pre Chrismtas fun

Have I mentioned how much I had loud mopeds, motorcycles, or trucks that constantly drive by my house. Don't think I don't have a good reason. It gets so hot in Tuckers room for nap time if you leave the window closed, but if you open it, the engines and sirens wake him up. Never realized before how many excessively noisy vehicles are driving on Kam Hwy. Well, I would rather be at the beach with Richie and Erin and doug right now, but Tucker is a sick sickie again and very cranky today and he really just struggled to get to sleep and then a band of motorcycles comes on by. Anyway. Yeah, sitting here listening to the little guy cry so I distract myself enough to not go in and pick him up because I know he really is tired and needs a nap. I left the door open for some air and it was quiet for a while, i creep up the hall to go check and stare right into his big eyes because he's standing in his crib looking out the door. And then the screaming starts again. The joys.

But anyway...

We had so much fun with Kaity and Danny and Gio and Zeke and Lili. And Jordon. We love when they come to visit. Zekey was so cute with Tucker. He's really nice to him and likes to play with and hold him. It was very cute and fun.
Lili and Tucker are about the same size. Actually, Tuck's arms are definitely bigger than little Lils. They are pretty cute together as well.







His Christmas outfit. Thanks Aunt Julia for the handsome jacket :)



There are a few other shots of him screaming "get me out of this box", but I like this one the best :)




We were supposed to go see Santa at the mall on the way to drop Doug and I off at the airport, but we got sidetracked by the awesome play area they have there, and then Santa was gone.




But we did get a nice group picture anyway :)

We were actually on our way to the airport. Tucker and I had been and still were super sick for a few days before this and I was DREADING getting on the plane to SLC that night since we had 2 lay overs to get there and I could not stop coughing and was completely miserable. We asked the lady at the Delta counter if we could change our flight because we were sick and she said, sure, no problem. When would you like to leave. "Is there any change fee?" No, we have openings all this week. So we left Christmas Eve. Come to find out later that the ticket agent for delta was a Christmas angel because she booked us on the non-stop flight to SLC and gave us 2 free bags. A real Christmas miracle I say. I love delta. But Danny probably doesn't because we made him, with all the hungry kids in the car, turn around and come back and get us. Such a good sport I tell ya.

Doug still had a bum knee from his surgery a week and a half before so he was on camera duty most of the week.

Zeke is fearless in the water. Not sure what exactly doug was saying or thinking here...


And then he got taken down by a big one. Poor kid.




We had so much fun hanging out. Come back again soon.
