We Wish You A Merry Christmas...

We hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas and it was so fun to see Thatcher and Taggart having such a great time! We are so grateful for all of our blessings and especially at this time of year for our Savior Jesus Christ, whos birth we celebrate and whos life we honor and try to emulate. We are so grateful for His perfect life which he freely gave that we may be together as a family forever. It has been a wonderful Chrismas!

On Christmas Eve we had a few families over that we have become close to during our time here in Tucson.




We set up the "jumpy jump" (as we call it) for all the kids and let them have at it. It was really cute to see them all laughing and jumping. They were all SO excited for Christmas and Santa and pretty much were WIRED the whole night...it was fun.





The boys in their Christmas jammies.



The Loot...




Taggy riding around on his new trike.


Thatcher has been wanting some games. Here he is with Candyland that Santa brought him. That Santa is so smart!


Taggy is OBSESSED with Mickey Mouse. Here he is with a Mickey Mouse that he got from Grandma and Grandpa Monson that sings, "hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.


And here is Thatcher dancing to that Mickey Mouse song...


Todd wanted a kid carrier so we can port around one boy so we can know where one boy is at all times when we go on walks, picnics, ect. and have more hands for the other one!


Todd got me and the boys crocs for Christmas...they are so comfy!


Thatcher was bouncing off the walls all day!


Sitting down for Chrismtas dinner.


The feast...


Thatcher riding his new bike.

A Sister in my parents ward was kind enough to give Thatcher and Taggart two Super Hero capes that she makes and sells. They are ADORABLE. Thatcher has been wearing his today and acting the part of a Super Hero...which includes jumping off the couch, or "flying" as he calls it.






It's been a long day for Daddy...

Nice haul, you guys! It looks like you had a blast. Isn't Christmas so fun? And I don't blame Todd for 'resting his eyes.' Mr. Potato Head has that effect on some people. I wanted a nap so bad, but never got around to it. . .too busy playing with stuff.

After being Santa's helper all night and morning Daddy deserves to rest his eyes! Or did Todd get too pooped playing with all of the toys???? Which ever, hope he had sweet dreams!

What a fun Christmas! I noticed that there weren't any pictures of you, Rachael, but I'm glad to see that you finally got your treadmill. By the way, did you cut your hair? I think it looks great!
