Christmas and New Year!

Christmas morning, waiting to go downstairs : )

*Sorry, This is pretty detailed, for my sake, I want to remember all this in years to come!*

Christmas was absolutely wonderful! Fortunately for us we get to spend it with both families since they both live here! We do still alternate years, and whoever's year it is we do more of there traditions-but we try to do as much as we can with both families which makes for a lot of fun! Christmas Eve morning we spent with my family at my parents house just hanging out. Later that afternoon we got to go to Tyler's grandparents house and see all of his family, and open presents and eat some yummy food. After that we shot over to my grandparents and met my family there, where we ate our traditional pizza! Yum yum! Plus tons of sides and tons of dessert! My grandma went all out and it was so yummy! Zach and Connor were having the time of there life between new toys and hanging out with cousins from both sides all day long! After pizza we did a little play, and had the cutest, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, shepherds and wise men I have ever seen! Next we opened present from each other! Sarah made us the cutest gifts ever! She made Zach this amazing car mat that he is in love with and played with the rest of the night! Connor got these cute bean bags with a game ideas and she made me a AWESOME necklace, it is the "newest" stylish of necklaces I would say, and I have worn it and received many compliments! I forgot to get a picture with it on! Thanks Sarah! Then my parents got the boys there pillow pets (still a major hit...I steal zach's sometime, they are rather comfy;)). And G-mom and pop got the boys a huge set of Lincoln Logs! Tons of fun! Then on our way home we looked out the window for Rudolf's nose! hehe, something we did when I was younger!

Little "Jesus" (Wesley) was so cute! I miss him already! It was our first time to meet him, and that was one of the best Christmas presents ever! We are SO glad Matthew and Jaime came down, we already miss them, but especially Wes, so so much!

We went home left cookies and milk and a letter out for Santa (I think Santa is a good thing personally-Zach still very clearly knows Christmas is about Jesus's birth, and even suggested we get Santa a present too so he can celebrate Jesus's birthday with us, so sweet-they just get one Santa gift anyway). Both boys fell quickly asleep! We only had one toy to build and two stockings to fill! And then we were off to bed too!

Christmas morning was probably one of the best! This year is Ty's fam's year so we just did it at home with them. The look on their faces was priceless. We had so much fun! Around 10 we got to talk to Tyler's brother who is on a mission, then have brunch with all of his family! So yummy! Later we went to my parents....and then enjoyed a quiet evening at home, with a sleeping baby and a happy Zach setting up all his new toys! Couldn't have asked for a better Christmas!

Daddy and Zach playing with his new toys!

(he spilled something on him, but playing was more important than clothes!)

Like I said in the last post we had a great 2010 and are looking forward to 2011! Hopefully a new car, Tyler will graduate, maybe a fun vacation! Who knows, but more than anything in the world I just want and pray for a safe, healthy, happy family and many memory making moments! We started off the new year by going to the park, playing tag, and jumping off of rocks, it's what you do with two fun little boys!

Connor can fly : )

WE are nerds : )
