Pre-Christmas Eve

My family all came to my little house this year the sunday before christmas eve while my mom was here. Mainly because I'm the only one with children that cause havoc everywhere they go and was not in the mood to be stressed out with chasing them around someone elses house all night.

I don't know why but I forgot to get any pictures of dinner. It was yummy, we had BBQ ribs, ham, twice baked potatoes, Raspberry pretzel Jello and salad for dinner with appetizers which included a cheese ball, different crackers and a lil smokies.

Then we opened sibling presents and the kids opened theirs from grandma.

 Logan was pretty thrilled with the noisy shiny paper.

 Braxton was over the moon excited about his new spiderman web blaster.

Baby Milan was flailing his arms around so excited to make noise with the paper. 

 Logan opened his present and shared it with everyone!

Waiting to spray grandma with his web blaster 

He got stacee good. 

Temple Square

Okay Brandon's dad was taking this picture and told everyone not to move and we were all clueless as to what was going on to poor little Braxton at the front of the line. He had thought the picture was done so he jumped off the ledge and the hook he was standing by caught his coat and hung him there just at the right height that his feet couldn't touch the ground.

My smarty pants is learning how to write!

He now has his first name memorized and is constantly writing it everywhere. And just yesterday he asked to draw and wrote his name , mom, dad, and Logan as his drawing.

 These boys love to wrestle, Logan is a slapper. Which we are trying to stop.

 poor little munchkin had a reaction to a little bit of cinnamon in his applesauce.

 Yummy cookies!

 Crazy time with the dogs and a knee high.

 Loving the christmas decorations

 Naughty little climber! figured out how to get on brothers bed.

Thanksgiving

this year we made the long boring trip to Jerome where my mom now lives for Thanksgiving.  

Braxton loves to help get the meal ready. Again this year Brax helped fill the glasses with ice.

 We had to dig into my mom's garage to find some toys and he had fun making pretend smoothies and cakes and serving it to everyone.

 Dad and Logan took a nice and much needed nap.

 Cousins! Their first picture together as cousins. Logan  couldn't figure out why we were all surrounding them and Milan was grumpy.

 Happy baby!

 Sassy boy!
