Merry Christmas!

This was a very memorable and wonderful Christmas for us and we hope it was for you all too. Here are some of our highlights.

Christmas Eve this year was at Kev's grandparents, and yes what you are seeing is one of the highlights. Everyone enjoys a festive enchilada with your choice of egg or no egg. Delicious!

Here are the boys in their new pajamas, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Shaw. Ty loves his! If you can't tell, they have tigers on them and now each morning he fights and cries about taking them off. He would wear them all day, everyday, if we would let him.

Here is the whole Naylor clan listening to the traditional, "Pixie in the Chimney" read by Grandma Naylor. Even Kev's brother on his mission asked for a tape of her reading this, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it.

Christmas morning at the Shaw home isn't Christmas morning without orange rolls and Toaster Strudels.
You would think this was Kev showing Ty how to use one of Ty's presents, but it isn't. Kev gets a Nerf gun every year, this is the one thing that makes it Christmas for him. I think Ty will like this tradition.

Jordan had a great Christmas too. Here he is with his blanket from Grandma Shaw. (Ty got one too.)
This was the fun we had at my parents. My dad gave my mom a lazy boy and the box was a hit. It is still being used more than anything else. We will finish Christmas with my family Friday night when they all get here, so there will be a follow up post about that.

We had a perfect Christmas this year. Ty was the perfect age and Jordo is all smiles. It was great to spend the day with family and have Kev home from work for a couple extra days! Now we can all relax a little a start planning for next year. Happy Holidays!

Four Spectacular Years!

Four years ago, today, I married my high school sweetheart, best friend and love of my life. It is amazing to think it has already been four years. We have done so much, come so far and every day has been amazing. We now have two beautiful little boys who add so much to the perfect life we have together. I know in no time it will be another four and who knows where we will be and what we will be doing then! But I do know that it will only get better.

Thanks to my wonderful husband. I love you more each day. Everday I am thankful we were married and sealed in the temple, knowing that we will not only be together for the rest of our lives, but for all eternity.

The First Snowman

On Saturday when we had a really good snow fall, Ty woke up very excited. So I decided to get over my hate for the cold and take him outside. I started bundling him up and preparing and when he was all ready, so was Kev. I told him he didn't have to, I would go, but he said he would. So they were off and they started building.
Ty helped a little, but mostly he was walking around saying, "Mom, I play in the snow! Dad, I play in the snow!" I should have kept track of how many times he said it. It was so fun watching him take it all in.
Then they were done! We had an accident with the oreo before it could get put in as an eye. Ty was so proud. When it was time to come in, he was NOT ready. I told Kev thanks for doing that, and he said, "Are you kidding? That was the first snowman with my son." He is such a great dad. Ty faithfully checked up on his snowman out the window and anytime we went anywhere or came home. Then Monday after his nap, I heard a yell, "Oh No! My snowman" So I went to see what had happened....

There he was. Ty wasn't sure what happened to his new friend. After a few minutes of talking about it, he felt better, only with the promise that when it snowed again, we could build a new one. Ty might be the only reason I like the snow this year.
