At least on day late. I am waiting for my girls to get up so we can go to the mall on black friday.... the biggest shopping day of the year!! While I am waiting I thought I would post a few highlights from our Turkey Day. Ryan had to work, so the girls and I spent most of the day at our friends house were Eliza and her friend Elley put on a Rockin' Concert for us. Too Cute!! Here are a couple pictures from our day.

Disneyland for Drew's Birthday!!!

We went to Disneyland for Our friend Drew's Birthday!! We got to stay in the Disneyland Hotel and it overlooked Downtown Disney!! We had a fabulous time! Eliza and Drew got to ride California Screamin the highlight of the trip at least for Eliza!! She rode about 5 times. For those who don't know Califonia Screamin in a roller coaster in California Adventure the takes you upside down. She absolutely loved it! Check out the slide show for more pictures.....

Pumpkin Carving Frenzy!

Well Halloween has come and gone.. We carved pumpkins this year in a frenzy this year. As we were going to walk out the door for trick or treating Eliza remembered about carving pumpkins. I thought we would just not do it this year but that was unacceptable for Eliza. Here are a few pic's from our carving frenzy.

Ashley was here with us and good thing she really helped us get through all 3 pumpkins quickly!!

Mary's contribuiton was to eat the raw pumpkin pieces. She loved EATING them;)

One of the finished products. Eliza was very happy to carve her own little pumpkin but was too excited to go trick or treating for a final picture with her pumpkin :(

Halloween Party

This was our Ward Halloween Party! The kids had so much fun!!

Last Soccer Game

Today was Eliza's last soccer game for the season.... They did really well. I unfortunately was to consumed with my sideline duties that I neglected to take any pictures of them playing but here are a couple shots from the post game party!!
