Christmas Morning

I loved Christmas this year! It is so much more fun when you have kids, and to see how excited they are about all the things that they got. Jake and I had a lot of fun playing "Santa" this year. Christmas Eve, after Tean was in bed, we got out what Santa was giving to him and put it all together. Jake decided to get some play time in before Tean. Jake and I both slept horrible. It was like we were kids again, too excited for Santa to come to sleep. So, we got up early and made cinnamon rolls, because I remember having them most Christmas mornings growing up. At 9:15 Tean woke up, so we got him up and brought him in to see what Santa brought. I think he was a little shocked about all the toys. He was so excited about all the things that he got. He really loved the train and the truck, but his favorite toy of all? Balloons! Marta even enjoyed everything Santa brought her, but she woke up feeling sick, so that wasn't a whole lot of fun. After we opened up all the presents, we Skyped with my parents and they got to see everything that Tean got. After that, we went up to Jake's parent's house, got more presents (thanks!), and just hung out there for the rest of the day. Tean was in heaven with all the cars and the trains! We hope that everyone else had a wonderful Christmas!

Tean Dancing

I put some music on one day to listen to, and Tean was dancing in the living room while I was in the kitchen, so I just had to video it.

Decorating the Tree

The day after we cut down the tree, we decorated it. Since then, Tean has knocked it down once, and redecorated it many times. Marta and Lhin enjoyed decorating a tree for the first time. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Cutting Down A Christmas Tree

After Thanksgiving, we went out in the forest and cut down our Christmas tree. When we got to where we were going to cut down our tree, we saw 3 deer. They stayed there for a long time and then when I finally decided to take a picture, they ran off, so if you look close, you can see the deer. Marta and Lhin came with us to find the perfect tree. We finally found the perfect tree, Jake cut it down and we took it home to decorate.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving, we went down to Utah and spent it with my family. We had lots of fun playing games, visiting and eating great food. While we were getting the food ready, Tean found this shelf, perfect for him to sit in and play with his cars. Jake and Rett getting the food ready to eat. All the food and everyone enjoying the food! Marta and Lhin's first Thanksgiving in the U.S. Tean loved the baby. When my sister was holding her, Tean kept following her around so he could see the baby. After Thanksgiving with my family, we went down to Provo to see Jake's family. On the way down Tean fell asleep and when he woke up he had this awesome hairdo.

Rocking Horse

Last Christmas, we got Tean a rocking horse. A couple of months ago, he finally started to really like to ride it. He'll even say, "Ye Haw!" Isn't that the cutest little boy ever?
