Christmas

So we had a wonderful Christmas. We started out the day before Christmas Eve at Grandma and Papa's house in Tremonton, we played games and had a wonderful dinner, even Uncle Mike showed up! We spent the night and opened presents when Matt and Shantel got there!

Then we headed down to Grandpa and Grandma Wendee's house for Christmas breakfast dinner! And we got to open presents there and then played games until late! We got so spoiled with all the presents everyone gave us...Thank you!

On Christmas Morning we got up to find Santa had come! Luke got a soft horse in his sock with some little people star wars action figures, and some cookies!

He also got a table of fun that sings and lights up, and some really fun bath toys!

Wyatt got a train set that he played with for 3 days straight. He also got some fun learning coloring books that you can wipe the crayon off and re-color, as well as some flash cards that he loves to sit down and do with Tim!
Tim and Wyatt both had a really big present under/next to the tree for the past few weeks that they weren't aloud to touch, both have been very curious to see what was inside!!
It was a sled... they got to try it out on Saturday, and had a really fun time!

After opening presents we headed out in the blizzard to my Aunt Peggy's church for our party, unfortunately it was too much of a blizzard for Mom, Dad, Nick, and Pam to get out and we didn't get to see them. But we had a great time with my Aunts and cousins and then came home to watch some of our new movies!

The following Monday we got together with everyone again at the Golden Coral so those who missed got to see each other!

Nick's Wrestling Meet!!

We got to go see Nick Wrestle in Coalville the weekend before Christmas!!

He did an awesome job, he pinned the first guy no problem,
but the second guy he was up 13-0 and the last 30 seconds of the last round the other guy just happened to get lucky. Nick was great though!

Wyatt thought it was cool to hang out with the big kids, and I even caught him warming up with Nick.

Santa hat fun...

After getting all decorated we found the Santa hats and the boys had some fun with them, I had to let everyone see them!!
Little Santa, and mommy!

Blind Santas...

Cute Santa that wanted to attack the camera!

Christmas Tree Hunt

One of our Christmas Traditions every year is to go cut a fresh tree out in the great out doors. We go with Ben and Andrea and the boys every year as well, usually the day after Thanksgiving! This year we actually had some snow to walk through, but it was great fun! Wyatt got some snowballs thrown, and we found our tree first, we usually take for ever! But this year we had some furniture rearrangements and we are putting our tree in a new spot so we had to go skinny... Tim didn't mind, he had to carry it down the mountain! Ben and Andrea's tree on the other hand was a 20 footer!! Lots of FUN!

Holiday Party at Grandma Erickson's!!

We had some serious fun on Thanksgiving and last weekend for the Erickson Christmas Party!! Wyatt had cousins he could run and play with, and Mom and Dad didn't even have to be there by his side all day!! This is Riley pushing the kids, Cole, Wade, and Wyatt! He got his exercise in!
If there was space for Wyatt on the go-cart he was on it! Jace did a great job driving! We also got to shoot clay pidgins out in the Field and I even got a few... Tim got more than a few!!

Cole and Luke hanging out on the flat bed watching the other kids play in the goat pen on the toys!!

Wyatt played hard and long, and by the time we made it home there was no waking him!!

City of the Rocks

The second weekend in November we took a trip with my Brother, Ben, and his wife Andrea and the boys, as well as our friend Brenda and Zach to City of the Rocks!! We had so much fun, it turned out to be a beautiful day. We set up a Zip line and rock climbed as well. Wyatt had so much fun on the zip line and playing with the cousins... this will have to be done again! Thanks Ben for bringing all of the gear and expertise!

Mommy Milestones....

I had to write about some of my "Mommy Milestones"!! The boys are getting so big, so fast! Luke has 2 teeth on the bottom and eats everything in sight! He has been crawling since September, and now he is holding on to things and walking along them, it seems like he is learning faster than Wyatt, but maybe he has some more encouragement because he wants to be like Big Brother!
Wyatt is getting smarter everyday as well! It is fun to hear all of the things he says and wonder where he got it from! He is still obsessed with planes and reminds us of it everyday! He has been potty trained since Halloween, and he wakes up 19 out of 20 days dry! This has been one of the best milestones in my opinion!!

The 2 of them interact so well also, Wyatt can make Luke laugh and giggle like no one else and they love to with be each other! Best Buds!!!
