Christmas

I am finally getting around to posting about Christmas. We had a really fun Christmas break this year. We went up to Idaho and spent the holidays with my family. The boys love going to Grandpas house. They love the snow and Tylers favorite part about being in Idaho is that he can see his breath when he is outside. Obviously he has not been around cold weather enough.:)

Anyway we played a lot outside in the snow.

We have to try and soak it all in as much as we can since we don't get that white stuff here in Phoenix.

That pretty little girl dressed in pink is actually Logan! Those were the only snow clothes that fit him at my parents house. But you can tell by the look on his face that he was actually quite excited to wear the pink outfit.

Tyler, Logan and Frosty


"What are you looking at"



Tyler and cousin Abby both smiling and getting along. Obviously this picture was taken at the beginning of our trip. They usually play well the first couple of days together and then it is all down hill from there. :)



Lisa had these cute little aprons made for the boys. My boys love to help in the kitchen so they were very excited to have their own manly aprons

We decorated gingerbread houses one night. Lots of fun but pretty messy. Plus I think more candy ended up in the boys mouths than did on their houses.

All the grandkids got matching pajamas on christmas eve. Here are my three boys.

The best shot I could get of all the grandkids.

Of course we decorated cookies for Santa.

These two were more interested in eating the cookies themselves then giving them to Santa

Christmas morning was probably the most fun we have had with the kids. The older they get the more they understand about Santa and the more excited they get. Santa really came through and brought the boys most of the things that were on their lists.

My boys have been wanting pillow pets for over a year. They finally got them for Christmas. They love their ladybug pillows and have slept with them every night since.

Carsons first Christmas

My sister Lisa gave Rick a pineapple for Christmas. It's an inside joke but the bottom line is that Rick hates pineapple. It gave us all a good laugh christmas morning.

All the excitement from the holidays left these two boys worn out!
