Christmas 2015

Since I haven't blogged since Annabelle was born, I figured I needed to start back up again and today is the perfect day to do it. We had the best Christmas, even though my family is out of town. We celebrated with them this past Sunday. We were lucky to spend Christmas Eve with JTs mom and sisters and our Christmas morning with his dad. I didn't take a single picture last night until we got home for our PJ pictures. But we had so much fun with family and the kids were extra spoiled this year. 

This little miss turned 5 months 2 days ago. We just love her!

Thomas really didn't want to do pictures last night. I'm surprised we even got a good one! We couldn't find our camera tripod so we put the selfie stick we got for free a few months ago to good use. 

The kids woke up a little before 8 this morning and JTs dad and shelle came over a little after 8. We woke up to so much snow! JT went out with Thomas to shovel a path so people could get through. 

Thomas had a hard time waiting to open everything, but we wanted to wait for grandma and grandpa so he dealt with it and just stared at presents. We brought his Santa presents and stocking out when they got there. He has already mastered riding his scooter so well!

He had so much fun and loved every minute of it. I can honestly say there is nothing better then Christmas morning as a parent. 

I made breakfast and we ate and relaxed the rest of the day! We did go on a drive through American fork canyon to see all the snow. But Thomas got whiney and Annabelle was tired so it didn't last long. It was beautiful though!! 

I'm so grateful for my savior and this time of year where we can remember all we have to be thankful for. My family is my greatest blessing and I never imagined having the life I've been blessed with. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day 2014

Christmas was wonderful as always this year! Thomas still didn't quite get the whole thing but I was so excited to have a one year old who plays with toys I couldn't even sleep that great Christmas Eve. I was too excited for him. Out of all the new toys and games and puzzles he got, he still chose to play with paper plates and cups most of the day. I don't know why he loves silverware and plates so much but they really are his favorite things to have around! We were terrible picture takers most of the day, we never even took one as a family. It did snow all day long though which made me happy. There's nothing better then snow on Christmas. 

We spent the morning with my family. Melissa and Jonny, Jason, and Kyle were all at my parents house so it was fun to have so many people here. We opened presents most of the morning, then went and visited JTs mom and step dad and his dad and step mom. 

JT spoiled me rotten this year...he got me a little chrome book lap top and some hunter boots I've been whining about wanting for awhile now. They'll be used a ton in Washigton I'm sure.
