Merry Christmas


We had a very Merry Christmas this year. As usual, we all got spoiled and we came home with many new things that I am still trying to find places for! We spent Christmas Eve with Cam's family and here are the kids dressed up while we told the Christmas story. Both Isabelle and Maddie were Mary this year!

Here we all are in our Christmas jammies.


On Christmas morning Taggart actually woke up around 5 and had a hard time going back to sleep, then he finally did around 6:30 and then we had to wake him up around 7:30. I asked him why he had a hard time sleeping and he said, "I was worried that Santa was going to give me a bunch of coal." I thought that was adorable and he was pretty happy when he didn't get any coal in his stocking.

Parker was just thrilled with everything...can't you tell? He was very chill and loved all his presents now that he actually plays with toys a little.



We had a lot of fun opening presents and exchanging gifts and the we headed to my parents' house for brunch. There were even more presents waiting for us there! Maddie was very excited when she opened up her Dolly.


Taggart and I were playing with a couple of his new toys.

My sister and I both got new coats for Christmas. It was so much fun having McKelle home from New York for the holidays. My kids adore their Auntie Kelle and we were all happy to be able to spend a lot of time with her.

Maddie was happy to help Parker open his gifts from Nana and Papi. In fact, I think she opened all of mine for most of the day too! She and Taggart did NOT get tired of opening gifts, they could have gone all day!

Taggart and Maddie performed The Twelve Days of Christmas for everyone and it was very cute to have them sing and do all the actions. They thought they were pretty special!

And I had to include a picture of the 3 little babies all together. It is so fun to all be together and see how fast these little ones are growing. They are all such good little babies!

A couple of days after Christmas, we headed up to the cabin in Bear Lake. The kids LOVED going on the snowmobiles, even though it was VERY cold! Maddie kept saying, "I want to go again." Cam even got a little frostbite on his face from being out all day.

How cute does she look in these huge goggles? She loved them...
We spent a lot of time relaxing and getting warm by the fire. Here we are snuggling up for a good story!

Crazy kids in their matching Christmas jammies.

Cutest kid in the world! What a sweetie playing with his new toy. He is watching his crazy brother and sister. They just love to make him laugh!

We did have a great holiday, but is sure is nice to be home in our own beds with a normal schedule now. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

It's fun to look at the pictures and remember all the fun we had over the holidays! I agree schedules are always good to come home to.
