Christmas : Part Two

Christmas Day

We had a fabulous Christmas!

We looked in our stockings . . .



I tend to buy at least one kinda girly thing for one of my boys every Christmas.

I can't help it.
I get sick of cars, trucks, robots, dragons, etc.

Andy was the victim this year.

He got a glow worm.


I think his reaction says it all :)


These are Andrew's steps to opening presents-


Step 1 : push the box over to the couch.


Step 2: Stand on the box to reach Brother's toy


Step 3: Only show interest in the actual present when Brother is opening it for you.



Christopher's steps are much more quick and efficient-


Step 1: Open the present in one whirlwind move


Step 2: Get annoyed that Baby Brother has to come see it too.



Davin and I don't really get each other a lot of presents for Christmas.

But, you can bet a few BYU labeled attire will be opened.



We also opened presents with my Mom and Dad and siblings and their wives.

Too much fun.
My parents got us all huge 72 hour kits with each item individually wrapped. We had some good laughs as we would cheer on the person opening their supply of toilet paper or cooking oil.
Good times!!
We loved it.

The boys got to play a little rock band,

which they looooved.


Andy got a ball pounder


and he carried that hammer menacingly around the house whacking our knees any chance he got.

Ouch.


A secret Santa (hem hem - Shawn and maybe a certain girlfriend of his) got Christopher the dreaded Spongebob Squarepants.


Next year Shawn.
Next year.
Watch out.

Oh, what a great day!
We loved every minute.
Hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did!

Christmas : Part One

Christmas Eve

Oh my goodness!
I cannot believe Christmas is over.
I already miss it.
We had so much fun!

On Christmas Eve,

The stockings were hung by the bookshelf? with care



The presents were tucked beneath the tree



We made (and ate) cookies for Santa Claus



We wrote a very lovely letter to Santa Claus


where Christopher asked for a Percy train, a dragon castle, and a toy for Baby's stocking.


We had a warm Christmas Eve bath



where we made Christmas hats out of cups




We ended with a story


and little boy squeals (as he ran to his bed)

We love Christmas Eve

Surprise!

Happy Birthday to my delightful Christopher!
4 years old TODAY!
The time has flown by.

We had a surprise party (notice the pic of him walking in the door - so funny!) for him yesterday night at Great Grandma's house and he was in little boy heaven.

His uncle made him a Disney's "UP" cake (So cute) and he, of course, was spoiled rotten by everyone.

We love this little guy! or should I say BIG guy.

Christmas wishes

Have you ever wanted something silly?

Something that you know may be weird, funny, or a little corny, but you can't help but love it?

Mine is called Kohler's Pig.

I have always loved this painting.

It's just a landscape from far away . . . . but when you look closer . . . .



There's a flying pig!!!

What's not to love?

I am determined that someday this painting will have a place in my home :)

I wanna hear about the silly things you want?

Pretty please.

The Mystery Box

She made it.

She's here!
But, now that she is here there are a few things that will have to go.




My elves worked feverishly in the basement putting her together.


Thank you!



I love her :)

Things We Love Lately . . . .

We love that this little one cannot sit down for anything.


He has to be standing and he is getting pretty beat up from falling. Poor guy.


I love that he had little rosy cheeks

after helping Daddy shovel the driveway.


We love our Christmas merry go round and it's fun Christmas songs (even if it is old and falling apart).



I love that after almost 6 years of wishing, hoping, dreaming, and maybe a little begging SHE will be here on Friday . . . . .
