Christmas 2012

What a fun-filled Christmas we had this year.  It started out with going up to Temple Square to see the lights with Gma and Gpa Tucker.  I love this temple.

Gpa with Rudolf, I mean Masie.

Gma helping Micah take some awesome pics.

Morgan loving the lights.

McKenzie and Malia trying to stay warm together.

I love that we have at least 1 set of grandparents close to do fun things like this with.

What an awesome evening.  It was pretty chilly, but we survived.

That night we crashed at their house and woke up early the next morning to leave for Montana to go spend the rest of Christmas with Gma and Gpa Schmidt's, and this is what we looked like for most of the vacation.

Just kidding, we can be serious. . . sometimes.

We got a special present this year. . .Masie, lol.

Gpa Schmidt even was able to join in our festivities.  He just had part of his back fused from a previous back injury and this is him 10 days post-op. As long as he wore his girdle he came out to be with us.

Yes Bacon, we DO love you!!!

Kilroy made an appearance.

We opened Christmas jammies

Masie found her tag, which she does for everything and then proceeds to eat it.

I had to get one more shot of the newlyweds before they were not the newlyweds anymore.  They hit their 1 year mark and we have a new set of newlyweds in the family now.

My little boog.

Masie really had fun her 1st Christmas.  She loves trying to rip the paper and then quickly putting it into her mouth.

Bacon had our family for Christmas and she made us our own pillowcases.  They are soo cute.

Shauna's family came down Christmas evening and the kids were so happy to see their cousins again.  I didn't get a ton of shots with them because they had so much fun together, I really didn't see them a whole lot but they did get to go sledding together which they loved.

I helped my mom put get pictures and put together this frame for my dad.  He's been wanting something like this for years to show off to he colleagues.  He looked really happy to get this.

We played lots of games, and thanx to Uncle Eggs (Bacon's hubby) it was documented.

We had a lot of fun up in Montana and were so grateful we had the opportunity to go up there.  On New Years Eve we headed back down to Utah to spend the end of the year with Gpa/Gma Tucker.  We had another "Christmas"  with them.  Here's proof of Masie's paper fetish.

And of course the camera got put down again during our New Years shindig.  Julie and her family came over for the festivities and all of kids lasted for the ball to drop.  It was a fun evening.  I'm so grateful that we were able to see so much family this Christmas.  Who knows if that will ever happen again, so I will take it when I can.  Oh and we were able to Skype with Kristi and chat with James on the phone on Christmas day which was awesome.  Here's to 2013, hopefully this year will bring a new job and a potential move.
