Our perfect little Christmas

Ok, so some of the pictures are out of order, sorry. This is Ben on his new bike from Santa.

  1. He also got Buz Lightyear wings!!

And here is Isaac on his new bike from Santa.

We really couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. We worked so hard to be able to spoil the kids rotten! Lot's of overtime, but it was so worth it!! This is my favorite picture we got. Ben was so excited when he ran down the stairs and saw that Santa had come.




We made Santa cookies on Christmas eve and the boys had a blast making a mess!




Every time we turned our heads, Ben had another bite of another cookie in his mouth. It was so funny cause we had all these cookies with one or two bites taken out of them.




We asked the boys what color frosting they wanted and they said BROWN. Gosh, I still don't think I'm used to having boys yet.







What a mess!







I loved watching the boys open every single one of their presents. It was so much fun to see them so excited.








By the time we were done, Isaac was practically buried in boxes and wrapping paper, LOL.









Here's what Santa brought Ben.










And Isaac










Isaac made me this ridiculously ugly necklace and of coarse we had to get a picture of me wearing it.
To make Christmas day even more exciting, my sister Katie who was down visiting from Utah, decided to have her baby! She was admitted to the hospital the entire time she was here :-( for low amniotic fluid and high blood pressure. She was not due to have the baby until February. She delivered Lily at Banner Desert at 9:30 pm on Christmas night. She was 2 lbs something ounces and 15 inches long. She will stay in the NICU at Banner Desert until she is done developing and strong enough to go home. Thank you guys so much for all of your prayers and thoughts. It means the world to us. Happy Holidays. Love you all.

What a wonderful Christmas for your family! I love what you gave to your boys! And thanks again for keeping us all in the loop as far as Katie and Baby Lily were concerned. What a blessing. I still smile when I think of how everything unfolded. How extraordinary for all of you to be together for the birth! Can you imagine what that must have meant to Katie? It's just incredible. It truly is. Hmmm...you don't think your mom had something to do with this, do ya?

Looks like you guys had a great Christmas. I love the boys faces and how excited they were. That is so crazy that Katie had her baby, what a miracle. I am so happy they are both doing great. Glad she has all of you there to be with her.

what a fun tradition making cookies for santa. I can't wait till my kids are old enough to do things like that. You're such a good Mom. I love that Buz Lightyear picture. So cute
