Here we are on Christmas eve. We did a nativity with puppets. It went much better than last year, but I think Devon was too busy coraling James to take pictures.
Spencer's PJ's and book from grandma. She found the perfect book for Spencer's imagination.
I also let the boys open their DI stuffed animals on Christmas Eve. Spencer took his everywhere all Christmas break. Who knew his favorite present would be from the DI?
James got Cookie Monster and Big Bird. He loves to say "Cookie!"
Here they are in their cute Christmas PJ's, Thanks Gandma!
The room on Christmas morning, before the boys hit it!
Coming down the stairs together
Let's see what I got!
Dash!
James got a train from Santa
And Spencer got a Spiderman costume, complete with extra muscles
The boys got scarves and slippers for cold Idaho, you can't see Spencer's slippers
Grandma and Spencer got nerf guns, another favorite present
I got Devon a Zombie shirt- it was a great ebay find!
Grandma made the boys capes with their initial on the back.
I made breakfast- tree french toast- It turned out pretty good!
We went sledding in the afternoon. It was mostly ice and very fast- just Spencer's style. Here he is enjoying a ride with Natalie
James was not so sure about the whole thing, and I don't think he could sit up in all of those clothes!
Seriously, what is the fun in dressing like a marshmallow, careening down a hill to your near-death and freezing? (James' thoughts)
Grandma has some great toys. Grandpa helped him learn to lift weights with these, but I can't transfer the video. It was so cute though- he was grunting and everything.
We stayed at my sister's house on the way back and went bowling! Spencer could not even stand still to take a picture he loved it so much.
Other great times not pictured1- my personal favorite, Devon and I got away for a day, went to a movie, shopping, Texas Roadhouse and a bed and Breakfast, and went to a temple that wasn't 2 hours away. It was soooo nice- thanks mom and dad!
2-We also saw Tangled, and even Devon thought it was the best movie he saw over the break (he also saw Tron and Narnia) happy birthday Natalie!
3- we got to talk to my brother who is in Argentina on his mission
4-Lots of other great presents
5- not so great, but we went to the allergist and after about 100 scratches on his back we found out that Spencer is very allergic to Cashews, also dogs and cats and other things like trees and grass. Now we have to carry an epi-pen-that scares me
6- Jump-on-it with Anna and the kids- Spencer loved this!
7- lots of playing with cousins. Spencer is praying we can go back again soon!
Thanks everyone for your presents and hospitality!

So fun! I was hoping you would post pictures soon. I love the spiderman costume. Sounds like him and Scotty would be best friends. It looks like Spencer takes after his Aunt Deon, I am allergic to nuts too. Hope you guys are good and we hope you can come down and visit really soon.
Shoot, he's allergic to nuts and dogs? What kind of life is that? ;o) Just joking. Animals are overrated. Ha ha. Great pictures, I love your family, Sarah!
I get such a kick out of Spencer. He seems to love doing just about everything. That's the kind of person I like being with. Great Christmas pictures. So many memories.
Cute. I guess I need to get on the ball and post my Christmas pictures. :)
I love the French toast! How did you make it?
