Our Christmas tree
Christmas Eve jammies from Gram & Pop. We missed the party because I was sick :(
Tate loved the tree, the lights, & the ornaments
Liv's lil special ornament we ordered her. It's a brunette cheerleader in a red & white uniform, just like Mound Fort's!

Love it! You can tell by the fake smiles that I am probably the ONLY one who loves it. Tate loved it too. It was sooo fun to watch him look at everything in amazement.
Me & my lil man
Gotta represent by the Ogden sign

Christmas Eve party at Grammy n Poppy's
Cute Kota enjoyin his yogurt
This is so blurry, but it was so cute. Houston was playing peek-a-boo with Tater & Tate just loved it. He is really loving his cousins these days.
Everyone with their "Rudolph" noses while Grammy read the story.
Of course she had carrots for the kids to leave the reindeer, "reindeer dust" for Santa & the reindeer to find our houses, & mint oreos for Santa.
Such a cute grammy.
I will have to get pictures of the kids opening their presents from my mom's camera. Bobby wasn't there so I was trying to corral Tater & watch him & Liv both take turns opening their gifts. Kinda crazy, but fun! Thanks Grammy & Poppy for everything! You spoiled these kids more than their parents!!!
Grammy n Poppy opening their yearly calendar present I've made for them the last few years. This one was really fun to do, but hard to squeeze in all the fun we've had!
My mom & dad took us to see the lights at Willard Bay. Tate LOVED it. I LOVED IT! It was SO fun to watch his face. It's like it was magical. We had the most wonderful time. We went to see Santa there & Tate got excited, would point at Santa....we had been talking about it all day, but as we got up to Santa's lap he went ballistic. I tried sitting with him, & he wanted nothing to do with it. He was trying to climb over me to get the heck out of there. It was kind of funny. The cute Santa was so sweet about it though.
Once again, I will have to get pictures from my mom of this. I'm sure they will be comical :)
Tater & Poppy waiting to see Santa
Tater & Grammy watchin the lights
This is Tater kissing our nativity seen. I taught him to kiss Baby Jesus, so he would go through & kiss the entire Nativity party. It was the sweetest thing :)
Of course he would make the sweetest little kissy "Mmmm" sound he makes. It is darling :)
Tater loves his new "Little People" zoo set. It came with a zookeeper, a polar bear, a lion, & a gorilla. Whenever he sees the gorilla (or the box sitting in our gigantic recycling bin pile because we forgot to set it out-what a dumb time to forget it with all the Christmas gifts!!) he would say "EEe-eee" because of the monkey/gorilla. So cute :)
This is one of my friend Christmas parties. It was at Cami Bell's. We had a lot of fun. She has a gorgeous home & was the bestest little hostess. Thanks girls!
More friend fun: Christmas in January with Annie, Ashley, & Tish; & Tate & I went to Rooster's in Layton with Heather to exchange gifts & visit. Love her :) Although I did not get a pic. TATE really loved her, which he doesn't really LOVE anyone but our little fam. He was all smiles, waves, & blowin kisses to her. He let her hold him forever too. It was pretty funny, little flirt
Liv doing her 12 Days of Christmas.
I chose to do the symbols of Christmas this year to teach Liv more about why we celebrate Christmas, & a coordinating gift to go with each one. Most of them were special ornaments for Liv to have on our "Special Ornament" tree, since she doesn't have a lot. I've been replenishing her stock through the years though, & we usually make one every year too, so she has quite a few now :)
Tater & Lindsay at Gramma Marlilyn & Grampa Bert's annual Christmas Eve party. So fun to have Tater a lil older this year. He wanted nothing to do with anyone at the party besides me, my mom, & my dad. He loosened up a bit when Houston & Maelee got there. He did love his snoopy doll that Gramma gave him. He carries it around & kisses it all the time still! He still loves the Curious George doll that Gramma & Grampa gave him for his birthday. We kiss him & tuck George into bed every night with Tater :)
Poppy feeding Tater carmel corn, which he loved of course
Mae mae showin Tater how Elmo sings. The kids all loved the singing beaver, the singing puppy that wiggles his ears, the jumping & singing puppy, the talking Santa Claus, & all those toys most of us adults find obnoxious. It was fun & cute to watch them though :)
Brighton wasn't too sure about the toys ;)
Tater & Poppy watching the Santa Claus doll read a story
We went to Grammy & Poppy's to open our stockings after Gramma Mar's party. Liv was at her mom's & Bobby was at work. We weren't able to come on Christmas Day because Bobby worked Chrismas Eve & I worked Christmas Day Night.
Seriously?! What a cute bummy. He has two right butt cheeks. had to take a pic ;)
Thank you everyone for all the Christmas fun! It was wonderful!!
So grateful for wonderful family!
So grateful for Jesus & all he has done for us
