Oh how I wish Christmas would stay around longer. This is both boys first picture ever with Santa! (Even though this is Parker's 3rd Christmas.) Parker was so stinking excited to sit on Santa's lap. This Christmas Parker has been able to understand so much more. He loved reading books with Santa in them and watching movies as well. One morning Parker looked out the window to our backyard and shouted, "reindeer!" As soon as it was Parkers turn to sit on Santa's lap, he became very shy and wasn't so sure. Go figure! Jaxon was also sleeping at the time so I had to snag him from my Mom's shoulder. Both boys were just not sure what to think.
When we got home we opened their Christmas jammies from their Great Grandma Reber. They are so so CUTE! For some reason I don't have any pictures of the boys opening their presents on Christmas day. Jaxon could care less and Parker insisted on playing with each toy for a while before he would open the next. I got Steve his very first gun for Christmas and he loves it! Best gift I have given him. :)
We went to Brian Head later on Christmas day and stayed in a cabin. We also got to talk to Braden. He will be home before we know it!
Our friends from Rexburg came to visit us during the Christmas break. It is crazy how fast kids change and grow, especially when you don't see them for a while!
Jaxon just picked up crawling in December. He is EVERYWHERE! I am afraid it wont be long before he begins walking. Someone please slow down time! He also has both his bottom teeth now.
So, I have this thing, where I swear my twin brothers are still just awkward, goofy middle schoolers. I am then somehow reminded that I am completely wrong. They are SENIORS. They are almost old enough to go on MISSIONS! They have turned into quite handsome young men! I really think that I have been trying to ignore the fact that they will soon be gone. I have absolutely loved living so close to them during this time in their lives. My boys love their Uncles and I love to see them interact with each other. For now, I will try to soak up all the time that I can get with them!

So here I am now, wondering how in the heck our break is over. I am both ready and not ready to go back to work again. I will miss spending all of my time with my boys, but I am also ready to get out of the house...plus I eat better when I am not at home all day! :) Too bad we somehow managed to wait until the end of the break to catch a yucky bug. Nothing like starting off a new year at work feeling exhausted! HA!
