Christmas Day!

We have now celebrated our third Christmas in Utah. It is hard to believe we have lived here this long! The boys had a great time. Dylan was in stimulus overload for the most part and never stopped all day! He loved opening presents and insisted that he had to help all of us open our presents as well. I think we could have just wrapped boxes and he would have had just as much fun! He really did love all his new toys though and his new Smart Cycle video game was his favorite, along with all Austin's new toys! Sharing certainly will take a long time to master. Enjoy the pictures!


Dylan sets out cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas Eve.


Jinx inspects the presents after Santa departs.


Austin loves his new ride/walk truck. Dylan also likes it and usually starts to ride it as soon as Austin is playing with it.








Dylan takes charge of another one of Austin's new toys.


Big surprise! Dylan loves Austin's new farm.


Wow! They are actually involved in separate activities! A brief reprieve for the mediator.















Dylan loves riding his Smart Cycle. Hopefully this will help burn some of his energy during these cold winter months.






Mike carves our roasted goose. It was a tradition for many years in my family to have a Christmas goose and it sure was fun to bring it to our family. We cooked it perfectly and it went great with my homemade cran-raspberry dressing.




Dylan has been dying to eat our gingerbread house since we made it last week. I kept telling him it was a Christmas decoration and we can't eat it until after Christmas.


I finally remembered to put the hat on Austin's adorable "My First Christmas" outfit. Unfortunately, he was not too enthused. Oh well...




Almost bedtime! They were both exhausted and so were we!


These pictures were taken the morning after Christmas. We got at least 10 inches of snow overnight. It was our first official white Christmas with new snow.
