So I hope you all had a very merry Christmas. We did. On Christmas Eve evening we went to our annual Braegger family Christmas party. It was a lot of fun, but boy does Dallin make me tired. He had a rough night. Before we left for the party, Dallin fell and split his lip open. Then, at the party, he fell off the small stage they had there and gave himself a big bump. Then he was tackled twice by Dax. Who knows why? And all that running around, his belley must have been upset because he spit up or threw up twice. (what's the difference? He is 13 months old and it smelled like throw up to me, but it wasn't much. More like the amount an infant spits up.)
Dallin did get some fun gifts from Great Grandma Braegger. Kathi, my mother-in-law, made that shirt that Dallin is wearing. Russ wore it when he was little.
And this is what happens when Dallin doesn't get his way. I know you all think I have such a sweet baby, but he's not always that way. Now you see the truth.
And this is the daycare training taking over. This is where Dallin is not happy with his own toy, so he takes Easton's toy instead. Good thing for Dallin that Easton was more interested in running around.
Just a picture of Christmas gifts.
We waited for dallin to wake up on his own, but he still looks so tired. I think he was confused. We spent all holiday season telling him not to open the wrapped gifts, but on Christmas mpring we want him to. It took some persuading to get him to do it. And as you can see from thr picture, once he opened one, he wouldn't put it down to open another.
Christmas day we went to my parents. We opened gifts and went to a movie, Marley and Me. I couldn't bealieve how good Dallin was. We are never brave enough to take him to a movie, but he slept the first half hour and the rest of the time he just sat on my lap with his sippy cup and cereal. Don't think I'm crazy enough to try this on a regular basis. That night we got to talk to Candace and Lewis. That was fun. It was good weather most of the day, but by the time we were done talking to Lewis, it was storming. It was snowing so bad, Russ didn't want to drive in it. So we spent the night at my parents. For those of you who know Russ well, you know he does not like to sleep anywhere but hisown bed, so that tells you how hard it was snowing. Thanks for your bed Dan!
The day after Christmas we spent most of the day playing The Settlers of Catan. It was way fun!!! We played 4 or 5 times. Ashley, you are in for some fun gaming next time you guys make it down.
The hard part about playing games was keeping Dallin ocuppied. He was the best when he got a cinnimon sucker from See's Candies. He loved it, as you can see. And it got everywhere.
Well, I'm off the navigate the snow packed roads. We are heading to Coalville today. I'm sure I'll be boring you will more pictures tomorrow. Happy New Year!
We went to Coalville and went snowmobiling. I don't think I need to say anymore about how Dallin did. I'm lucky he forgave us for doing such horrible things to him.
Luckily, Grandma Kathi stayed home, so we were able to take Dallin back there. Here he is recovering in the car on the way to Grandma Kathi's house. He looks like he thinks he has been betrayed by his parents.
This is just a random picture of him all ready to go outside. He really does like playing in the snow, just not on loud machines that go fast and make him cold.
