More pics

Unfortunately we weren't too good at taking
pictures this Christmas with all our family, but
these are a few we did get...

My mom came over on Christmas morning to
open stockings and presents. Grandpa had a
great time wearing Noah's cowboy hat!

It was fun watching all the kids exchange
gifts on Christmas Eve!

Noah & Jax with their cousin Savannah. This is
one of the few pics we have of Noah without his
binki, but he substituted a sucker for it.

Christmas!!!

This Christmas was the best! We had a great time
watching Noah & Jax enjoy every aspect of it! Even
before Noah opened one present, he went over to the
nativity & recognized the baby Jesus- it was the
sweetest thing! This part of the nativity set was a gift
from Ry. We decided to make a Christmas tradition
and add a new piece to it each year.

I think Noah's favorite part of Christmas morning
was that Santa had eaten the milk & cookies he
left out for him.

Jax & Noah fixated on their new portable DVD
player, watching Elmo's world and standing at
their new table that Dad made for them!

Ryan got another tool bag to fit more tools that
he got for Christmas.

Welcome Home James!

This week Ryan's brother, James, returned home from his mission in Zimababwe! We all made shirts that said, "WELCOME HOME ELDER BURT" and wore them to the airport. It was great to see him for the first time in two years! We've had a lot of fun the past few days hearing about all of his experiences. When you hear these stories you're taken back and realize how blessed we really are to have all that we do!
