Christmas Lights

We started a tradition when Lincoln was born to go to the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We go in cozy clothes, bring hot chocolate in mugs and candy canes. It's so fun to look at the lights and the story about Jesus Christ' birth at the end of the lights. Lincoln loves hearing the story.

Lincoln was excited that he was able to help dad so he could see the lights.

Lincoln loves Santa this year. Here he is waving at him. Sorry it's blurry.

Ward Christmas Party

At the Ward Christmas Party, the kids were waiting patiently for their special visitor to arrive. Lincoln was all excited to hear a story from that person, until.............

.......he realized it was Santa. He got up immediately looking for Dale and I. Dale is on the activities chair and was really busy planning everything for Santa.

We said that we would wait in line with Lincoln if he would sit on his lap. We explained that he had to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas to make sure Santa knows. I didn't even realize that we all matched. We had yummy soups that everyone brought. It was nice to eat and try a little of them all.

Lincoln telling Santa that he wants a train for Christmas. He told everyone he was asking for a train for Christmas.

Christmas at the Rex's

The Sunday before Christmas we went to the Rex Family Christmas Party. It was really fun because Lincoln understood that he was giving a present and was really excited that one of his cousins was giving him something.

Grandma gave them all pajamas that matched. It was so cute to see them all together.

We are constantly fighting with Lincoln about putting his feet up on everything. It is adorable though. The funny thing is in my ultrasound pictures he had his legs crossed and when he is really relaxed that is how he lays. He wouldn't put the costume on for one of the wiseman. We only got as far as the headband.

Easton was readng Luke in the Bible about the birth of Jesus. When he got to the part about how they threw stones, we all threw fuzzy balls at him and he ran off. Poor Easton.

Grandma got the kids 3d glasses and when they looked at the Christmas tree it looked like snow mans were all over the tree. Lincoln loved them and thought it was so cool.

Our sweet little Avery got our soon to be born baby boy a toy for Christmas that she bought at her school. Thank you, Avery.

Hunter got Lincoln a Cars hopper and bubbles. It is so funny watching Lincoln hop around the house. It usually ends up with him falling over but he is getting better everyday.

Lincoln went to Uncle Jimmy to open his bubbles after Mommy said no. They are smarter than we think.

Lincoln drew Braden for the gift exchange. Hopefully Braden likes his radio controlled helicopter. They are so cute.

Lincoln was shoving the fuzzy balls in his ear. He couldn't hear me calling him for the photo or he selected not to hear.

His cousins and their Uncle Jimmy.

Lincoln opening his present. Dale got a BYU tie and BYU golf balls. I got the best present ever, 15 sessions with Jimmys personal trainer. At first, I thought he trying to tell me something.....but it definately is well needed after the baby is born. I am so excited to get in the gym after the baby is born. Thank you everyone for all of our gifts.
