4th Week of December, Christmas on

We had a wonderful Christmas.  The boys were super excited to see what Santa brought them.  Thankfully the boys slept in until 7am so we weren't up super early.

Nyles and Carter Christmas morning!

 Opening up gifts from us.

They each got a digger to play in the sand.

 Then some gifts from Santa.

Carter got his owlet he's been asking about and Nyles got some Legos.

Carter got puzzles and Nyles got his Magic 8 ball he's been asking about.

Carter got a Rubble digger and Nyles got a big set of Legos!

Candy and treats in their stockings.

Playing w/ their Playdoh construction sets while I make breakfast.

Steve helping them put together their coloring submarines.

They definitely wanted to play w/ them more than color though, surprise surprise :)

We had crepes for breakfast, then I cooked up a ham for lunch.  It was a big ham so I offered to bring it over to LuDean's to feed everyone.  I made funeral potatoes and rolls as well.  Stacie/Phill, Melanie/Brandon, and Dave/Joann all showed up about that time as us, around 2pm.  We ate lunch and played some games, including the new game from Aunt Diane "Blank Slate."  It was really fun!

Dave keeping score.

Aunt Diane let Carter play a kids game on her IPad while we played the game.

Dave and Joann then came over to our house a little bit later where we exchanged gifts.  They gave us another fun game and an annual pass to the Aquarium again.  Thanks so much!!

Carter playing our new game where you have to draw w/ your nose.

My turn.

Joann's turn.

 

Dave trying.

And Carter one more time.  It was pretty fun!

On Thursday we went over to Fat Cats Bowling.  Nyles got a free game a little while ago, so we've been waiting to go over Christmas break.  Ironically it was super busy, but we got our turn after waiting a bit.  It was a lot of fun and the boys said we should go back again soon!

The boys pretending to play a Ghostbusters game while we waited.

Nyles going first!

Carter's turn.

My turn.

And Steve's turn.

Cute Carter.

Nyles having fun!

We then went through a car wash.  The boys think it SOOO fun!

 Steve helped Nyles make a pirate ship w/ his new Legos.

The boys playing w/ their submarines like bummer cars.

Later playing w/ Lincoln logs and their diggers. 

Steve took the boys to the church to fly a drone our neighbors gave us as well.

Carter gave it a try.

Friday we went to the Aquarium.

Crossing the rope bridge in the Jungle Room.

Being silly sitting on a frog.

Saturday Steve took Nyles and our neighbor Jacob Anderson to go ice fishing.

They went up near Brigham City in Mantua.  They didn't catch anything, but still had a great time.

 

Nyles had a blast had said.  He got to wear his waders.
