Christmas Holidays

Welcome to 2008! That is sure weird to say. I was reading on my cousins blog, and she mentioned something about Y2K being 8 YEARS AGO! Man, that is weird, because I remember gearing all up for everything electronic to just BLOW up right in my face at 12:00 on New Years that year....what a bogus thing. Funny what people come up with! Anyways, we had a WONDERFUL Christmas holiday in Utah. We were there for 2 whole weeks, and MAN did both of my boys hit growth spurts! Seriously, now Lincoln can grab just about anything off of the counter that he wants, which isn't the best for me, but what can you do! Payton is doing SO many fun things. He is starting to smile, which of course melts his parents hearts, and he is cooing lots too! IT is so much fun! Things that he isn't doing; sleeping at all longer at night. He is a 3-4 hour kind of a dude, but that is alright with me. We had lots of fun in Utah, and mostly because it SNOWED SO MUCH! It was so fun to have a white Christmas. IT even snowed about 8 inches at my parents house on Christmas Eve! Talk about sweet! Anyways, here are some of the pictures taken over Christmas. Enjoy!
This is one of my favorites...what a cute little dude!!!
This is Paytons mad face! He is still SO cute!
This is Lincoln and his cousin Drew doing what they did the whole vacation...FIGHTING over their toys! Oh boy, I hope this isn't a view of things to come!
We had a chocolate fountain party with my mom and all her sisters and their girls...I needed to see my cousins that I haven't seen for a while! This one is of all the "big moms" that were there and their babies!
This is one of all the "Little Moms" that were there and their babies!
Courtney enjoying the chocolate fountain. Here's all the available babies lined up according to age-except Lincoln of course! These are all of the babies of my cousins that were born in the last year or so. I think there are still 4 maybe 5 babies missing in this picture! That's alot of babies...SO FUN!!
Here's the GORGEOUS quilt that my mother made for Payton! Maxine (Cole's mom) made one for him too, but I still have yet to take a picture of it! I am a slacker!
HEre's the fam looking at the lights at temple square. It was FREEZING that night, but the kids had a blast!
Ownin' up on the gingerbread houses!
The ONLY decent shot we got of all the grandkids on Christmas eve in their new Jammies!
Here's lincolns new Post at our house! This is where we can ALWAYS find him! His new train table!
We went to the zoo lights here in Denver, and it was SO much fun! We will definitely do it again!

Your boys are such cuties!! I love Payton's mad face. Lincoln looks like a good big brother holding Payton for pics. And you're looking sooo good! Glad to hear your holidays went well!

Wow Payton is so cute and chubby! I made my mom check out your blog so she could see how cute he is. Now that we are both settled back into our regualr routines lets go to the museum with the boys. Let me know what works. Two kids is a little more complicated than one!!

You look like you had a ton of fun over Christmas! That quilt is amazing, by the way. Payton is such a doll too. I love the mad face.
