Our Holidays in Utah!

Christmas EveWe arrived in Utah after about a 10 hour drive and we had the pleasure of staying at Todd and Allison's new home for Christmas Eve. Right away the boys were entertained. They had fun playing Christmas songs with bells. They could all play a pretty good tune too! After settling in, the boys opened their new Christmas jammies from mommy and daddy and then they had fun opening gifts they had gotten for each other (they pick them out all by themselves - with a price limit of course!)

Jaxson loves balls so he was in heaven and Landon has been wanting this book - so Brayden scored brotherly points.



Cameron loves to color and paint, especially when it involves Mickey Mouse!

Had to catch the hug on camera - it doesn't happen often enough with these boys, but despite their toughness, we know they love each other. Jaxson was enjoying every minute of all this new excitement.

Christmas Morning

The boys eagerly waited to come down the stairs to see if Santa had gotten the note we left in CA letting him know we were in Utah...

Guess he got the note, cause there were four happy little boys on Christmas morning!



The boys got DS's and they were ecstatic, even the bigger boy!


Mommy enjoyed her new snuggie from all the boys and Daddy his new sweatshirt.

Christmas Day
Jaxson's 1st Christmas!


We all enjoyed going to Grandpa Hughes' where all the families got together for a yummy dinner. After filling his tummy, Daddy was tired from all the hard work the night before. I bet Santa was tired too!

Ashlin and Cameron loved playing their leapsters together.
Christmas Again!
It was Christmas all over, once Great-Grammy and Great-Papa arrived!







Look! Its the cutest present ever - an Addi!




Todd loved his sandwich maker we got him!

Dad got his son-in-laws the best present ever ... In-N-Out T-shirts! Its a tradition now, since last year and they all love them.


Wii Fun!

Sledding Fun!

Josh didn't quite make it to the top before he started to sled.

Finally down to the bottom - but he is actually going to have to try staying on the tube next time. :)
Brayden went flying down the hill on their new tube!

DJ, the masked stud, coming down without a sled.

Denny taking it all in the face!
When he wasn't sledding, you could always find Landon eating snow.
Hi down there!
Here we come!


Everyone watching all our daring children.

The snow was fun and beautiful!

Gingerbread house time!



All Finished! Isn't it cute! The proud builders all smiles!

New Years Eve at the Milius'


White elephant fun! Some of the gifts you don't even want to know what they were. :)

Santa even came!
