'Tis The Season...

We had a great Christmas this year. Some highlights were Temple lights, family parties, blessing Siena and taking Jacob to see the Christmas Carol at the Hale theater. We see this play every year, but this year Jacob was old enough to attend. Oh yeah, don't worry we also squeezed in some more urgent care visits, but I think everyone is finally getting better. I say this after having Dylan test positive (again) for strep throat after being on antibiotics for 4 days. Shout to my mom for hosting 3 parties at her home!!

1 happy boy + 1 not so sure boy + 1 crying boy = a success

At the Temple to see the lights. Too bad that about 10 mins after this picture was taken it started pouring. We did a quick lap and decides to go get some pizza!

Jacob loved to ask all the missionaries where they were from and Dylan wanted to know where their bikes were :)

Uncle Ryan and Siena (I am not sure why, but Dylan refers to Siena as Santa :)

At least the cousin were having fun while we were waiting for our table!


Christmas Eve
After eating a yummy Turkey dinner my mom made, we played Christmas minute to win it games, acted out the first Christmas, and played Santa Bingo and open pj's. The boys had informed Santa that we were sleeping at grandpa and nana's house so that he wouldn't miss them. After the boys went to bed, Uncle Ryan walked outside, rang some bells and did a pretty good ho ho ho. However I over heard Dylan saying that he heard Uncle Ryan outside. (Thanks for trying anyway Ryan!)

Christmas Day!!

Christmas morning!!

This was taken at about 8 am before we opened Santa's gifts. It was great of Jacob to smile, Dylan just wanted to get on his new bike and well Ryan, he just was wondering why he is up so early :)

My boys in their Christmas pj's. Ryan was up for about 5 mins before he went back to bed and slept until noon.

DJ Dylan!

Jacob got a Star Wars helmet and Dylan got a Transformer Helmet. They had fun crashing into each other :)

We had John's omelets and my homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast, yummy!!

Shadolyn and Mr. James

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and we wish you a new year of health and happiness!!
