Christmas Pictures

We actually took the time to take a picture all together. This is the best one we got and I'm happy with it. We also tried to take pictures of just the kids. Logan was being kind of a stinker so we didn't get any good ones of him, but Tolan was really loving the attention and being so cute, so we got some great ones of him, which is usually pretty hard to do.

Christmas Day


As you can see, between the two sets of grandparents L & T had quite a Christmas morning! I think they were a little overwhelmed at first, but they love their new cars and other gifts too!


Logan checked out the truck first...


Then they looked at the Jeep

Tolan was liking his turn in the truck
He got his new shades out of his stocking and went for the firetruck next
Thanks to our parents for the great gifts!

Christmas Eve

We went down to Justin's sister's for Christmas Eve.

These are all of L & T's cousins. After dinner we attempted to do a little play of the Nativity along with the scriptures. Well you can imagine how that went when all the kids wanted to get to this part:
A bird's eye view of the craziness of the cousins' gift exchange

I'm trying to help L & T open some presents. They were pretty excited!

The End of the Dinosaur

We got a new camera for Christmas - woo hoo! So I'm finally pulling these last pictures off of our old dinosaur of a camera.

Justin's birthday was a month ago, but these are the peanut butter cup cupcakes & card I made for him.

Here are some of the cinnamon roll Christmas trees I made again this year. I made 10 this year - I was supposed to make 14, but ran out of time and had to make something simpler & less time-consuming for Justin's HT families. They weren't shorted though - they got chocolate chip cookie dough brownies, it just wasn't as Christmasy.

I will post Christmas pictures later!
