December 2015 and our first Boise Christmas

These little girlies love their baby brother.  I frequently find them in bed cuddling him.  Sometimes he needs rescuing from all his attention.

This was our first year getting a real Christmas tree.  We picked it out from the tree lot in Eagle during a muddy storm.  It has been so fun decorating it.  But I think I'm allergic to real trees so I think we'll go back to the artificial ones.

I love all these cute little Christmas photos.  I'm happy I got the chance to take a few Baby's First Christmas pics of the little babe.

Tommy is growing so fast.  He's happy and cooperative, except at night.  He wakes up 3-4 times a night and its killing my nerves.  I'll have to let him cry through it at some point but for now I'll be a softy.  I just love this baby of mine.

He loves his Jumparoo.  He's happy in there.  So happy that he often falls asleep while jumping.  haha.
Image
Sophie has so much energy and she loves to play.  She asked me to take pictures of her jumping on the bed.  She was too fast for me to really get a good shot but she loves these photos and talks about them often.

Here are a few photos from Christmas morning.  Bright and early.  I think they were happy with all the toys and candy Santa brought for them.

Devin's family came up to watch the kids look at their stockings and to have a Christmas breakfast.

Whitney made cute little teddy bears for the kids.

Here is the letter to Santa Eva typed out in computer class.  I'm pretty sure the drawing is an Elf on the Shelf.  The girls are kind of obsessed with them.  We don't have one b/c they would freak out.  They are terrified that one will sneak into our house and cause trouble.

Our church put on a nativity at the Whiting's farm.  Tommy was baby Jesus and the girls were villagers in Bethlehem.  It was a snowy, slushy night but so many people came out and it was a beautiful event.

Eva continues to work hard in her piano lessons with Grandma Joanie.  Here she is at their Christmas recital. 
Image
We had a couple snow storms and went tubing in the neighborhood. 
Image
We went up to Varr's cabin in Donnelly for a few days over New Year's.  I took Eva skiing at Tamarak while everyone watched the Clemson game.

Image
We went caroling with a gigantic group of neighbors around the Merc.

Photos from the day Clemson played for the National Championship.  Devin went to the game in Phoenix with the Teems.

This is a painting of our family that Eva did.  I love it and hope to get it framed soon.  I like how Eva sees me.  I'm a real hottie in her eyes!
