Christmas with the babies

Christmas Morning


Reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Putting out food for the reindeer


Making cookies for Santa

This year Christmas for us was a little bit different. Tate and Bradan were going to be in Kentucky and Jon had to work, so Nathan was going to stay at his mom's. So we had Christmas Eve on Dec. 23rd with the babies and Christmas on the 24th. Addison and Jace were SO excited for Christmas this year and were into everything. They loved visiting Santa, seeing the Christmas lights at the temple, talking about baby Jesus, singing carols-they know all the words to several. On our Christmas Eve they couldn't wait to put cookies out for Santa and food for the reindeer. It was so fun to watch how excited they were. They are getting so big!

1st Christmas Party

As usual, something is wrong with my computer or blogger or something and I can't journal in-between pictures. I am beginning to think maybe it is me. This was our Christmas party that we had to celebrate a little before the big boys headed off to their other parent's for Christmas. We had FUN, FUN, FUN! We all got new jammies, put those on, opened a few presents, had a big Christmas breakfast-which I got no pictures of, and then later Grandma, Uncle Gary, Aunt Lori, and Katie came over and we decorated some delicious sugar cookies that grandma made. I think this was my favorite part, I ate at least 5 that night and may or may not have eaten several the next day. YUMMY! We had pizza and wings and watched a little of Nathan's new Brian Regan DVD. I finished off the night by taking Jace to urgent care for an upper respitory infection, but all in all it was a great night. It was awesome to get to hang out as a family and make some memories.
