Here are a few pictures from our Christmas. It was the first year we didn't travel and found that starting new tradtions as a family is really fun. We also enjoyed that Nick's family is close by and got to have them all over to watch a very exciting BYU football Bowl game. We also saw them for Sunday dinner, fishing, Christmas Day, and shooting the guns the day after Christmas. Thanks Olivers, Jones family and Mark and Melissa for helping to make our holiday so fun!

This year we took the boys on the "Santa Train" so the boys could talk to Santa. The boys had a really good time and Nick and I both agreed it beat the line at the mall.

Christmas morning (notice it's still dark outside). Santa brought Spencer these fun Home Depot work benches. Santa was so tricky this year, he was able to convert our train table into a Lego table for Carson along with some new Star Wars Legos. Really the table was as much a gift for me as it was for Carson. I couldn't take stepping on them or having to nag Carson about cleaning them up any longer. Thanks Santa!
