Christmas, 2013

Keeping with the theme of the last few months of the year, we had a low-key Christmas. Really though, it was fun and not very stressful at all- I should do this every year! It was Adam's first Christmas and funny enough I got just 1 random picture with him in it all day. Oh well. I did get a picture of him with Santa- I don't have it yet though, so I'll post it later. 

The kids all enjoyed their stockings and toys from Santa. Thomas' favorite was a Lego set- surprise, surprise! Hailey got a CD player this year, along with some CD's I made with her favorite music- I had no idea she'd love the gift SO much! Needless to say, our home has been filled with music lately! Colin got a soccer ball, complete with goals that Adrian made himself. Those will come in handy once we no longer have 3" of snow and ice on the ground. Leah got a new doll, but I think her favorite part of the whole thing was the little candy canes and pieces of candy she got in her stocking. Adrian and I keep finding her with sticky fingers and sure enough, she's managed to find another piece of chocolate to eat! Adam got a tub of rice cereal and a small toy. He was wide eyed while the other kids opened presents and conked out soon afterward. 

Adrian and I exchanged small gifts- the highlights were a couple sweaters he got me (which I will return, but hey, it's the thought that counts!) a pen that plays the BYU fight song, PJ's for Adrian and a BYU business card holder for his desk at work. Each year I get him something else BYU- it's getting to the point where his cubicle looks like a fan store! It's awesome. 

I don't have a lot of pictures to share but it's because I was too busy being in the moment with everyone, as opposed to having them smile at me behind the camera. Sometimes it's nice to not really worry about taking pictures!
