Our Christmas

Merry Christmas! We had a fun-filled holiday!
We went to the Christmas Village in Ogden on 25th street. It was so fun and magical! The boys had a lot of fun with their cousins running around and getting to see what surprise was in each "christmas house".

Bob-a-loo, as usual, got a bit ornery and done walking around. Luckily, grandpa could hold him and keep him warm.

Here we are in front of the Tree in Alpine and g-ma and g-pa Copfer's house. The boys really enjoyed Christmas eve there!

It's Christmas morning and the presents are being opened!

I did a GREAT job at getting video, but unfortunately I forgot about the whole picture camera... so not so many great photos from that.

The Tree before all the presents were opened. I had to wait till AFTER the boys were asleep to even put the presents out from everyone. We had an incident with Bob-a-loo earlier this season, so they were hidden in my room untill the special night.

And here is what they got! Those boys had a lot of fun opening everything.

I think they really enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy the morning. They had to have their tv time before playing with more toys and going to g-pa Darrell's.

We had a very enjoyable Christmas. All in all, I think the boys made off quite well, and were quite happy with the results. We even tried to remember what this time is all about and think of Jesus Christ and his example to us. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

homemade Christmas gifts

I had planned to make all my christmas gifts this year. However, life happened and I didn't have the time I thought I would to complete all my ideas. I was able to get a couple of the gifts made. I know it's before Christmas, and I'm showing the gifts. But I just don't care and I'm guessing those who are getting these gifts won't actually look at my blog before they get the present, if they even look at my blog at all. (I hope I didn't offend any of my regular readers, I probably didn't make this for you.)


I'm really excited about the hat. It was knitted, and I'm not as good at knitting as I thought I would be, or atleast I'm not as fast at it as I am at crocheting. The hat took atleast 2 times as long as I thought it would to make.
I love the wraps because I made the pattern from another wrap I bought. I am actually really proud of them because of that! They sure turned out great, if I do say so myself.

The snowman was really fun to make and SO much easier than I thought it would be. I just got the pattern off of Lion brands free patterns. I had it out the other day, before I wrapped it, and I caught Bob-a-loo playing with it like a stuffed animal. It's actually an ornament, a big ornament, but if I had more time I'd probably make my boys one each just without the part to hang it on the tree.


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Breakfast with Santa!

This year for our family Christmas party we had breakfast with Santa. We had a large, really good breakfast and as we were finishing Santa came and joined us. My digital camera is dead, and I haven't unpacked the charger yet, so luckily others were there and took the pictures for me (thanks Merrilee!)

Bob-a-loo was the first to run up to santa and sit on his lap. we have no stranger danger there... good or bad I'm not sure. But he was happy to talk with santa, and I did over hear that Bob-a-loo wants race cars for christmas.I had to entice Monkey to get over and talk with santa. I was surprised when he actually sat on his lap and talked with santa. It was really cute when santa asked Monkey what he wanted him to bring, Monkey would only whisper in his ear... I didn't get to hear what he said. We'll see if santa was on his game or not this year.
