Christmas Morning

SANTA CAME!

(and Grandma and Grandpa spoiled us too)

Santa brought Ty his little horse..too bad Santa didn't know he would be scared to death of it. ha He likes to point at it from away and smiles and says, "Neigh!" But the second we try to put him on it he just goes stiff and screams. It has little wheels under the hooves and makes horse noises. Hopefully he'll get used to it.

Grandma and Grandpa gave him this fun slide/basketball hoop. The babies have had SO much fun on it! Thanks for the hit Gram and Gramp!

Devan and I got the big picture of Ty...all I wanted. Thanks SO much Mom and Dad!

Ty was excited when Malia came up. He hurried to show her all of the stuff.

..Stockings..

They liked the oranges and presents in their stockings.

 hmmm...elmo movies? I love elmo!

 They found the piano that Grandma and Grandpa got for Sadie and loved it!

 The "See and Say" animals from Grandma and Grandpa.

 A book for Grandma and Grandpa from Ty boy.

 An 18 month calendar for Grandma and Grandpa for their mission.

 I think we all shed a few tears...at least they'll only miss one Christmas.

 Ty loves Cam. He was just laughing so hard and attacking Cam. It was the cutest thing!

 He loved the presents from Grandma and Grandpa Partridge too. We weren't able to be with them this year.

 He had so much fun with his new fishies in the bath tub.

 Loved the new letters too.

 Once again, no pictures of the adults.
Dev and I got the picture of Ty which we LOVE and some much needed clothes.
I also got stuff for Shellac nails(polish and the cure light). I love it!
It was the perfect Christmas for me. I got exactly what I wanted and needed.
It was such a fun morning, and then Ty started to get grouchy.
I think he had an ear ache because he kept tugging on his right ear.
He also has a hard time with a lot of commotion(guess he gets that from his mommy).
He was definitely ready for a nap.

Christmas Eve Presents

After the crazy party we came home with the kids.
The babies were so happy to get out of the commotion.
The little cousins opened presents from eachother.
We opened presents from eachother.
The adults opened jammies(The kids got theirs from Santa).

 

 Cam got a bop it Bounce from Abbie...He was pretty excited about it.

 Abbie got a bath for her doll from Ty. He helped her open it and then he wanted the "guck" in it. ha

 Sadie got a ballerina doll from Malia. She said, "It's Julie's ten(friend)!" (Julie is Abbie's American Girl doll)

 Ty got this fun little people farm from Cam. Of course he absolutely loves it.

 Malia got a little bath doll from Sadie. She loves babies, it's so cute.

 Ty was showing us the horse on his jammies.

I didn't get pictures of the adults opening presents.
ha I guess we're just not as fun to watch and capture.
We had to hurry and get the kids in bed so Santa could come!

Tuesday Tidbits

01. Ty LOVES the pantry...if he's missing, I always know where to look first.

Sadie came running to me saying, "da babies make a mess in da panty!" ha These pictures are what I found.

02. When I find him in there he just laughs and starts going crazy trying to destruct as much as possible before I get him out.
03. He loves the red cups. He just stacks them together, then takes them apart, and does it over and over.

04. He's having so much fun having his little buddy Malia here.

05. I think he's so excited that he just doesn't want to sleep...ever.

He's just been screaming bloody murder when we put him down.

06. I actually think he had a little ear ache...but no fever with it. He just kept pulling on his right ear.

07. Today he has acted better, until we got a babysitter tonight and we came home to her mom here because he was screaming so bad and threw up in his bed. ha what the heck Ty. I felt SO bad.

08. I decided today that I hate working...not because I hate my job, but Ty is starting to not like me because I'm not with him a lot. The days I'm home a lot he just loves me, plays with me, and we have fun.

When I work and I'm gone, he doesn't want anything to do with me...makes me sad.

09. He definitely eats left handed with a spoon, and he's getting really good at feeding himself oatmeal. He thinks he's really big when he does it too.

10. He started doing the monkey(raises his arm and says, "ah ah ah ah"). It's so cute. He also just started the frog(bounces and says "rit" in this growl type of voice). He sticks his arm up for the elephant, but doesn't use any sound. He says, "ssssss" when he sees the snake in his jungle book. He saw a cat on Malia's jammies and said, "mow". He's never done it before or after, but he definitely said it a few times while pointing at the cat.

He's just getting so smart and doing new things every day. 

11. I just love him so much I have to control myself from being too overwhelming and squeezing everything out of him.

12. We went to the Voodoo Doc. again...didn't work. He mixed egg with stomach, stomach acid, and saliva in the vial. I didn't feed it to him this time, just put a little mayo on his face and he got a hive.

Needless to say, I'm not going back and wasting any more money. 

It was worth a try, but I guess we'll just have to deal with the allergies for now. Bummer.

Christmas Eve Dinner

Tradition.Tradition!

Every year we go to Grandma and Grandpa Gubler's for Christmas Eve.

We have a yummy dinner.

The kids do the Nativity.

We read the Nativity scriptures.

We sing Christmas Carols.

Then SANTA comes!

He brings everyone pajamas.

This year we had a HUGE crowd...78 people actually.

A lot of us are getting older with kids, the elder's and sister missionaries joined us, and some friends.

It's fun to have people for Christmas, but I actually felt bad for Skye and Cody because it was SO chaotic...sorry guys.

We will continue to do it as long as Grandma and Grandpa Gubler are with us.

Maybe next time we'll have to move it to the church.

Advent Calendar

Malia figured out the little doors open on the advent calendar house.
She taught Ty.
Now that's one of their favorite things.
They open the doors, pull out the paper, and put it in a different door.
They are such cute little kids that look like twins.

 Oh my heck I just want to eat this girl up. She's so funny!
