Long Overdue

I know this post is long overdue but I couldn't skip right over Christmas!

This year we changed things up a bit and spent Christmas eve in Logan with my family at my parents house. It was a fun night and of course the boys were so excited to get to play with their cousin Ty. We just spent the afternoon eating, chatting, playing, opening a few gifts, oh and eating some more! I think this was the first year since we were married that we were with my family for Christmas eve! My mom and dad got the boys some cowboy getup! It was pretty cute . . . at first Griffin was the only one that would even try his on but soon enough the big boys gave in and they were all galloping around the house in their leather chaps and light up cowboy hats saying YEE HAW!


Christmas was such a great day. Great but hectic (isn't it always??) Mason woke up first at his usual time (7 o clock) and we let him look over his Santa stuff that was not wrapped until Griff woke up. Mase was so excited about his slippers and couldn't believe that Santa actually ate his cookies and milk! Once Griff woke up we spent the rest of the morning opening up presents, and boy did they get spoiled! Kasey's parents came over Christmas morning and we enjoyed their company as well as some yummy cinnamon rolls. Later that day we visited both of Kasey's grandparents and had 2 huge, delicious meals. While we were at Bob and Cheryl's it started snowing and didn't stop. Perfect for Christmas! Pictures are to come . . . my computer is giving me fits!

Such concentration!


Happy as can be with his new sippie!

Griff with his new blankie . . . didn't santa do a good job??

How fun! Yay for your family getting Christmas eve! That cowboy outfit is hot! I can't wait to see more pictures. So I had this memory spring to my mind . . . I know that memory post was forever ago, but this one had me cracking up so I have to share. Remember when we went to some hair place my mom went or something, and we tried the tanning bed for the first time in our lives?! We shared the room, and split the bed! HA HA! We rule.
