Christmastime!

December has flown by and we have been having lots of fun (mostly)...

Parker took the boys to a BYU basketball game and Tyce made a homemade sign hoping to get on the jumbo tron!  Hahaha.  Josh was mortified he was like, "Tyce you have to get a big poster board and make it look really nice."  Tyce was like, "well this is all I have and it will look great!"  Love this kid and his creativity and how he doesn't care what people think...

My parents came in town for a few weeks so we crammed in as much fun as we possibly could! They had these four over for a sleepover...

They built a fort...

Cookies and hot cocoa...

I was driving home one day and was just in awe of the beauty of the sky, of course pictures don't do it justice...

Grandma Morrill sent her annual Christmas pajamas and ornament...

Josh loved his soccer player and thought it was so cool that it had the #20 on it (his #)...

Tyce was super excited for his SWIMMER ornament!  We're going to be starting him on swim team soon...

And Jackson loved his lacrosse one, complete with his # as well...

 New jammies!

This is JACKSON but it looks so much like JOSH to me!  They very rarely look alike to me but in this picture they sure do!

Josh all decked out for dress in Christmas pjs day...he was hoping to win for best dressed but apparently some girl came wrapped as a present and beat him, hahaha...

Chester being super disobedient and sleeping ON MY COUNTER!!!

One of my most FAVORITE family traditions that we started a few years ago is baking tons of goodies and going caroling to our friends and family.  This year we picked 12 houses and it was so fun.  Tyce sang a solo and everyone seemed to enjoy it...

After caroling we stopped at my parent's house and Joshy and Emma, of course, had to snuggle on the couch...

My parents and I took all the kids (except Emma) to Color Me Mine...

Tyce and Luke also had a sleepover at my parent's house...

Cousin and friend movie day watching Pete's Dragon...

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!  Dinner with my sisters, mom, and grandma was so fun!  

I was in charge of all the desserts for Christmas Eve dinner at the condo...

Christmas Eve dinner at the condo...

Poor Jackson got a tummy ache right before dinner but, thankfully, was better in about two hours!  

 We had a beautiful Christmas program, the kids each memorized a scripture from Luke...

Darin and Parker played a duet...

My Grandma taught us in 3 Nephi...

 The kids sang such cute songs...

Tyce sang Little Drummer Boy...

 Emma sang Twinkle Twinkle...

My dad told a beautiful Christmas story...

Luke decided he wanted to sing Praise to the Man, despite the fact that it wasn't on the program.  Halfway through Emma decided to join him and he got mad and kept trying to push her away...

 We did a cousin gift exchange this year which was really fun...

Josh got Livi earrings and a necklace...

 Emma got Josh a game and candy...

 Mason and Jackson got each other legos...

 Livi got Luke and ninja turtle watch...

 Tyce got Emma some Ariel jewelry...

 Luke got Abbi a pound of See's Candies...

 And Abbi got Tyce a BYU shirt...

 And a SPRITE which he was beyond thrilled about hahahaha...

Then we headed home to get ready for Santa...

They all slept together in Tyce's room...

 Tyce left a note/quiz for Santa...

And for Cameron, he left him a towel to use as a blanket in case he gets cold going to the North Pole...

And cookies and carrots and milk...

Santa brought Josh a ripstick...

 Tyce an electric scooter...

 And Jackson a hover board...

 We woke up to a WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!

 Waiting to go see their presents..

 Tyce got a bulletin board for Christmas and the first thing he did was hang the pictures of the Stathis kids...we sure miss them!

 Morrills came over and Bart tried out the hover board!

 Tegan too...

 I usually come home to my pillows all on the floor and THESE two are why...

 Parker took the twins to Brighton the day after Christmas and poor Josh, who was rocking the hills, smacked into a tree and really hurt his leg.  They had to wait for the first aid sled because Josh couldn't put any weight on his leg...

 Before the injury...

I decided to take Josh in for x-rays just to be safe and, good news, it's not broken!  Just a deep bone contusion.

The bad news is he most likely will not be able to play in his Mesquite soccer tournament next weekend because it's pretty bad...

Resting, reading, icing, and snuggling Luna...so cute!  Unfortunately he ended up being up most of the night with pain...

 We got together with Kami and her family at Lindsay's which was so fun.  Caebren and Josh played a card game since Josh couldn't do much else...

Brody LOVES sleeping in this new toy I got the boys for Christmas...
