CHRIST-mas JOY

As you can tell by the look on Tanner's face he didn't want to wait two minutes for us to get the cameras.

The kids must have been really good this year.

Colby got starburst and 100 grands in his stocking to share with Daddy.

Tanner bought this cute decorative spider from a school boutique for his Sis. It came with a fun story.

Sean got me an i-Home so we can rock out to all my music in my kitchen. The kids love it. He also got me a beautiful Christus.

We got the little boys a balance bike (balance bikes don't have pedals).

My Mom a.k.a Grandma Hunny, stayed with us most of Christmas week. It was so nice to have her with us everyday. The kids were sad when she left. Brooklyn didn't like that we took down the temporary bed we had made just for her.

Colb's got a new night-night book.

Brookie got her first full size Book of Mormon. She was so happy.

I love that he was excited about getting a learning game.

The kids all wanted Colby to be involved. You can tell it was a little to much for him.

Tanner bought this nice magnet for Daddy.

Tan bought Kaden a cute Santa with sleigh that was made out of candy.

Colb's played some Christmas music for us.

Tanner got a FUTURE MISSIONARY tag. We know Uncle William will like this.

There are already tons of pictures on the post, good thing we didn't take pictures of every gift.

I made our traditional Danish Pancakes in memory of my Daddy. The whip cream isn't tradition but the kids love adding more sugar to the breakfast. I did make them eat a lot of fruit. :)

Santa brought this cute princess tent for Daddy.

Santa also brought this cool house the kids can color themselves. And I failed to get a picture of the basketball hoop after Daddy and Tanner put it together.

This is not the best picture but it was the end of the day, everyone was tired and I really wanted one picture of us together. Brookie is wearing tons of her new Barbie lip stick if you were wondering what was on her mouth.

The Eve

Early in the morning we headed to the Mower's for our Hundley Family Party.

Riding quads is a necessary requirement when we visit the cousins.

Me with my sweet Aunt Karol Matthews.

The little kids had a fun gift exchange.

Prepping for our yearly picture I make everyone do.

But see how nice it turned out!

Then we headed to our Annual McMullin Christmas Eve Party.

Notice how Colby is straining to see his Daddy? Just gives you an idea of how much he adores his Da-da.

There is no question that Uncle Phil's favorite niece is Brooklyn. Brookie always gives him attention and Phil loves it! He always asks her who her favorite uncle is. She flatters him every time. Competition will be returning from his mission soon!

Lovin' my main squeeze....

Not a very good picture but only one I had with them together. :) The kids had fun making an ornament, decorating a ginger bread man and of course exchanging presents!

This was Colby's very first present he got to open. Tanner was super excited to help him. So sweet!

Though the day was super busy, we loved having a full day of making fun memories together!

Miscellaneous Mistletoe

Thanks to Grandma McMullin watching the little ones, I was able to spoil Tan and Lyn by attending their school holiday parties.

Brookie and her best buddy Reagan.

(No pics from Tan's party-it was very low key and I didn't want to embarrass him.)

While out running some errands in Chino, we hitched a ride on this adorable train.

Colb's was very amused. Tanner LOVED it and even more LOVED taking his baby Colby.

Kaden also had a school party at the park.

Sugar cookies too....

Emmett and Colby are almost cousins. Aunt Courtney's sister Joanna is Emmett's Mom. They are only 2 wks apart in age and had a great time playing together.

Brookie and Natalie had a full week of playing. It was so great spending so much time with my nieces and of course Robby and Courtney and my Mom too.

Kaitlyn loved my little broom.
She is such an innocent doll!

Meg and Kade were being so sweet and kind to each other this day. If only they were like this every time the cousins come to play.

Our Busy Bee

Our Busy Bee has gotten busier and busier the last couple weeks,

and this boy is loving it!!!

He speed crawls, walks along the couches and pulls up all day long. Oh I can't forget he eats everything he finds on the floor. Thankfully Tanner is my assistant finger swiper.

This is a math problem that Tanner wrote during school one day. He got a little embarrassed when I took this picture but he wasn't surprised. He knows me!

Due to winter, asthma and napping, Cobster hasn't been on the trampoline much. Poor guy gets so scared.

All the kids are excited for him to like it. They are so patient and stay still but Colby remains scared. We know eventually he'll beg to jump with Sis, Tan and Kade.

After such hard work exploring, he sleeps just like an angel should. My shrinking pills must be placebo's because Colby turned 10 months new on Christmas.



Currently Colby's favorite book is "Goodnight Moon". He loves turning the pages for us.
