MERRY CHRISTMAS

I FORGOT TO ADD THIS PICTURE SO THAT'S WHY IT'S KINDA OUT OF LINE BUT I LOVE THE LOOK ON LOGANS FACE, HE JUST STARTED SUCKING ON HIS BOTTOM LIP A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HE ALSO JUST STARTED SITTING UP. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE HE'S ALMOST 7 MONTHS

THIS DEFINITELY WAS THE HARDEST CHRISTMAS THAT WE HAVE EVER CELEBRATED. MOM LOVED CHRISTMAS, IT WAS HER FAVORITE DAY OF THE WHOLE YEAR, SHE PLANNED AND PLANNED FOR MONTHS FOR THIS ONE DAY. EVERYTHING HAD TO BE PERFECT FOR HER. SHE WOULD SPEND DAYS GETTING HER CHRISTMAS TREE UP, ALL THE DECORATIONS HAD TO BE IN JUST THE RIGHT SPOT, THE LIGHTS HAD TO BE HUNG JUST THE RIGHT WAY, AND OF COURSE THE PRESENTS HAD TO BE WRAPPED WITH ALL THE EDGES CREASED, THEY HAD TO LOOK PERFECT. I ALWAYS HATED WRAPPING PRESENTS WITH HER, BUT I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO WRAP JUST ONE GIFT WITH HER.

M'TALI'S STUFF FROM SANTA
DAKODA'S STUFF FROM SANTA

DALLIN AND LOGAN'S STUFF FROM SANTA

ALL THE PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE FROM MOM AND DAD

EVERY YEAR WE HAVE TO GO WAKE UP THE KIDS ( WHICH I LOVE). THEY ALL SLEEP IN THE SAME BED EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE, I'M NOT SURE THAT THEY SLEEP ALL THAT WELL THOUGH WITH THREE KIDS IN ONE BED...SOON IT WILL BE FOUR. THIS YEAR WE HAD A VERY BUSY DAY SO WE WOKE THEM UP AT 7:30 AND IT WAS NON STOP GO FROM THEN TILL ABOUT 9:00 AT NIGHT

LOGAN WAS THE ONLY ONE WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WAKE UP, HE WAS WIDE AWAKE AND READY TO OPEN PRESENTS

"LOOK MOM THIS ONES FOR DAKODA" LOGAN GOT THIS BUMBO CHAIR FROM SANTA AND HAS ALREADY FIGURED OUT HOW TO CLIMB OUT OF IT.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE, IF YOU LOOK IN THE BACKGROUND LOGAN IS TRYING TO TAKE DAKODA'S PRESENT AWAY FROM HIM. MY TWO CUTE BABIES!! DAKODA IS SUCH A GOOD BIG BROTHER, HE LOVES LOGAN SO MUCH, I ALWAYS LAY HIM ON THE FLOOR TO PLAY AND IF HE EVEN MAKES A FUSS DAKODA WILL PICK HIM UP AND I TELL HIM TO LAY HIM BACK DOWN AND HE SAYS NO HE'S CRYING

M'TALI AND DAKODA TRYING TO HELP LOGAN OPEN HIS PRESENTS

LOGAN LOVED TO OPEN HIS GIFTS IT JUST TOOK HIM A LONG TIME.

TEN MINUTES LATER AND HE FINALLY GOT IT!!!

ALL OF LOGAN'S GIFTS, WE JUST SAT THEM ALL IN FRONT OF HIM AND LET HIM HAVE AT IT FOR AWHILE!!

M'TALI LOVES TO DRAW AND WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT HER DRAWING PAD

DALLIN AND DAKODA GOT NEW CD PLAYERS FOR CHRISTMAS SO THEY COULD LISTEN TO THE BOOK OF MORMON ON CD

WE LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!
AFTER OPENING ALL HIS GIFTS, WE LAID LOGAN DOWN TO LOAD SOME STUFF IN THE CAR AND THIS IS HOW WE FOUND HIM JUST MINUTES LATER, HE WAS SO EXHAUSTED FROM ALL THE EXCITEMENT

AFTER ALL THE PRESENTS WERE OPEN WE HEADED TO AJ'S FOR A WONDERFUL DINNER, WE HAD TONS OF APPETIZERS, HAM, POTATOES, ROLLS, SALADS, AND OF COURSE MOM'S ANNUAL YUMMY CHEESECAKE. THANK YOU AJ AND MISSY FOR HOSTING CHRISTMAS DINNER AT YOUR HOUSE.
