Baby's 1st Christmas Pajamas

This is Ella's first Christmas at 5 months old...

And...

This is Cole at 3 months wearing the same "baby's 1st Christmas" pj's.


Loving this chunky monkey of mine!

Boise Christmas

It was great to see all our family in Boise. We had Christmas a little late there, but it still felt the same and we had lots and lots of fun!

Ella got a whole princess play dress from Aunt Kylie! Thanks a bunch, she loves it!

Check out the "hooder-hider" buddies!

It was so fun to put the babies up together and have them "play" together. Ella loved playing with the babies as well. Cole and McKenzie are only 2 days apart... Cole being younger and over a pound heavier! Can you tell they're cousins?


I wish I could have visited more of our friends in Boise before we left, but I was able to see Mandy & Jessica who I worked with, and also my college girlfriend Jessica from Burley and her two girls. That was so fun to see you guys!

Boise Snow Day

Boise actually got a ton of snow... over a foot, but it melted really quick so we tried to go out and take advantage of it before it all melted.

Ryan & Kylie came with us and their boys and had some fun with us!

Kade probably had the most fun with this kid snowboard! Look at him go!

Cole's Blessing

We blessed Cole in Boise...

There's my handsome little man!

Denver Snow

Are you girls ready for snow?

We were hoping for lots of snow to go sledding, but Denver didn't get its usual snowfall this year, and we were lucky enough to find one hill that worked...

Ella wasn't too excited about going down the hill...

So they ended taking them to the playground!

Denver Christmas

For Christmas Eve every year, we do a program with musical numbers and the reading of Jesus Christ's birth. Charlie was "master of ceremonies" this year, and did a great job!

The guys sang a song...
Stephanie sang a solo...

Jenna played a beautiful rendition of "O Holy Night"...

and we talked about the birth of Christ with scripture.

Christmas Morning!

Oh boy! Presents... where to start?
Ella's face was classic as she was opening up her Barbie Laptop.

She loves it!

Ella also loves dollies, so she got the whole set of stroller, bassinet, carrier, etc.

Happy Girls!

Happy 30th Birthday Scott!

My whole family was there to celebrate Scott's 30th Birthday this year in Denver. We took him to Chicago Pizza and I got him this HUGE chocolate cake! Look how excited he is for it. Afterwards we went and saw the movie, "7 pounds" with Will Smith. This is how he really feels to be turning 30!
Me with my mom and sisters.

Indy Christmas

We started off our holiday season by having our very own Christmas in Indy before we traveled to see family. It was great! We had a seafood feast of crab legs, coconut shrimp, stuffed clams, and more. We watched "The Polar Express" with a fire glowing while munching on holiday goodies! We love the Christmas season, and love the time we have just to ourselves to celebrate.

Ella loved opening presents, especially when Disney Princess books are involved.
