The family is getting big enough that we have to start setting up a kids table!
Carson's making his pirate face. Not quite sure what happens to him when I raise the camera to take a picture. Stroke maybe?
Reese is still growing into the table.
Then tradition demands a reenactment of the nativity.
Reese was the angel this year and he was pretty much the cutest thing ever. Even though he looks like he's going to kill someone in this picture he really loved it! He still talks about how he was the angel.
Carson was being a punk because we made him turn off the Wii. That kid is a gamer!
And Gwen doing her part... getting into trouble!
After the Nativity, we headed home to get ready for Santa to come. When we got home, Empey Ganomie had left us a box of jammies so the boy's put them on and rushed to bed. This was our first Christmas at home.
I thought they would wake up super early but they slept in and we had to wake them up so we would have enough time to open presents and get ready for church.
Gwen's first Christmas present.
The rest is on video but I had to get a picture of the boys in their Boise State jerseys. My mom sent them and the second they were pulled out of the box, the boys stripped off their pajamas and put them on. They were pretty excited!
After everything was opened, we rushed to get ready for church. Luckily, it started at 10:30. We were all dressed in our cute Christmas church outfits so I wanted to get a picture but when we got home Carson was in a bad mood and wouldn't have any of it. So we'll try it another Sunday.
We cleaned up the house a bit and then headed to the Crandalls where we had another gift exchange.
Emily and Kyle gave the boys BYU jerseys and once again, they stripped off their clothes to put them on. Reese's was so big it looked like a dress!
Grandma Mutti got some sweet feather hair extensions that she was pretty stoked about. :)
Then for dinner we had the traditional prime rib dinner.
It was a great Christmas and it was fun spending Christmas morning with just our little family but then having the opportunity to hang out with all the family too.
Alex and Alia came up the next day and spent the week with everyone. We got to go skiing a couple of times, we played some games, but mostly we spent time playing Just Dance 3. The little boys are awesome at it, especially Reese! I'll have to post a video later.
New Year's Eve came quick and we had a countdown for the little boys at 8:00. I don't think they really understood what was going on or what the big deal was but it was still fun for them. We spent the night at the Crandalls and in the morning we had to say goodbye to everyone who was leaving. Then we went home and went to church.
