Jonny's first Christmas

Christmas was great this year.  This was Todd and My third Christmas together but the first with our munchkin!  He didn't so much get what was going on but he did enjoy the Christmas decorations.  He ended up destroying all the snowflakes in reach... But that was to be expected I guess, right?

    
I am so sad this picture is blurry. These boys are my favorite!
It is tradition for Santa to come to the Hales Family Christmas Party, Jonny didn't quite know what to think of this Santa.  (Which is so sad because for the santa at the mall he said "ho, ho, ho" it was adorable and one of the only times he said it for anyone but me.
We spent Christmas up in Oakley this year. It was Jason's last Christmas before his mission and the whole family was there.  Look how adorable these kids are 
Jonny was a shepherd, and was more interested in the fireplace than he was in being part of the nativity scene. But what can you really expect from an almost one year old (my baby turns one in a week!) 
 this is our baby opening his stocking on Christmas morning. He was most excited about the food! Once again, could I expect anything different from an almost one year old?  He LOVES food!
Christmas Day we played outside.



This was Jonny's first time playing in the snow.  He um didn't quite know what to make of it.  I don't know if he even cracked a smile... Until we were back inside, then he smiled :)
Not pictured is the enormous snow cave Todd, Jason, Trevor and Peter built. It was HUGE.  I could stand up in the thing.   Unfortunately they did not get a chance to sleep in it because the 26th, Peter had to get stitches from getting too fancy on his ice skates.
I'm excited for next year when he can really get into it. We are going to get a tree and have christmas at our house next year!  It will be magical!
