Christmas 2013

Christmas is way better with kids.  They seriously do make it magical.  A tradition I had growing up, that my family will keep doing is pajamas on Christmas Eve.

Then comes Christmas morning... Jason and I were so excited for Crew to open his presents.  He was so spoiled.  He probably like the empty boxes more than the actual gifts though. 

On December 26th we went up to my parents house in Aurora to celebrate with some of my family.

The next day was probably the highlight of every one's trip.  We went to my cousin's farm.  Becky and Dusty Ross own a farm in Sigurd and Crew and his cousin Dylan had a blast!

Then they pulled out their tractor so we could take Crew for a ride... better than Disneyland.

Such a fun fun day.  We will go to their farm again next time we are up visiting my family.  That night my Parents gave my boys matching Christmas pajama's that say, "Best Gift Ever".  They really are our best give ever.  We love them to pieces!

Tubes for Crew

Crew has had so many ear infections since he was about 6 months old.  His body doesn't even respond to amoxicillin.  We always have to start off with a stronger antibiotic.  So this fall when he started getting them frequently again we went and talked to an EN&T Doctor in our ward.  We put tubes in his ears on December 20th.  I knew it was a simple, standard procedure, but I was still nervous.  Just being put under anesthesia scared me.  Everything went great, and he seems much happier with no more ear infections.  

These two pics are as we was waking up.  He was such a funny kid.
