Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful, busy, tiring, and fun filled Christmas season this year. This is Sawyer's second Christmas and I think he is starting to get the whole present and Santa thing. He is hilarious when he spots a wrapped package. He will look at me with his big brown eyes and ask, "Present, toys for me?" So very sweet!

Just a head's up this is total picture overload!!!

Sawyer exhausted and resting on Sadie. This was taken after the annual Christmas party at my Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Gayle's house. They always throw a fun holiday party and it is the one time a year that we all get around to seeing all the long lost cousins and other family. Unfortunately I was too busy keeping up with Sawyer to get any pictures but we had a blast. Sawyer wasn't much for Santa but he sure liked the present he received!

Our next party was Christmas at my dad and Connie's house in Nephi. They try and make it easy on the parent's so they have Christmas at their house the week prior too the holiday. It's really nice to get together and see all the kids open their gifts. Connie always make a nice dinner and we all get a chance to sit back and relax. All the grand kids were very spoiled by grandma and grandpa this year!

It seemed like the girls all really wanted to play with Sawyer's little people. Thanks for putting it together Brooklyn.

So of course Sawyer wanted to play with Raygan's art supplies.

We were lucky to have uncle Dom Dom or My Domey as Sawyer calls him come home a few days before Christmas. These two are best buds.

Sawyer and his daddy giving a few loves!

We have really been missing Dominic while he has been working in Montana and when he gets home Sawyer can't get enough of him!

Christmas Eve we were invited to an open house at Uncle Mario's and Aunt Amie's house. We had a surprise visitor that evening. Sawyer was still not too sure about the big guy in red.

It seemed like not to many kids were willing to sit on this guys lap.

I can't say that I blame them either. "Come sit on my lap and tell me what you want and I will give you some candy." Where have I heard that one before?

Mario and Jack showed how brave they were and snuggled up close.

After the visit from Santa we were off to Brandon and Sierra's house for dinner. They put together a delicious meal of ham and baked potatoes and wonderful assortment of salads. Unfortunately by this point I was exhausted and didn't get anymore pictures. I am sorry guys! Thanks for the great dinner.

I also didn't get a picture of Sawyer or anyone else in their Christmas jammies. I am slacking hard core this year! On to Christmas morning.....

Sawyer was so thrilled Christmas morning when he walked into the living room to see all the wonderful gifts from Santa. Mom and lil D came over later to watch Sawyer open his gifts and have Christmas brunch with us.

Boys and guns. I swear it is genetic!

We then had a nap and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Salazar's house. Josh's children, Sophie, Sienna, and Jesse were in town for a few days and all the kids got to open their gifts together.

Jack and Amie.

Sawyer and Dominic putting together his tool bench from Uncle Nate. We also got to meet Nate's girlfriend Melanie for the first time. She is a wonderfully sweet and kind woman and we are so happy for Nathan. Once again I am slacking, I didn't get a picture of them together.

Sawyer on his new bike from Grandma and Grandpa Salazar.

Very old school, pimped out Schwinn! Very Cool!

We then headed over to Grandma Blaser's house. Once again we were running late so we hardly got to see Brandon and Sierra and of course no pictures of them.

Uncle D and Sawyer just hanging out.

Lil D, Grandma and Sawyer opening presents.

Dominick and Kellie.

Uncle Domey and Sawyer horsing around.

Oh no, a tickle fight!

Note to self....

Learn how to use the timer on my camera, and maybe I should think about taking a few more posed shot. Should also make a checklist for each event and get pictures of all family involved. Hey, that can be my New Year's Resolution!

One other little note, I have been working on this post for three stupid weeks! At this point Blogger is not my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
