Happy New Year!

This year I had to work New Year's Eve and New Year's Day for the day shift. So we didn't do much but after work on New Year's Eve we went out to eat at El Mexicano with Craig and Jacie. I didn't even think to take a picture though. And then we went home and Bryce, Stockton, and I counted down the New Year and I went straight to bed since I had to work the next morning.

I did get a cute picture Karalee though! Happy New Year!

Christmas Day

This was our Christmas card this year.

Santa came! And it was even a white Christmas! I love when we have snow for Christmas.

Stockton did pretty good to open his presents. 

But after the first few he was to distracted to want to open any more.

My Grandma Losee spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with us.

We got to skype with Breanna which was fun! I miss her so much. She is doing great on her mission! She is always positive and it was fun to hear stories. Of course she had to pull some faces when I told her to smile for a picture.

Karalee and Andrew came up on the 26th and Stockton had fun playing with cousins.

We had Karalee for Christmas this year and I got the girls this fort building kit and had to try it out!

Stockton got spoiled with all of his Christmas presents.

Kaylee got this game called Pie Face for Christmas. We had already already left so we didn't get to play the game but Karalee sent me some pretty funny pictures of when they played. They were too funny not to share! My dad hates playing games so I was really surprised that he played!

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my family this year. It was kinda weird because we didn't do a party with the Lovell's or Losee's on Christmas Eve like we used to. I guess my family is getting too big and everyone is just doing their own thing. We had dinner and then played a couple of games. I made a candy ball  using saran wrap, tape, string, and wrapping paper with candy throughout the ball. If you rolled doubles then you get to try and unwrap the ball. the present in the middle was a candle and Josh ended up getting it. We all got plenty of candy along the way. Then I also put together a naughty/nice game. I made a board with cups on and you would throw a ball into the cups and half of the cups were naughty and half were nice. Whoever ended up getting the most nice cups won. Inside each cup was things that we had done that were naughty or nice when we were little so it was fun!  

We read the nativity and me, Bryce, and Stockton were Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.

We all drew names for Christmas Eve and Josh gave Stockton diapers.

Jason had my name and possibly gave me the best gift ever. We all laughed so hard we cried! So years ago when Kaylee was little she used to call me Fristy because she couldn't say my name. We were camping and she had just gotten herself a cup of water from the water cooler. Then I went to get myself a drink and I pulled out some soda from the cooler and she wanted that instead so she turned to me and said "Hey Fristy, I got you some water" We laughed and laughed because clever little Kaylee didn't just say that she wanted soda too but she was going for the trade. So for Christmas Eve we just do cheap gifts and Jason thought to get me some water! 

I had Jason and got him a water proof case for phones or valuables. I thought it was a good case to hike the narrows or other water hikes. I also got this as a white elephant gift last year and thought it would be funny to give to Jason. I figured he would figure out a way to put it to good use. That night we put it on the Sanders french doors so that when they woke up they would find this Christmas morning. So we did fine a good use for it.

Cute Christmas pajamas.

Jensen Christmas Party

Usually the Christmas party is on Christmas Eve. This year they planned it for the 23rd so that more people could be there which turned out for us so that we could come. Bryce's cousin Gloria drove out from Maryland for Christmas. We had dinner, played a few Christmas games, did white elephant gifts, and of course had to play a little white lightning. It was such a fun party!

1st Haircut

We finally cut Stockton's hair for the 1st time. He was pretty wiggly but we did it! 

And now he looks so cute!

Santa

We took Stockton to see Santa at the Monroe City Park. 

He wasn't sure what to think but he didn't cry!

Our ward also had a Christmas party and Santa came but Stockton did not like him at all this time!

Cute Pictures

Playing in the hamper

I love cute Christmas shirts

Lounging in the grocery cart!

Stockton started unwrapping one of his presents so I just let him practice finish unwrapping it and re wrapped it again. Hopefully he will be pro by the time Christmas rolls around.

One of the members from Jason's mission made him this beanie! When Stockton was little he was scared of Jason but if he put this on then he would go to him and just play with the beard. Haha now he gets scared of the beanie though.

Decorating graves for Christmas.

Stockton is definitely a belly sleeper.
