Christmas time is the best time!

Aiden looked to cute in his crib on his duck to not take a picture.

Starting on December 1st we have the boys open up a Christmas book every night. 

I always go to the library and check out some books and wrap them. 

Zack put up our Christmas decorations.

Aiden was in aw with the tree. It was so cute to watch him stare at it. 

Of course we had to put all the decorations up high.

The boys loved playing with the Christmas nativity.

Our house is all decorated for Christmas and we love it!

The week I was in charge of joy school we made Christmas chains. 

They were a lot of work.

Our elf on the shelf even came to visit us on the first of December. 

Tallin named him Alfee.

Aiden thinks he is pretty cool when he puts his feet on the table.

20 Weeks pregnant.
I look smaller then I am in this picture.

This little guy loves playing outside and especially with the rocks and pine cones in the backyard.

Love that cute squishy smile.

We have the best neighborhood. 

They all decorate their houses with awesome Christmas lights. 

We went and took the boys up and down all of the streets. 

Zack's aunts family always goes to the lights parade in Phoenix and we always meet them there. 

The boys had so much fun looking at all the floats with their lights. 

Tallin was acting weird all night and just wanted to lay in the wagon. 

Later that night he woke up with a high fever and couldn't get it to break for a whole week.

We had to take a picture of the fire truck for Tallin.

The next morning was full of snuggles and sick kids. 

Zack stayed home with the boys so I could go to church. 

It was weird going to church and actually being able to listen to the talks.

That night we got the boys into a bath and Tallin said a prayer for himself to feel better. 

It was pretty cute, I just had to sneak a picture.

AJ LOVES popcorn and this was a picture of him after he ate it all gone.

Since both boys had bad colds and fevers, we stayed in the whole week. 

Zack had one day off and I was determined to get out of the house. 

So we went to the temple and walked around. I figured they wouldn't be by kids to get anyone sick, so it was okay.

Zack's glasses turn into sun glasses when it's sunny outside. 

It has helped him not get as many head aches.
As funny as they may look they help him out a lot.

Uncle Erik sent us this car mat for Christmas. 

Tallin loves it!

One night Tallin was feeling so sick and so grumpy that he fell a sleep on me while AJ took a nap. 

Poor kid!

They sure love each other.

Tallin asked me if he could hold my hand.

Popsicles are the one thing that helps the boys feel better.

Since we missed all of the Christmas activities with Santa, we went to Zack's Dr's office Christmas activity. They brought in snow and let the kids play in it. They also had Santa their, AJ was not a fan of him.

After the snow day we went to our favorite restaurant Manuels.

AJ loved the chips and salsa and kept dipping and licking his chip. It was cute!

We tried on our snow hats to see if they were going to work for grandma and papa Baxter's house.

Zack got a early birthday present which was a ladder.
He felt pretty manly after we got it. 

AJ is such a dare devil and just climbed all the way to the top with no fear.

Tallin is more of a scary cat and I was surprised he even got onto the ladder. 

We went and drove around a couple of times to look at our neighbors lights. 

This was one of the boys favorite things to do.

Tallin put on a fun cookie and cocoa party. I was so happy that he was feeling better to still be able to have everyone over. We had such a great turn out.

Poor AJ had a bad cold and was still not feeling good and slept the whole time everyone was here. 

I ended up taking him to the Dr. the next morning and found out he had a ear infection. 

Poor little guy. 

When I took AJ to the Dr. Tallin put his fingers in his ears and said, "I'm a doctor"

That night we went with our friends the Emmon's to the temple lights in Mesa. 

The boys had so much fun hanging out together.

They sure love to play together.

After we went to the Christmas lights we went out for ice cream.

Tallin loves Joy school and loves playing with his friends. 

He asks about them all the time.

Tallin made me this cute picture frame for Christmas.

Aiden's favorite part of the day is when they can play outside.

"Look mom I'm a airplane!"

I needed to get out of the house one day so we went to the library. 

The boys love playing with all of their toys.

Tallin's favorite thing to do is read books. 

He is so cute when he reads them too.

I put on a joint joy school Christmas party with another group that has the same age kids as ours. 

The kids loved it. I made these cute reindeer noses to have the kids put up to their faces when we sang Rudolfo the red nose reindeer.

Zack helped me prepare for the party by painting the plates that we made into reefs.

Zack took Aiden on a little date during our party because he had the day off. 

It was nice to not have to worry about him while putting on the party.

Oh gosh they are just too cute!

We also decorated cookies. All Tallin wanted to do was eat the sprinkles. 

Tallin was really proud of his art project.

That night Tallin was going to a hockey game with Zack. 

So Tallin and I went to the store to get them some treats to eat there. 

He wanted to hold the bag all by himself.

He loves hockey and was so excited!

Since AJ didn't go, he got to eat cookies with me and watch a show.

These boys had so much fun at the game.

Tallin was in heaven and always wants to play hockey now.
