After Christmas Fun

  Sadee and Ava are the cutest nieces ever. We love them so much! We were so lucky to have them come spend a few days with us after Christmas. It was like a non-stop 3 day party. See the pictures to take part in all the fun we had.

Opening presents. Their favorite thing was the lockets we got them. I found some for super cheap.

We went to Trafalga and tried the mini golf. They have a really cool black light course we thought they'd love, but they didn't even last 3 holes before they were sick of it the game.

Trafalga has a 4D Theater they loved. The chairs move, vibrate, blow wind on you, etc.

The girls LOVED the arcade games. I know Ava's face doesn't look like it, but she was loving the race car driving.

Do you see all those tickets?! That's only about of third of what they won. They both kept hitting Jackpots and then Jeff won them a ton on the Pink Panther game behind them. The got 3,200 tickets. And below is what they traded in their tickets for.

Sadee got a stuffed dog and a gumball machine and Ava got an awesome glittery princess lamp and candy. It was way too much fun.

One of their presents from us was wooden jewelry boxes, pictures frames, paints and paint brushes. They sang along to Mandy Moore and Taylor Swift while painting. It's so cute how they know all the words to so many songs. Love them.

 We went and saw Legend of the Guardians in 3D.

 

We also went to a place in Lindon called Jump On It. As you can see from the video, there are trampolines everywhere. There's also 4 or 5 bounce houses that the girls loved too. We went right after dinner which, apparently, is a bad idea. Sadee kept complaining of stomach pain that sounded like heartburn. Whoops.

 

 

There were a bunch of high school and college guys doing crazy jumps. This is the best one I got on video.

We went sledding at Rock Canyon Park and had SO MUCH FUN. It was exhausting climbing up the hill a million times but we flew down so fast, it was worth it. At one point, all four of us went down at the same time. Two on one sled, two on the other, and we held on to each others legs. I wish we could have had someone take a video of it because we went so dang fast. It was hilarious.

Jeff and Sadee just before hitting a jump. And of course, I missed getting them in the air. They wouldn't do it again for me to try and get another picture. I'm thinking the landing probably hurt a bit. Haha.

Braving the hill on their own.

Poor Ava. Just look at that face. Obviously, this was when all the fun was over and we were frozen to the core. Miserable.

The girls love the show So You Think You Can Dance and like to play their own version of it quite often. Usually we play it at Grandma and Grandpa's house and they have a bunch of their mom's clothes over there that they love to dress up in. Playing the game at our house, with a whole new wardrobe (mine) was almost more excitement than then could handle. They danced while Jeff and I sang along in our Rock Band microphone. (Yes, we have Rock Band 3. Very fun).

I think Ava looks so pretty here. Such a cutie.

 We also went to the Lehi Aquatic Center where Sadee went down the big slide by herself and where Ava jumped in from the side over and over again by herself. They were very proud of themselves. We played games, ate ice cream, watched movies, and had a blast. All the fun made up for having to work during the holidays. Thanks Kari and Dave for letting them come stay with us and Grandma and Grandpa for driving them down here!
