Christmas Morning 12-25-08

Justin got a skate board, pads and a helmet and Ryan got a scooter, pads and a helmet.

Santa brought the boys guns. Oh, silly Santa.
I put these in the wrong order. This is the boys coming out on Christmas morning getting the first look at what Santa brought. I know the pictures are dark. Jeff is going to lighten them up for me, but I was tired of waiting and I know many of you are waiting for baby pictures. So, Christmas is done so I can go on to the baby pictures now.

Christmas Eve 12-24-08

We have a family tradition of opening up new pajamas on Christmas Eve. The boys look forward to getting new jammies every year.
My darling little boys all dressed for bed.
Another tradition is for the boys to get a new game on Christmas Eve. This year they got Cranium Family Edition. They loved it and Jeff and I and my parents enjoyed playing it with them.

Joshua thought it was a chair and loved sitting on it. Poor guy got put to bed before we played the game.

Candy House 12-24-08

The boys had a great time making a gingerbread house or "candy house" as Ryan would say on Christmas Eve day. I was so glad to be home from the hospital to spend Christmas with my family. We weren't sure I would make it home for the holidays. I am so glad I stuck it out and waited until the 26th to go have our baby.

A visit with Santa 12-08

Can you tell what Joshua thought of Santa? The lady in the picture is my good friend Crystal from my Ward. She was trying to calm Joshua down to get a cute picture. However, it didn't work. He wanted away from the strange man in the red suit. Justin and Ryan enjoyed their time with Santa. Maybe next year Joshy!

Deck the Halls 11-08

Joshua loved decorating the Christmas tree. However, he loved undecorating it even better. A few days after decorating it there were no ornaments on the bottom 2 feet of the tree.Ryan was so into decorating this year. He was singing Christmas songs and having a great time.
I can't believe how much this picture reminds me of Justin at this age.
Justin loved to put the ornaments on the tree especially when he was on the ladder. I can't tell you how many times Jeff or I removed Joshua from the ladder. I was so glad when Jeff took it back to the garage.
This is my very favorite picture of the day.

I am glad to be back to blogging finally. I have to go back and do in chronologically because I am crazy like that. Jeff blogged about the baby and it's a good thing because left up to me everyone would still think I was pregnant. I refuse to blog out of over - I know I'm crazy. The baby pictures are coming soon.
