Christmas 2012

For Christmas this year, we were able to spend it in Fountain Green with my parents.  We celebrated with the annual Christmas eve party down at my grandma Betty's house and the proceeded up to my parents for our new jammies, Christmas story, and toasting! 
I seriously love my mom!! She is one of my best friends.  We have so much fun every year in our matching jammies! She was especially fond of her zebra footie jammies! What some hotties we got here! :)
 One of the funnest things that happened for our little family this Christmas season was receiving the 12 days of Christmas-Baby Gender reveal!  My sister-in-law Shanell had my name for Christmas, so she did the 12 days of Christmas, with a little baby gift and poem every day, with Day 12 being Christmas morning and Coby and I finding out what were were having!! Some of the gifts included: lotion, wash, jammies, binkis, onesies, diapers, wipes, blanket, burp cloth, hooded towel and many more.  Seriously, this made Christmas so much fun!! I can't thank her enough for everything she did! 

Christmas morning we were dying to find out!  (Just FYI, Coby's buddy snuck us in for an ultrasound to find out what our baby was, but we didn't look and never saw the results.  A co-worker spoke on the phone to Shanell and told her the results, so we had no clue)
Christmas morning the first thing we opened was this gianormous box filled with.... BLUE BALLOONS!!
IT's a BOY!!
 We seriously were so excited to find out that it was another little boy!

 And a little brother for Kayson!


 Some of our presents left out from Santa

 Grandma and Kayson
 Coby sporting his new snowboarding goggles

 Kayson was loving everything and was so much fun opening presents.
 He loved his new train set from Santa and had lots of fun playing with Grandpa
 Our christmas loot!
Coby surprised me with a kitchen aide and a beautiful temple picture and various other things
I got him some new clothes, new shoes, a saws-all, and various other tools

 Having a mad run at hungry hippos and penny hockey!
 I don't know how well you can see it in the collage, but my dad would stick his tongue out every time it was his turn to flick.... he's still got his competitive nature!

Kayson and grandpa napping

 Playing tracks with grandma
 And of course we were able to help grandpa feed the sheep multiple times while we were there. 
Coby and my dad had to move some big bales of hay and climbed up top to knock them off.  After the big bale rolled off, Kayson said. "I do it" and "my turn".  It was so funny.  So we let him atleast climb up!

 Grandpa sporting his new beanie Christmas morning (sorry out of order)

We had an amazing Christmas!  Being pregant with this second baby and having Kayson be such a fun age, made this holiday season even more special.  We are so grateful for our wonderful families and the birth and life of our Savior.  We truly are blessed and had such a magical season!
 
A week or so after Christmas, we spent some time with Coby's mom and family.  She gave Kayson and Coby some new elastic shooting guns (goggles included) and they have had a ball ever since.  
 Shooting the new guns!
 Love my boys!
And I just had to throw this one on there.  Kayson playing with his new little art set.  He loves all his new toys and it so stinking cute!
And there... finally, is our Christmas adventures for 2012!
