Christmas Morning

In spite of being snowed in, getting stuck in the snow on my way home from work Christmas morning, and Sawyer and I being sick, we all had a great Christmas. Logan was so patient to wait for me to get home in the morning to open his presents- he was so surprised that Santa actually left him some presents because he has been somewhat "naughty" lately. We had to wake Sawyer up, which made him grumpy opening presents- he wouldn't open anything and he wouldn't let us open them for him but once he saw all the toys that Logan was getting he lightened up a bit. The rest of the day was spent putting toys together and playing with everything. The boys loved all their presents-thanks everyone!-and we had a nice relaxing day-except for Anthony who had to plow our huge driveway not once but twice which was covered with four foot snow drifts, and to dig out his truck so he could go to work today! Unfortunately we didn't make it over to the Vincents for dinner, but will do that this weekend so the cousins can exchange their gifts with each other. Overall, I'd say Christmas 2008 was a success!

Holiday Pictures of the boys

I took some pictures of the boys a few weeks ago in the hopes there would be a couple I could use to send out in my Christmas cards. I had wanted to get some professional pictures taken of them in a studio, but had to settle with a homemade studio I set up in our family room. They actually both cooperated for a few minutes (with threats and bribes) and I was able to take a few good ones!

PJ Party with the Vincent Family

We had our annual pajama party with the Vincent's this weekend. This is our third year doing this and Logan looks forward to having it every year. We all put on new pajamas and headed over to Scott and Jen's where we had some appetizers and let the kids play. We all grabbed some popcorn, coffee and warm eggnog, then loaded up and headed over to Thanksgiving Point to look at their holiday lights- they had very creative light displays there. Afterwards, we went back to Jen's where we watched a holiday movie. This year we watched "Fred Claus"-very cute!! It's so fun to have all the kids together and watch them play with each other. We all had a fun night-thanks guys!!!

Visit with G-Ma and G-Pa "K"

My mom and Stan braved the wind and snow and took a quick trip up to visit this past week. The boys were so excited to have them here! Grandpa taught Logan how to play pool, we built a gingerbread house, and we all went to Logan's Christmas program at school where we watched both Logan and Maddox perform-great job guys (preschoolers are sooo cute!). All the boys (and baby girl) got to open a pre-Christmas gift from grandma and grandpa-new pajama's that they can all wear Christmas Eve! Logan was so sad to see grandma and grandpa go that he cried half the day, and Sawyer ran to get his coat and shoes so that he could go home with them!

A Tedesco Family Dance

We've been so busy this holiday season, but I did find some time to put this dance together for us. It took awhile to teach Jake and Anthony, but Logan and Sawyer caught on really fast. Let me know what you think!
