For Christmas this year Sam gave me a weekend getaway in San Diego, CA. I have to say that it was the best Christmas present ever! We flew out on Friday morning and stayed until Sunday afternoon, which was perfect time away from the kids. The weather was amazing, I could go for 75 degree weather in January any day! We had so much fun doing anything we wanted at anytime. Shopping, laying by the pool, hot tub at night, movies, sleeping in, and of course eating at yummy restaurants. I would have to recommend this gift to every husband, your wife will love you just a little more. Thanks Sam for a much needed vacation it was a great weekend. Sad to say we didn't get one picture, but we did have a great time.
Every year at Christmas time Sam and I get together with our friends, have dinner, listen to the kids scream and run around, and talk about everything! I love it because I never get to see these guys and they are the best friends in the world. We all have lots of great memories together and love laughing about them. Thanks guys for always finding time in your busy Christmas schedules to spend with Sam and I, we always look forward to it and can't wait until the next time.
This month has been such a busy month I am going to combine all of December into one post.
My family started off December with taking the kids up to Salt Lake to Temple Square to see the lights, stay at the Marriott, go to dinner and of course swim. This is a tradition that Sam and I have been doing for the last few years and we love it. There are no pictures of this wonderful experience because they are on sam's phone, but it was great anyway. Then on to the busy family parties and all the excitement of Christmas Eve to arrive. We did have a great Christmas this year as we do every year, and we are especially grateful that we get to spend it with all our family and friends so close to us. We love you all an we hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. Love, The Higginson Family

I have to blog about Jaxon and his present that he gave me for my birthday this year because it is the most precious thing that he could have given me and I want it remembered forever. Jaxon was going to have a sleepover at his cousins house and wasn't going to see me the next morning because Sam was taking me to Park City for the day so he asked if he could give me his present early. He came back into the room with a huge grin on his face (I love his smile) and handed me an envelope. I opened it and there was a letter inside that read.
Dear mom
You are the best mom in the world. You are sweet and cute to(dad) and your nice. Here is one of the things I like most. It's when you sing to me and when you hug me I fill good inside and your hugs are warm. I like it when I'm sick and you take good care of me, and when you tuck in bed at night, but most of all it's THAT YOU LOVE ME!!!! (he really did put the last of it in all caps) He is such a great kid and I want him to know how much I love him.
Ok so I am a slacker and haven't posted for a long time. Here are some halloween pictures and pumpkin carving pictures. On halloween night I had a party at my house with all of my family it was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast in our neighborhood it was crazy this year, tons and tons of kids. Thanks to the warm weather the kids stayed out late to let the adults visit in peace and quiet, which never happens there are way to many higgy kids running around. Beware there are a lot of pictures
This is Lia and Ledger (SO CUTE)
