Christmas Day

This Christmas was by far the best! Our kids are at that age where they where beyond

excited. It was so fun to see there faces before and after each gift. Thank you to

all that sent us gifts. They got all the gifts that their little hearts had desired and their

was Christmas magic in the air.

They even got a Wii! Thanks Mom and Dad! The boys did a happy dance

around the room a few times after this gift was opened!!

As for the rest of the day we played no stop with our toys or should I say

the Wii. Then we had some families over for dinner.

The day after we all got the stomach bug good thing we

are on Christmas break.

Christmas Eve

This was our first Christmas away from family and we sure miss them all. We had another family over for dinner and let the kids play. Than after they left the boys got in there Christmas pj's from Grammy J.

We also let them open one present from us....

and boy where they excited. There is just something about a swords and boys!

To end the night we read the story that my parents always read to my family when I was

growing up(from the same book. I was the lucky one to get it) A Visit from St.

Nicholas and like always we never quite get to finish because St. Nick himself and

his reindeer always shows up in the middle of it with a LOUD HO HO HO from outside.

When the boys hear this every year they jump up so fast, run to there beds, get

under their covers and hide their heads.

Hunter Christmas Concert

Hunter had his Christmas Concert this afternoon and did such a great job!

Christmas Tree craft

When my mom was visiting she wanted to make this craft with the boys. So she bought everything and we just ran out of time while she was here to make them. So me and the boys got everything out tonight and made them. They had a ton of fun and sure made a big mess.

Santa

These are pictures from our wards Christmas Party!

Hunter and Tyson were so funny after we got home from the party

Hunter came up and said "mom that was not the real Santa that was the bishop"

(which he really is our 1st counselor but he was close)

Tyson told me "I am glad he is not the real Santa because I asked for an X box but

I have now changed my mind and want a Wii!"

Paxton was very shy and of course Carter did not like siting on his lap at all.

Christmas Caroling!!!

Last night I took the kids out to deliver our baked goods

to our neighbors. Tyson and Hunter really wanted to sing at each house

(thanks for that dad). So everyone we took treats to got a little song with it.

We had to do it fast it was snowing and with each house we went to the snow came

down faster. Its was really cold but they all had a fun time.

Tyson soccer/First snow of the season!!

Tyson has been playing indoor soccer now for awhile.
He has been having so much fun. And was super excited for my
mom to be able to watch him play.

First real snow of the season!!! Today while we had friends over for lunch

it started to snow outside. So we took the kids out to play in it.
