A visit from Santa Claus!

So a lot has happened since I last wrote an update. And a lot of people don't know it, but my uncle is the real Santa Claus and being related to Santa Claus, he doesn't just visit in December. My Mom came for a visit from Alaska to meet Paxton and help out. And her brother (Uncle Butch aka: Santa Clause) came to visit too while she was here. Paxton gave him the biggest grin and even seemed to giggle at him. He is such a magical man. =) So here is the proof:



Look closely and you can even see the twinkle in his eye.



We had a great visit with my mom. We scrapbooked and made cards. She played a thousand games of Sorry with Alexis and read lots and lots of books to help entertain the girls. She also held Paxton for a whole day so I could shampoo the carpets. We blessed Paxton on Easter Sunday up in Orem so her and Greg's family also were able to attend. We had a wonderful Easter celebrating with the Dart Family and the Jones Family and came home with too much candy. I will post pictures soon, Greg has them.=)

Paxton is 5 weeks already and is still so sweet and perfect. Greg has been working crazy amounts of hours as usual. Alexis registered for Kindergarten and is getting ready for her Dance recital in a few weeks. Denali had bronchitis and we even had to go to the hospital for chest x-rays. But she is doing just fine now. And I have been trying to keep everything all together and failing miserably at it. But today we are healthy and happy and the sun has been shining brightly this week. Yeah! And Mollie cut my hair today. I don't know what it is about a haircut, but it just makes you feel good.

I posted some sample photos on the Dart Photography blog. I hope to be getting to it soon to post more and we are creating a new website. So check it out: dartphotography.blogspot.com.

Oh, and I still have not got any responses from the previous post. Does everyone not expect Dawn to be able to make a homemade gift, or is it the having to offer the same in return? Hopefully at least one person will reply. Otherwise, I get a homemade gift from my friend Jill for free!!!
