Christmas was lots of fun and Santa became a little more real this year! Our festivities were spread out a little bit since our families don't live near each other, but that seems to make the holidays last a little longer and who doesn't love that? Most of these pictures are from our time spent in St. George where Brett's Grandma and Grandpa live. All of his siblings and spouses were able to come for all or part of the week and it was so fun being with everyone, even if it was a little loud and chaotic at times (mostly due to the four children under 3)! Hope the new year brings many joys to each of you!

Cade, Kent, and McCall sharing the iPad
(a favorite for the boys, but McCall seems to be picking it up quicker than expected!) |
 |
| All snuggled up for a movie! |
 |
| Believe it or not, this was one of the better pictures of the four cousins! Kent did a fantastic job of holding McCall's head so she didn't fall face forward (Kent has learned from experience, safety first!) |
 |
I had to take a picture of how Cade had arranged his nativity set.
Each figurine was almost always lined up, facing baby Jesus. Couldn't help but to find it cute. |
 |
| Who knows, maybe this is how it really happened. |
 |
| Like father, like son. |
 |
| Love this picture! McCall sat like this, staring at Santa, for about 2 minutes. He was very accommodating while I snapped picture after picture. Even Santa's helpers were chuckling! |
 |
One thing I forgot to pack - a hat for Cade. Grandma Larsen pulled through with this one.
Only a two year old can make it look adorable! He was pretty excited to see Santa, even though he has no idea that you're supposed to tell him what you'd like for Christmas. He must think Santa is for picture-taking only! |
 |
| Our two little elves. |
 |
| Grandma and the boys waiting for the popcorn to pop (and eyeing the gingerbread house, covered in candy)! |
 |
| McCall's first time swimming. If only we all looked so cute in a swimsuit! |
 |
| McCall thought she was royalty sleeping on Grandma Larsen's King-sized bed. |
 |
| Grandpa sandwich! |
 |
| Family picture on Christmas Sunday |
 |
| The whole crew |
 |
| Addi had an extra special Christmas since she was able to be blessed that day. What an angel! |
 |
| Cade could hardly keep up with the unwrapping. He wanted to play with everything he got! |
 |
| Reading "If You Give a Dog a Donut." Love those books. |
 |
| McCall got some new books as well. She couldn't be happier now that she has girl toys to play with! |
 |
| One of our many gifts this year. |
 |
| Best friends |
 |
| Aunt Robin just couldn't resist wrapping one more box! |
 |
| A common position for Kent. |
 |
A common position for Cade.
Both boys carried around their Mickey Mouse like it was their left arm!
We are all so spoiled and can't thank our families enough for their generosity! Love you! |
