Christmas

For Christmas Dinner we made pizza's! The boys thought it was great to make it all by themselves and get to put whatever they wanted on them! There was just one rule: whatever you make you eat!

Making cookies for Santa

"For the reindeer to drink". McKay made cider for the Reindeer... It consisted of apple juice, water, carrots, marshmallows, chocolate chips, chocolate cake & Cinnamon! They loved it so much they left a note asking for the recipe!

Opening Christmas pajamas

Our tradition is to get new games to play on Christmas Eve. I seriously forgot how much fun Perfection is!

All he wanted was Lego's!

Stocking Stuffers

It took him a while to realize that there was a Wii there too!

Cannon was teething and not feeling very well...

McKay, Cohen, Carter & Ethan - Carter's pose cracks me up!

The blanket that Grandma made for Cannon

We went to Idaho for New Years and celebrated with the Wall's

Pajamas from Grandma!

We were lucky enough to be able to spend Christmas with the Turley's this year. The boys thought that it was the greatest to be with Grandma and Grandpa. Carter wanted Lego's this year and McKay wanted a Wii! James had been telling McKay that the elf in charge of making Wii's was sick... So, McKay was a little stressed out! On Christmas Eve he finally told me "Mom, I have been thinking about it and it is ok if I don't get a Wii - I will just be very happy with whatever Santa brings me!" Then the next morning he didn't see it right away - and sure enough he was happy even when he thought he didn't get it! Carter saw the Lego's and sat right down and started to play with them and wouldn't open any of his other presents!

We headed up to Idaho over New Years to celebrate with the Wall's. We got to spend lots of time with family and friends and spent an afternoon sledding and went to the new Chipmunks movie with Amy and the boys. It was only the second movie Carter had been to and he was standing up dancing in the isle! He loved it! It was sooo nice to get to spend a night with Carson and Lacey and sooo sad to see McKay and Addy heartbroken when it was time to leave! I truly could feel their pain because I miss them too!

All in all it was a fabulous holiday!!!
