It's Christmas 2009-Part 1

Christmas Eve started at our new house with my Mom and we had a feast. It was so delicious it was like Thanksgiving all over again- yummy!

We spent plenty of time lounging and playing with toys!

My hubby and I.

The boys acting silly.

Uncle Mikey and little Tray. After a fun meal at our house we headed over to my sister's house for presents and desert.

Tray with his goodies.

His Aunt Heath and Uncle Nick got him the coolest guitar to rock out on! Thanks guys!

Super cool!

The boys having a jam session. They are so cute together and get along great! Tray loves his little cousin so much and says "Bry-rin, Pease" Which translates to Brykin Please. He can't get enough of him.

Papa Nick and Papa James.

Showing off some of my gifts.

More play time.

My favorite Bro and I. I love you bud!

Next we headed up East to my Dad's house.

Tray opening our traditional Christmas Eve gift which is usually some adorable Christmas PJ's.

Tray and Nana.

Tray in his PJ's and ready for Santa to come. Can you tell it was way past bedtime? What a good sport.

Christmas morning... I think Santa made it!

Tray just getting warmed up and not sure quite what to think.

Opening gifts with the kiddos

The boys just chilling!

Oh yes, did I mention that Santa brought James a Shot gun? Hmm, I don't know if Santa cleared this with me ;) JK. He was so thrilled he has wanted one of these for years.

Tray was loving the 3 dogs that were up there. He thought they were downright hilarious. I think he needs a puppy.

Still not quite sure what the heck is going on...

Starting to catch on...

At last, getting the hang of this opening presents thing.

Breakfast- we always have our favorite thing- Ebleskevers. I know that is most definitely spelled wrong. They are so my favorite and I look forward to them every year. This year I even made the dough with my sis and they turned out edible. I love when that happens!

The boys enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Tray and Nana.

Tray and Papo.

My little munchkin.

Uncle Mikey and the Tray-man just relaxing after a hard day of fun! Thanks to my Family for such a fun time. We are so blessed to be in Utah and be so close. We love you all so much! Thanks for all the thoughtful gifts and more importantly the memories!

Stay tuned for Christmas 2009- Part 2!!

Our first annual Dental School Reunion Christmas Party!!!

We had our first ever annual Dental School Reunion Christmas Party this year! It was so fun to get together with everyone and catch up. We had to hit up the OG like good old times and the boys wasted no time to get talking about teeth! It is hard to believe they are Doctors now :)

After we went back to our house to talk, enjoy desert and hot chocolate and as always open White Elephant gifts. The gift giving was hilarious! I have seen this toilet monster on AFV and have been wanting one for like 5 years. I cannot wait to try it out on my hubby. He he.

This cracked me up. Michelle what a good sport. To make a long story short....after an emotional ordeal with a 1 1/2 year old who ingested a pin miraculously they found it in his diaper the next morning. That is not the actual diaper don't worry.

Ahh, this is classic. James has been wanting this DVD for a long time. Too bad it was not an autographed version...you can't have everything.

Us.

Our cute friends, the Hutchison family

The Olson family.

The Defay family.

We had such a blast guys. It was like no time had passed at all. Thanks for driving long distances to make it happen. Did I mention that I miss you guys!! You are the best

Our trip to Park City!

After 2 flat tires and locking my keys in the car and myself out of the house we finally headed for Park City with my mom and sis. We loaded up the boys and headed for the mountains.

Tray and Brykin chilling in the car.

We hit up the Factory stores of course. Tray loves his Zana.

Lunch on Main Street. Expensive but yummy.

A desperate attempt to keep the boys preoccupied while we were shopping. It worked but was very messy.

My little Tray-man looking cute in his winter gear.

Eating out. It's my fav!!

We were even able to hit the slopes for a little snowboarding action. Yes, I look like a marshmallow but being warm takes priority over appearance.

My awesome Bro and my hottie of a hubby. Those two have a lot of fun together. It was our first run of the season and we were very rusty. I am so out of shape and my legs were burning. I loved it though and I still maintain my dream of being a ski bum.

My bro's very nice ski boots- I am jealous.

Dr. Hillstrom brushing Tray's teeth. That is his designated job... he went to school for it (a lot of school) so why should I even bother :)

Tray discovered how to make this silly face and was laughing so hard over it.

So adorable.

Tray managed to find my brother's guitar and look as cute as ever for this photo. My bro is staying up in PC in our condo and so we got to see a lot of him , which was so fun! I love my family more than anything. You guys are so fun! The boys went to Avatar and the girls went shopping. A wonderful week away.
