Christmas 2009!!

Beware: this post probably contains way more pictures than anyone cares to see, but since this is like a journal for me I couldn't downsize enough for your viewing pleasure..sorry!
Since we went to St. George for Xmas, Ty got one of his gifts early...
Nana and Papa came to give us our gifts before we left...
and Ty was so excited to get a Firetruck from them!
A couple days before Xmas we headed to the "farm" in Rockville to stay over night with my family. We decorated the tree (notice there's no top...mom couldn't find it), made gingerbread houses and Sam opened his call...kinda!
I don't do belly shots very often so here you go...
Rudolph showed up for the party
Sam got his flight plans in the mail for his mission before his actual mission call came...weird I know! So Sam waited all day to tell us where he was going...Winnepeg, Canada! Congrats bro!
The kids doggy-pilling on Kallie and Skyler
Gingerbread Fun!
We cheated by getting the pre-made kind, but we're new at this!
In the morning the kids were having fun on the blow-up bed
And of coarse it wouldn't be a true farm visit without riding the tractor with Grandpa!
On Xmas Eve Sam had all his friends over to open is actual mission call that finally came!
Xmas morning: Ty finding all his gifts from Santa...
Grandpa teaching Ty how to use his tools
Guess who's going to start potty training...it's time...stay tuned on that topic!
Music session with Ty's mentor Sam
Everybody came over later to open gifts from each other...
Dad didn't last long...
Ty was so excited to get a "tar" like Sam
Grandpa decided to wake up for a jam session
Introducing Builder Bob...
and his sidekick Eli
Ty loves his new drums...this is a musician in the making
Taking a spin on Eli's cool bike
This is one spoiled and happy boy!
Before we went back home we all went with Sam to get his Endowments done. Now all my parent's children are Endowed...good job Mom and Dad...you must be doing something right! I can't believe my baby brother is growing up...love ya bud and Congrats!

Hooray for Christmas and Rockville and family and mission calls! It looks like you had a GREAT time!

I've just got to say...spending some time with Sam after Thanksgiving was a highlight for me.

He is so funny and cute and I love his laugh!!! He will be an awesome missionary!!!


Ty is adorable!
