Christmas Time


    We are definitely fans of Christmas and had a great time this year! We hung out with family a lot and also got to see some good friends. We were excited to give gifts and receive a few too. Jon spoiled me and did the 12 days of Christmas and built up our food storage! It was awesome! He also made me a mantel for our fireplace downstairs! He's amazing! I have the best husband! 
     It's so fun to have a baby to shop for at Christmas time, even if he didn't understand what was going on, he liked the lights, wrapping paper, and putting everything in his mouth. He got lots of clothes and toys. He's much more spoiled than me! Ha ha. He's so cute even with an ear infection he's a very happy baby!


      For the Bay family party we went on a caroling hay ride! Torbin was all snuggled up and fell asleep and we all laughed as we tried to sing carols together. (We usually had 2 things going... one on the front of the trailer and another on the back, we sat in the middle so it was entertaining!) We sported our matching Christmas hats that my dad made. They were a hit.


    As part of Christmas my parents take their grand-kids to Build a Bear so they can make their own presents. Torbin made a monkey, "Macaco", he loves wrestling with him, they are about the same size.


       Yep, he's Santa's Little Man! What a stud. Look at those cheeks! Ooh, so cute!

  
       Here is one of many attempts to get a family Christmas picture! This is one of the best ones. Of course we can't get one with all of us smiling, I think that will be the trend until we have grown kids... Torbin's sweater was donated by Tom's ugly sweater party poster. I love it and think he looks dashing.


      Jon, Torbin and I got movies from Santa. I love how Torbin is looking at his Monsters movie! We're building up our Disney collection, and I gave Jon "Stardust" (that was the movie we watched the night he first kissed me!) I love building family memories and traditions, and I love Christmas!!!! I won't take all our decorations down yet because I think it's depressing. But at least I have 11.5 months to look forward to next Christmas!
