Merry Christmas!!

I cannot believe Christmas has come and gone, it’s crazy how fast December goes by for me every year. We had a wonderful Christmas this year and there was so much joy in our home, how can there not be with 4 happy children right. Gotta love Christmas morning with kids around :) Santa came and the kids were very excited to say the least, our house was bouncing!!! We all got to sleep in which was nice, but since we slept in we got a late start so we opened a few presents and then church started at 10:30 so we stopped opening presents and got ready for church. Church was wonderful and filled us with the spirit. Our Bishop was there for the first time in a long time since he has been battling cancer. It was wonderful to see him and my kids couldn’t stop talking about him being there. I think it made our Christmas day more special that’s for sure. So after church we came home and opened the rest of our presents which was excited and fun for us all. I had put a ham in the oven in the morning so we ate sandwiches for lunch and just relaxed and it was so nice. Then my Mom made a big dinner and we all went over there for dinner in the evening, I forgot my camera at my parents house so no pictures from that party, darnit!! We had a wonderful day and the kids were so appreciative of everything they received and it was just great!!! As always I took tons of pictures of Christmas morning, I want to remember the kids on that special day and the only way I can is by lots of pictures :)

 

I always take a picture before the kids dig into their stuff!!

Josh wanted a pair of black cowboy boots from Santa :)

Jaxon was not sure what to think.

Jaxon loved Daddy’s black boots because they were just like his!!!

Daddy and Jaxon in their twinner boots!!

He had so much fun stacking presents in piles!!

I love this picture!!

Kynzee wanted a nutcracker more than anything and Santa brought her a purple nutcracker…her favorite color!!

Jaxon loved opening the presents and he learned very quickly how to do it really fast!!

Jaxon got a new blanket and sheets that have fire trucks and Elmo on them…he loved them!!!

Maddy loved everything she got and she was so sweet and said thank after everything!! She is at a really fun age.

Josh got another pair of boots. He has worn his work boots out and was in desperate need of some new ones :)

I love how he held the presents with his feet as he unwrapped!!

My Mom made the girls new rice bags and that was a big hit!!!! We love a warm rice bag when we go to bed at our house.

Another pair of slippers that he loved at first and then wanted them off immediately!!

So happy with her American girl doll clothes

My parents give all their grandkids a picture for their first Christmas and since they have had a huge boom of grandkids all at once they got behind on pictures. So this year Jaxon got a picture from them of a little boy and a horse, it is priceless, so special with a special little note on the back of the picture.

Josh got a work vest to keep him warm. I love this picture because he is actually looking at the camera a smiling. Rare occasion from him.

This little one was happy about everything all day!!

This is Kenna’s special picture from Grandma and Grandpa and she loved it!!! She has looked at it over and over since Christmas and she can’t wait to hang it in her new bedroom!!

Jaxon tried so hard to get that hat on his Daddy’s head!!

The girls all got new sleeping bags this year. We have lots of dance competitions to go to in Utah this Spring so these will come in handy at the hotel!!
