(**Warning** A ton of pictures ahead!)
What tells a story better than pictures? And since I am obsessed with taking them you have a plethora to feast your eyes upon! I unknowingly put the pictures on backwards, so we are going to start with Christmas day!
Here is my Mom with little Ms. Claire Claus
We went over to my parents house Christmas day for our gift exchanges, games, dinner, and family fun!Here is Grandma, Claire, and my sister Alissa
Wes and Claire, we took another picture that wasn't blurry but,
Wes's smile was too cute in this one.
Aunty Liss Love's her little niece! Don't you just love her little legs??
I'm not sure what we were talking about. But I am positive we were being nice to each other!LOL
Mommy and baby girl, just after we opened up her gifts from Grandma and Grandpa!
We sure love those books, pj's, and diapers!
I just love this little chick!
(Please pay no attention to the chubby face, I will be working on that! And I don't mean Claire's!)
One of our gifts to Grandma!
What would be Christmas without our Mabes! She is having a blast running through the big houses and backyards. She also loves playing with her new cousins! Except for when they try and sit on her....Katey Kate! haha
Hunter trying out his new contraption. I'm not sure what that is, but he sure is cute!
I absolutely love this picture of Weston!
Uncle Mark enjoying the show!
Luke picked out this flying helicopter gift for Dad. They were both pretty stoked about it!
End of Christmas Morning! She was so pooped from all of the excitement. It was time for a nap.

The Taylor's have a "huge" stocking tradition! I made this one for Claire this year and here is the end result! I turned out better than i expected! The one problem was that it faced the opposite of all the other stockings....owell!! haha
One of Luke's gifts for me. He is so sweet! His big gift he gave me was an Ipod!! Yes we have never officially owned one before!! haha
Luke was dying to get the movie Star Treck! I also got him some new work clothes, and I scrap booked all his high school/college newspaper clippings, awards, and pictures!

I loved spending time with Allison during their week here. Allison and I went shopping, out to eat, went and got pedicures, and searched high and low for an ice-cream place that was open!

We were all so sad when they had to go back home to Utah.
