Late, but still cute

We took pictures of putting up Christmas stuff and opening presents on Christmas day that we just barely took from our camera, they were shot in raw so we had to change them to jpg, so without further ado...

The boys helping put up the Christmas decorations.

Daddy and the boys

We had to wake up DJ Christmas morning to go open presents.  They were both not very happy about it!

After we got the boys off the floor, they were excited to open presents and see what Santa brought.

DJ and Alex first seeing the presents.

Opening their presents.

Alex's favorite thing was the candy cane filled with kisses!

 They loved their rocking bull that sings!

They also loved their microphones.

We had a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas 2011

This Christmas has been a great one! We woke up early and got ready, then woke up the kids. Why not sleep in when they kids are so young you might ask, because we had a lot of places to visit!  We took some pictures of them opening their presents at home, but they are on the other camera so they will come later. 

After we opened all of the presents we got the boys ready and loaded up to head to Logan.

 Mommy and Daddy totally excited for the long day!

We made it up to Grandma Nona's house and DJ and Alex of course found something to use as drums.

 Grandpa Ed and Alex.  This was the first time they have been able to meet.

 Daddy and Alex

 The boys absolutely love music!

 Grandma Nona gave the boys a fire engine and hat.

 The boys had fun playing!

 We stopped by the Butler's house (DJ's grandparents).  It was good to see them again!

Then we went over to my parent's house.  They surprised the boys with a new car!

 They LOVED it!

 Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!

We had a wonderful (exhausting) Christmas.  We are so blessed!

We are also so grateful for the birth of our Savior and this day to remember everything he has done for us! 

Christmas Eve 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve!  We started out by going over to a neighbors to eat some breakfast.  It was yummy!  We left because DJ's birth family was coming over to drop off presents for the boys. 

Brie and Spencer got DJ a spider that moves.  He loves it!

 Kisses on the cheek.

 Then we went up to Snowbird because Jason wanted to get me one last Christmas present, a season pass to Snowbird.  It was such a nice day up there, warmer than the valley!

 We let the boys play in the snow for awhile.  Alex didn't like it at all.

While Alex was napping DJ took down my holiday blocks and played with them.  He had a fun time stacking them into a tower, or at least trying to.

Santa made emails for the boys that we watched that night.  It was fun seeing him on our computer! Santa told them that they had been good this year and that we was going to bring them both a special present. DJ had to watch his message over and over again! 

 Later we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the night.  We had a lot of fun!

We had good food!  (DJ eating a candy out of Alex's hand)

 Good fun! (DJ playing with Carson's wand)

Good Music

 And of course a great time with the family!

 The boys got to open one Christmas present at Grandma and Grandpa's house, of course it was their pajamas!  They are glow in the dark and matching!

We had a great Christmas Eve (even though it looks like DJ didn't in this picture) and went home and got all tucked into bed to await Santa.

Christmas Party

Jason's family gets together for Christmas every year, and this year was no different.  There was good food, good company, and good fun!  I forgot my camera, but luckily a cousin had one and snapped some moments for us!

Alex giving a cousin a gift from Victoria Secret, awkward!

 McKaylee lovin' Alex

 Alex giving kisses

 and having fun!

 Man purse?

 Mommy and Alex

 Alex got a ball and the boys had fun rolling it back and forth to each other.

 DJ for a xylophone and everyone loved playing with it.

 Alex being the cutie that he is!

We had a great time at the party, but I wish I would have remembered my camera too!  The holidays are a great time to get together with family and celebrate.
