Christmas 2010

Christmas was awesome this year as we got to spend it in sunny California, although to be honest it rained quite a bit. It was still way better than freezing cold Utah. We made it to California on Christmas Eve after splitting the drive up into 2 days. Tucker loved helping everyone open their presents. My favorite part was after Tucker had opened a box or two of clothes, he would say, "clothes," in this disgusted voice and quickly move onto the next present. He is a true boy, not interested in clothes at all.

He has started to say "Cheese" when we take pictures of him and he makes a pretty funny face.






We had lots of fun getting together with all the family that was there for my cousin's wedding. Of course, many fun games were played.



We made an awesome gingerbread house, but somehow I forgot to take a picture of the finished project.



Sheldon and I brought down some funny little Christmas games to play, we called it the Christmas Olympics. My favorite was this one where you had to tear a Christmas Tree out of a piece a paper behind your back, without looking. Most of ours were barely in the shape of a tree and then Sheldon pulls his out, and it was this completely perfect tree. Somehow Sheldon is just amazing like that.


Blowing up plastic bubbles, very fun if you have never tried it before. Tucker and his serious 'Cheese' face.






Lots of good food and fun at the different wedding events. Sheldon is holding my cousin's little girl, I love her face in this picture. Apparently she is not a big fan of Sheldon.






Happy New Year!





We had too much fun just enjoying the great weather and spending time with family. It was so hard to come back. Now we are just counting down to the arrival of Baby Girl, only 4 more weeks!

Christmas Morning

This year I decided it's going to be an official tradition every year to take family pictures before opening presents. I think it's funny to take pictures just after people wake up and I'm sure in the future our kids will love having to wait to open presents to take pictures.


Tucker loved the new books he got for Christmas, he got some sesame street books from my Grandma and he said 'Elmo' all morning.





I love the new robe that Sheldon got me for Christmas and we all got new pajamas for Christmas. Note to self: next year start shopping for pajamas earlier because almost all the stores were sold out of the smaller sizes of pajamas!


Tucker still doesn't quite understand that a wrapped present has something exciting on the inside, but he did enjoy helpin us rip the wrapping paper off.




Tucker got a cute music set from Grandma and Grandpa Mills and he loves it so much! This kid definitely loves music, the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is reach for the CD player in his room and say "dss" ( I think that is his word for music) until you turn it on. He has had a lot of fun so far making his own music by banging the drumsticks on everything in the house.
