Gram and Grandpa scored again on 12 days of Christmas with this huge sticker book! Not only are they stickers.........they are animal, dino, space rangers, dragons,and bugs!
We are all a little homesick (well maybe I am the only one) but all of us are for sure "snowsick" if that even makes sense. We are having a hard time with this 80 degree weather around Christmas business. We were planning on heading to Sea World but those plans got foiled by a flat tire....so we decided to have a "snow day"! First stop was Wendy's for some Frosties!
They we went sledding or "sliding"!
(Random picture of Shaef pretending to be a space ranger!)
Then back home for some Rice Krispy Snowmen.
And finishing it off with a cotton ball masterpiece! It was a pretty fun day!
Shaef also got to open these Toy Story Dominos for the 12 day's of Christmas from Gram and Grandpa Tom. He got them all out of the box and lined them up in this nice little line....even before we taught him how to play! He is getting pretty good now!
Another pre-Christmas activity was making jingle bell bracelets! Shaef was really good at threading the bells onto the pipe cleaners himself!
And of course anything that makes noise is a favorite!
I didn't get any pictures of Christmas morning because I was using my new video camera all morning documenting the excitement from my two boys! We had so much fun watching our little man open all his gifts and say "Thank you so much mom!" Now he is constantly asking me "Who gave me this?" and then responding "Oh Thank You ______(fill in the name)!" He is one Thankful little boy....which is great considering how spoiled he is! Santa delivered a surprise gift to us on Saturday in the form of a old (but new for me) piano!!!! Our friends were getting a new electric piano for Christmas and passed on their old, craigslist purchased, piano....for free!!! We are so blessed to be the recipients of such an amazing gift!!
We spent the morning opening presents and going to church where Anson sang beautifully in the choir. Then our friends the Bells came and spent the day with us eating tonz of yummy food, playing games, doing puzzles and keeping us company. We sure love them!
Shaef fell asleep watching a movie at the end of the day (there was no time for a nap...he was too busy playing all day).
Now our days are going to be spent playing will all of our new toys, wearing our new clothes, and recuperating from all of the celebrations! Shaef did indeed get "Chuggington" toys from Santa and Gram and Grandpa Tom.....I think they talk.......but he is loving them for sure!

It sounds like you guys had a great Christmas. You are such a cute mom with all of your fun Christmas activities.
I love your Snow Day idea. I bet Shaef loved it! Jonah could probably use one of those. He told me the other day that it wasn't Christmas yet, b/c there was no snow outside. Looks like we need to take a trip up to the mountains. :) Hope you guys are doing great! We miss you!
We didn't have any snow here in Provo either! Thankfully we were up in Wyoming for the big day so we had some of the white stuff. Looks like things are going well for you. Miss ya!!!
