Christmas 2013



 Merry Christmas everyone!  Can you believe it's Christmas again?  I understand that it's an "annual" thing, but it seems to arrive faster and leave faster every year.  UGH!
 
I actually got a picture of all the stockings before the kids "dug" into them.  Pretty cool, eh?


This is our half-decorated tree...I decided it was good enough.  Kind-of sad-looking, really...
 

 
And here's some random pictures of Christmas morning for your enjoyment...
 
Jacob and Ziggy
 

 
 
Kyle, unwrapping his Minecraft poster!
 


See?  I was right!
 

 
 
Dallin opening his very own box of Balance bars...do you see Brandon in the background totally laughing his head off?  He's saying, "Classic."  But maybe he's just jealous because he didn't get any...  :)
 

 
 
I guess he's not too jealous, because he got some Irish Spring body wash for himself...he looks pretty happy about that...Mr. Batman!
 


 
Kyle got a little tablet...a very inexpensive tablet.  But he didn't care....he was so excited!
 

 
 
Dallin, my puzzle guy!  These are metal puzzles.  Fun stuff!
 

 
 
And Jacob got a magic kit.  I love the look on his face in this picture...
 

 
 
Even Ziggy got in on all the fun! 
 

 
 
Dallin and his Twinkie maker!  We will be expecting some Twinkies soon, Dallin!
 

 
 
The Bat Mobile!  So awesome!
 


Hot Wheels, even...
 


 
Jacob loves Minecraft!
 

 
We always get a few movies from Mom and Dad...
 

 
 
Jacob got a new bike!  I think this is the first new bike he's ever had...he's always just had "hand-me-downs" from his brothers.  He was pretty excited.
 

 
Good morning, Mom and Dad!  (a little frightening)
 


This is one of my favorite pictures.  Kyle gave me "World's Best Mom" and he gave Todd a small garbage can with the word "Dad" on it.  We had to get a picture of that...so funny!  What's the significance of these gifts...do you think?  Ha!  :)
 

 
But then Jacob came through and gave Todd a "World's Greatest Dad" cap.  I got a heart necklace, which I loved, of course!
 

 
Kyle's new soccer ball....he'll get a lot of use out of that.
 
 
 
Even Ziggy got some toys.   He destroyed them the first day, of course.  So annoying!
 

 
You can't go wrong with Diary of a Wimpy Kid!
 



And the day wouldn't be complete without talking to Elder Jones!  So awesome!

 
It was a great Christmas!  We are very thankful for all the "things" that we have, but mostly, we're thankful for our family!  And that we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior! 
 
 Merry Christmas everyone!
