Merry Christmas

This year we had a blast at christmas! My mom and dad were so great to have the twelve days of Christmas for our little family. We got candies, books, ornaments, CDs, and alot of cute little items.

Coleton loved opening them each night and got really into it but i think he thought that the wrapping paper was a treat that he was getting to eat! On Christmas we got a calendar with all family pictures in it,a tent for our emergency supplies, pajamas for Coleton, and a family home evening book that my mom made, they were great!

Here is Coleton opening one of the twelve days of Christmas!

Since we stayed in Cedar City for Christmas we had the chance to be with all of Brandons family. Since we were sick we didnt get to spend much time with them but we did have a little nativity reenactment on Christmas eve!

Candice was mary, Andrew was Joseph, Kate was baby Jesus, Grace was the angel, Brandon was the three wisemen, and Grant was the lion (note him in the corner of the picture) he just really wanted to be a lion, who could blame him!

Here is a picture of all of the grandkids except Grant, he was facinated by the tree!After reading about the nativity scene and Brandon reading The night before Christmas to Coleton the kids went to bed and this is some of what our little family got from Santa!Then on Christmas morning we opened gifts with the whole family!Brandon and I got an IPOD dock, itunes gift card, 5 disney DVDs, date night gift cards, a gift for a new windshield, cutting boards, and a flour sifter! Coleton actually cut his index finger pretty bad on my sifter and we thought we were going to have to go get one stitch but it finally stopped bleeding and we were able to bandage it up, but Coleton almost ate the bandage a few times so it was quite the adventure!Most of all we were grateful to have this little gift this year! We have been so blessed to have a healthy, happy, active little guy that we wouldnt be the same with out. He is such a blessing to us and cant wait to see when the Lord will bless us with another! Merry Christmas!
