Merry Merry Christmas

Once again we had a very Merry Christmas. I think we enjoyed watching the boys more than anything.  Deacon still didn’t get the whole Christmas concept, but we’re working on it!

We enjoyed dinner at the Riverwoods after seeing the Carl Bloch art exhibit at BYU on the eve of Christmas Eve

See the little baby boy on the left? That’s my stepsister’s son. He died unexpectedly 3 days after Christmas. We are heartbroken :(

hahah, that picture is awesome. Evan's face is hilarious, however your face is beautiful.

That sweater is hideous. Why does it have short sleeves and an add-on turtle neck?

P.S. I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew. That is really tragic. Give your stepsister my condolences, I can't even imagine what she's going through.

Glad we got to see you guys- looks like you had fun! Those boys are too dang cute.

So sorry about your nephew :(

I am so glad you had a Merry Christmas, your boys always seem so happy. I can't believe about the baby, wow what an awakening to cherish each moment, I'll have to ask you more about what happened at book club.

I am so sorry! Doesn't that make you want to hug your kids so tight??? And at Christmas time too :(

JAG Family said...

Your blog is too funny. Christmas was great, as usual. Kevin's sweater was epic. Why are your boys so stinking cute?! That pic of Evan has me laughing out loud.

Looks like a happy Christmas! And the boys scored some awesome gifts. Let me know how that train table/car table works. I haven't been able to decide which table to get!

Sad about your nephew- that is so devastating!

Mary Ann said...

Why is life so hard? I just do not know. I am sorry.

I love the pic your dad took of you and Evan. I chuckled! I am so glad you and your family had a great holiday. Hope New Years is just as fun!

Melissa said...

Looks like some fun traditions! I'm glad I got a sneak peak at your christmas card, it's so cute! I'm so sorry about your step sister's baby, that must be so hard, like Breanna said, a lesson to us all the cherish every moment.

is that a "dickie" underneath your uncles sweater?? i'm totally laughing, classic! the pic of you and evan is great...you are beautiful! He is such a character! sounds like you need to invest in a battery charger for the cars!

that is so heartbreaking about your nephew, and such a hard time of year for something so tragic to happen :( hugs.

no, BreAnna is not running Ragnar with me. I'm interested in running it again this year too. If you find a group that needs an extra person, let me know!

Such cute kids. Love them.

I heard that awful story about your nephew. I can only imagine what they are all going through. I'm so sorry.

It was great to see you guys at Christmas! Wish it could've been for longer. Evan looks like a midget version of Terry in the picture by the bear. So cute!

P.S. Hopefully Terry can talk you guys into visiting soon!
