Christmas Eve & Morning

It's hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone...it's always never-ending fun with our Four Families. Christian loved all the presents and parties and Mason loved eating all his presents!

Santa Mason and the Big Guy Himself

Annual Matching PJ Pose, Christmas Morning with Breklyn's Family

Yummy Wrapping Paper!

Twas the Night before Christmas and Daddy & Mason were fast asleep.

More Christmas Fun

I talked my hubby into continuing our tradition of sleeping over at my mom's on Christmas Eve (her birthday) in Park City. Don't you just love our matching green (Christian's fave color) jammies?? So stylish!

Santa brought Christian "bad guys and robots" - exactly what he asked for!

"Peek-a-boo, I see you Mom!"

More Tasty Presents!

Attempting to build a Gingerbread Train...it tasted much better than it looked.

My Snow Bunnies

"Don't cha wanna throw a snowball at me Dad?"

'Tis the Season!

It's been a crazy couple of weeks with work (finally finished my huge project-yay!), sick kidos (so exhuasting) and juggling Christmas parties. Call me Scrooge but I hadn't even thought about Christmas until just this week. I really do love the holidays but it's such a busy time of year that it's hard to find time to enjoy the season and just soak it all in.

Note to Self: next year when Christmas music is playing and store decorations are out the day after Halloween - Don't be bugged - instead EMBRACE it as December flies by much too fast!

Now that we've finally Trimmed the Tree (and the whole house), the goal is to slow down and embrace it! Hope you can all find time to do the same! Here are some festive pics of late.

We hit the Festival of Trees with my sister Paige, which always gets me in the Christmas spirit -such beautiful trees and amazing stories. I especially loved checking out a few of my friend's trees. Fabulous work - recognize these trees (Christa, Sarah)??

Who is this weird guy holding me?? Save me mom!

Just wait until next year when you'll be screaming!

Santa: What do you want for Christmas? Christian: "Umm...(looks down at present)...THAT!" (as he flies off his lap). He knows the drill, cooperate for the picture and Santa gives you presents. Smart boy!

Storytime with Mrs. Clause at our church Christmas Brunch. Christian was looking a little hammered with candycane all over his face (yes, that was his breakfast). Love the matching PJs! Happy Baby!

St. George Trip

Christian loved his trip so much - everywhere we went he'd say, "Is this my trip? I like my trip!" He sobbed when it was time to leave HIS St. George house. The boys were such troopers as we dragged them to Vegas for one night. We got a steal on a room and couldn't resist the urge to visit our old stomping grounds, although the activities are much different with kidos. We bowled, swam, ate a lot and shopped. We found an awesome outdoor store that was more like a theme park with massive fish tanks, play shooting ranges and a Harley Santa.

Christian didn't want to get too close to Harley Santa. "How 'bout you come with me mom?"

Who needs turkey when you can have crab legs for Thanksgiving dinner? So yummy!! We even got Christian to try some, although he thought the lemon wedge was much tastier.
