MERRY CHRISTMAS! This year was especially fun with Tommy being old enough to participate! (...and not being in pain from delivery & nursing 24/7!)
We saw LOTS of Vic's family for Christmas. We did Christmas Eve at Vic's brother's house. We had the elf deliver our Christmas pajamas there this year. Here is Tommy cute as ever in his new jammies :)
Here is a little glimpse of how crammed & crazy it is with the Sutherlands. I always feel like I'm stepping on someone the entire time I'm there! This is 1/2 the kids dressed up to act out the nativity scene while his brother reads it from the scriptures.
Here is Christmas Morning. Tommy checking out his stocking. He instantly grapped the big toy sticking out, but it took some more coaching for him to check out the rest! I thought he'd be pretty excited I gave him a sucker cuz he loves them & I never let him have them, but Vic's stalking had oranges & peanuts in it & he went crazy over them! He grabbed an orange & ate right through the peel then did the same with a peanut!
My cute boys dressed up for PRESENT TIME!
Tommy has a unique way to open his gifts. I'll walk you through theSTEPS TO OPEN A PRESENT:
1. Jump & Climb all over it
1. Jump & Climb all over it
2. Tear off the smallest pieces, peek inside, & try to play with it before all the wrapping is off! ...and then continue pulling off pieces little by little.
3- CRY because you are so impatient that Dad can't get the toy unattached from the box fast enough. (make sure to cry with EVERY gift for the same reason!)
4- DIVE into boxes no matter what there size is (even if your face is the only thing that fits!)
5-EAT the packaging
6- Make a MESS of yourself
7- Find the garbage & try to make a mess.
and finally... PLAY with new toys!!! :)
And here is our happy little camper with most of his presents. He is CONSTANTLY moving these days so its hard to get a picture that he isn't in action!
...and then we went over to Vic's parents house for lunch and played games that made us laugh the ENTIRE day/evening!

I hope that all who read this had just as MERRY of a Christmas too!
We love all of you faithful readers and grateful for your friendship & comments. We've had a fun year sharing all our pictures and stories with you :)

Your photos are super cute. Little Tommy-Santa eating the packing peanuts cracks me up! Ha ha! I'm glad you had a great Christmas. We haven't unpacked our computer yet, but we were at my Mom and Dad's so we were using her photos, camera, and computer. But hopefully soon! We are in the process of tearing out the old and re-doing the electrical in the house and then installing the new stuff. I'll have to post some pictures of that soon
Kara and i quite enjoyed the gift opening process. what a silly boy! looks like you guys had a pretty fun Christmas. Don't kids make everything more fun?
