Christmas in Boise!

My dad holding CrewThis is what Crew slept in at my parents house I don't think he will fit into it next time we go.

My mom made us all these darling aprons! That is my mom, me, Harmony, Erika, Karrie, and Rachel. ( Harmony made us darling aprons too that you just put on at the waist out of some of my grandmas old pillow cases but I forgot to take a picture of them.)

My Brother with his white elefant! He used to to this with that blanket when we were kids growing up so for his white elefant I made him a diaramah of his old bed room and put that ken doll in it, it was hilarious!

Mike and Harmony

We always go to Boise Every year the weekend before Christmas and my mom does her adult dinner party on Fridat night, the grandparents party for the kids on Saturday and my grandma does a party on Saturday night. It is so much fun and I look forward to it every year! Pictures of Christmas in Utah yet to come!

Crew on his original due date December 15

I can't believe my little Crew has been here already for a month! He probably would have been this big or bigger if I had gone full term. Boy am I glad I didn't, I don't think my body could have handled it. He is just the best baby and we are so glad he is a part of our family!

Crew 1 month old

These pictures aren't great because I don't have any batteries for my camera so I took these with my phone because I really wanted to get Crew on the day he turned one month old so maybe I will add a few more later when I can get some better ones. And the computer is not turning the pictures the right way. Anyway, I can't believe Crew is one month old already! He just went in for a check up and he already weighs 8.3 and is 21 inches long! I can't believe he has gained 2 pounds and 2 inches. So you can tell he loves to eat! He is just the best little baby! He is sleeping for 3 hours at a time at night and is just the happiest little thing! Layne is finally starting to adjust which has mades things a lot nicer at our house! We are just getting ready for Christmas and we are enjoying our 2 little boys! Everyone is healthy and we are so excited for the Holidays!

Decorating the Christmas tree!

Layne with his new Bumble Bee Transformer ornament. Every year we get him a new ornament, he loves it!The tree all done!


This is my nativity. My aunt painted this for my mom a long time ago and I just loved it as a little girl, so my mom gave it to me, it has seen better days but I can't get rid of it.


I love thse trees! I got them a few years ago at Casey's work party they were the center pieces on the tables and they gave them away.

This is my Christmas banner, I love it! I made it at my sisters super saturday a few years ago, everyone should have one of these!

My Christmas village

Well these are just some of our christmas decorations. I love decorating for christmas! I love the lights and the smells and the feeling that is in the air! Love it! I kept trying to put a video on here of Layne putting his ornament on the tree but it wouldn't let me so I will try again later. Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday season!
