Christmas!

On Christmas Eve after we got home from my parent's house we got to open our Christmas Jammies! We get them every year! I guess it's sort of a tradition for us! Skyler and Xander got matching pajamas!



My big boy can open presents by himself now! That is a very bitter sweet moment!

Every baby has to have a picture with bows on their head!

My cute little matching boys! Skyler got the cool little aquarium from Papa and Gigi! Xander wanted to sleep with him in his crib! :)

Christmas Morning!

Skyler and Aubrey

Look at that load of presents!!!

Skyler loved all of his new toys!

All Alexander wanted to do was play!



What a happy little man! He loves his blocks!!!

So does Daddy!

Skyler wasn't used to getting up so early, not a happy camper!

Then all of a sudden he was OUT!

Xander playing with his race Cars!

We had an awesome Christmas this year and we are so glad that Nana, Papa and Aubrey got to come and spend it with us!

Christmas Eve at the Warnock's house!

On Christmas Eve we went to my parent's house for dinner!
We opened our presents from Dad, Mom and the girls, and they opened up theirs from us!
We gave everyone blankets with their names on them that I made!
Alexander and Skyler got very spoiled! I think that Papa and Gigi spent more on them than anyone else! There are definitely perks to being the only grandchildren!

Skyler is at that age where everything goes into his mouth! So of coarse he wanted to eat anything he could get his hands on!
He was surprisingly interested in his presents!

But as I said everything went into his mouth!


Xander got a newtoy car from Papa and Gigi! He loves it so much! He really likes to go backwards on it! He gets on his tippy toes and runs in reverse as fast as he can until he runs into something!

The Brittons came over for dinner! We had soups in a bread bowl (another family tradition) and pie! Then it was time for games! We started with Secret Combination, (our "Book of Mormon" version of Mobsters) and then we decided to play the Paper Bag Game!
Go Mom, go!
Everyone gets a turn to try picking up the bag with your mouth on one foot! You can't touch the floor with your hands or your out and you have to remain on one foot until you come all the way up! After everyone has had a turn you cut 2 inches off and start again continueing until one person is left standing! The winner is the last person able to pick up the bag at the end!

Here is Rhonda making her attempt at it!

Emilee getting low!

Jessica Britton taking he turn!
Aubrey got pretty far in this game!


Ashlee and Anna tied and won! we got it about 5 inches from the floor by the end!
Good job girls!


I love Christmas! It means we get to spend more time with those that we love and just have fun being together!

Candy House Time!

It's Christmas time at our house! And time for Candy Houses!
Every year as a tradition we get together to make candy houses at my Mom and Dad's! Then we give them away!
Derek got so into making the biggest Candy house that he pooped out when it came time to decorate! Here he is with His Mom, Dad and Skyler!

Rhonda and her Candy house!

This is Ariel Wachob! My sister Ashlee is waiting for her brother Elder Charles Wachob! He is currently serving in the Minnesota, Minneapolis Mission! 3 more months ;)

Abbie Wachob Sporting her Candy house! We invited the Wachobs and their mom over to make the Candy houses with us!

Xander and Gigi! What and adorable little house! Alexander helped me start it and Gigi helped him finish! Xander put the Dots on the side of the walk way and the Stars on the ground and roof!

Here's what I came up with! :)

Miss Anna and her Candy House!

My dad always has the best Candy house I think!
Very Artistic!

Jason Wachob, So that's where all the candy went!

Ashlee and Eddie Wachob!
They worked on theirs together! Cheaters!

Derek's cousin Aubrey! She came down with Shawn and Pauline for Christmas!
We loved having her!

Emilee! I think she worked on her's the longest!

Laura Duncan, A friend of the family! :)

CANDY! Or in Alexander's words,
"TANDY!!!! YAY!!!"

Everybody working hard!

Mommy and Xander! We tried it at the table first, but everytime I looked up he had a mouth full of candy! SO we moved to the floor where he didn't have as much access to the goods!

Papa Shawn and Skyler! They got to sit on the side lines and watch!
Of coarse Papa didn't mind! :)

Go daddy go!
We had so much fun making our candy houses! Can't wait until next year!
