Our Christmas Celebrations

We went to Colorado to spend the holiday with our Easton family. Before we left, we opened the presents we had from our Crapo family. Here are some pictures from our Christmas celebrations. Be warned, there are a lot of pictures of Dallin opening presents. Since this was his first Christmas, we wanted to make sure it was well documented.
Dallin liked ripping open the presents. He really likes paper, and he really enjoys putting it in his mouth.
He's still a little too young to understand what Christmas is, so he generally got more excited about the paper than the present inside the wrapping.
But he did like this book (thanks to Neil and Ashley!).

And he liked how this hat made his head warm.

And since things are always cuter in action, here is Dallin opening a present.
We made it to Denver on a pretty uneventful drive. The roads were nice and clear and the weather was good. We left early in the morning and made good time, so we got there in time for lunch.

Our Christmas morning was relaxed. We ate a huge breakfast of waffles, omelets, bacon, hash browns, and cinnamon rolls. Then we opened our presents!
Mckay got me some delicious smelling hand soap and a season of Monk. It seemed like an appropriate pairing.

I got Mckay this workout bar so he can do pull-ups at home and get ripped like the guy on the box.
Dallin ate more wrapping and decorating paraphernalia.

And he got a six pack!!!
of socks.

In all, we got a bunch of movies, books, clothes and games. We also celebrated my birthday (which is coming up in a few days...) while we were there and I got more movies and 8 Dr. Seuss books. We had a lot of fun with family. Dallin loved being held by his grandparents and watching his cousins run around. We had a peaceful and relaxing 2 weeks. I'll post more later about the fun things we did.

I'm glad he liked the book. And man, did he want to eat that paper!

Cute. I'm glad you guys had fun. Hopefully next year the babies will be better at opening their presents.

I love how he couldn't figure out why you kept taking paper out of his mouth just to give him more paper. "C'mon mom, this new stuff is nice and all, but I'd already softened that old stuff up."

I love the fur hat photo.

I love Mckay's face with that Iron Gym thing. He's like, "Yeah, right."
