Christmas in Driggs

Jake "helping" Santa on Christmas Eve

On Christmas morning, the boys have to wait while we as parents torture them...ahem...I mean until the parents are ready before they can go see the presents. Then they have to pose for a picture in the hallway.

They usually get pretty lovey after a picture or two. Our kids will generally do anything we ask when have a tree full of presents waiting. "Okay boys. In the next picture I need you to..." ...or maybe not, but the endless list of possibilities is an entertaining thought....

 The gift of all gifts if you are a 9 or 11 year old boy. Yeah, the boys weren't that excited about them.

This is pretty much is a typical morning at our house

until someone gets hurt

Lander loses a tooth

Lander tried & tried to pull his loose tooth. It was literally dangling by a thread, but he just couldn't do it. So he asked for a daddy intervention. Don't worry, the intervention looks worse than it was.

See those big tears. So sad!

 Luckily, the tears didn't last.

Quote of the Day

"I work for Pringles."

Really? Wow. If we'd have only known that 11 years ago!
