Merry Christmas!

So this is Christmas, I always feel sad when the day comes and goes. There is so much fun anticipation for a month and then the day is over and the radio stops playing Christmas songs and all of the decorations come down. But our memories are sure nice and next year's Christmas will come quickly. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season. Our family did mostly everything we had wanted to do, see temple lights, bake cookies, visit with family, see Santa, sang Christmas carols and have friends over.


Our Christmas tree after Santa came with all of his goodies!


Santa brought Joshua a little quad, some tools to work on his quad and a puzzle. He also got a stocking full of goodies and several presents from family.



Santa brought Ethan a bike (which he has yet to overcome his fear of riding), a scooter and a drum set. Ethan also got lots of other presents from family and treats in his stocking.





My Sweet Joshua is enough of a present for me this Christmas. In one more year he'll be talking clearly and not have a soft diaper bum anymore. They just get big too quickly.





Ethan learned lots of Christmas songs at preschool and is very serious about singing them all the way through.

I have not updated my blog for a while, I am just not good at commenting on my life when I know other people will read it, so sorry. Our family has been just keeping up with life and getting ready for Christmas. Ethan is so ready for Christmas morning, he's says he can't wait another day for his presents. Christmas for him seems like it will never come, but for me the Christmas season is going to come and go all too quickly. Joshua is also excited for Christmas and loves looking at decorations and lights everywhere, although I don't think he realizes that there will be presents on Christmas morning.

Here are couple of our Christmas photos, the boys had fun decorating the tree. We also went out to Temple Lights and enjoyed teaching our boys about the true meaning of Christmas.





Michael's Grandpa Muir past away last month, and we were able to go up to Utah for the funeral. It was a lovely funeral and our boys behaved so well at all of the events. They were always walking around with their reverent arms.
