Christmas Day

Christmas Day was Magical at the Baldwins! Lindy makes Christmas so fun even as a adult you still get excited! We were totally spoiled and got WAY to many presents but THANKS to everyone for everything we got we LOVE IT!!

I LOVED Lindy's Christmas tree it was so cute she did such a good job with it! This is a pictures of MOST of the presents not ALL only MOST! The kids have such a great time with all their presents Braxton was in HEAVEN!

Okay this is not the best picture the kid just woke up and has not got to open anything yet! I had a hard time getting a actually picture because the kid would not hold still! But he was really excited!

Christmas EVE and we are all in our NEW PJ's! We always have had the tradition that you get pj on Christmas eve, but I like the Baldwin spin on where the Christmas Elf brings the PJs. It also made it really fun because Steven, Elsha & their kiddo's all stayed at The Baldwin's too. So we had a full house and it was GREAT!!

The Cute Boys

Corbin exploring the Goods!! Yes that is all our stuff my family only, we had to fit all that into our suitcases it was a challenge but we borrowed another suitcase and we made it work.

Lindy always makes Christmas Breakfast and the Grandparents come over and enjoy the Breakfast Also!

The Chaos after opening presents!

Random Pics from the Utah Trip

We were able to do so many fun things and have such a great time visiting that it is hard to blog about it all but here is some of the random things that kept us occupied.

These guys were having fun getting pulled around in a big box by Uncle Steve, give them a little attention and they are happy campers!

I just love Chole's outfit on Christmas eve I had to take a picture, the tights are my favorite!

Corbin LOVES to steal food from EVERYONE, so it was no surprise that when Brain wanted to eat his cereal so did Corbin!

Braxton, Uncle Brian and Jessica pulling people behind the four wheeler

Kirk was really nice and took us up for a day of skiing at Snow Basin. I love skiing and I don't get to go very much now (once a year if I am lucky) so it was really nice of him to take us. This is kirks hair on the way home after wearing a hat all day!

Taking a break at the lodge for a snack, Brian getting all ready to go out in the cold.

Kevin is not the biggest fan of skiing and I tried to convince him to go snowboarding again because he does better with that but he did not want to fall down that much. I really am NOT good at snowboarding and I don't think that I will every try it again!

See the excitement I LOVE SKIING!! Plus it was a nice day with no kiddos thanks Grandma for watching them!

This is me at the end of the day!! You use muscles skiing that you did not you have. I know you are all jealous of my amazing hair just add a bit of snow and beanie and you could have it too.

Temple Lights

We had the opportunity to go to Salt Lake see Ambers Graduation then we went out to dinner at Applebees. We then went to Temple square to enjoy the the Christmas lights. We had a lot of fun spending time with family.

By the end of the night Corbin was getting SOO tired and all he wanted to do was play in the fountains! This kid loves water obviously he does not care that it is freezing outside he wanted to get in and play in the water. He was throwing a fit about it and he is a pretty good baby most of the time. He was fighting Kevin and me so bad he was trying to get out of our arms and wiggle down and just crying. Finally I was like okay we are done and we left a little eariler because the poor kid was trashed.

We went down to Salt Lake for Ambers Graduation from the College of Massage Therapy I was glad we could go support her when she graduated. Congrats Amber on all your hard work thats AWESOME!!

Fun Activities in Utah

The boys love trains so when we went out to Utah

Grandma wanted to take them on the train in Newgate mall and we went on the Front runner a couple of times.

Corbin and Braxton both were really excited about the train, they both wanted to go again but we only let them go once! Geese I am so mean!

These boys just adore their Grandma she gets them laughing at about anything. I think she was telling them to watch out because Spiderman was attacking the train. They both were just laughing!

We all rode the train down to Salt Lake and went and ate lunch at the Gateway then headed back home it was a fun little ride.

This is Kevin brother Brian and he is 18 yrs old, he was so good about hanging out with the family while we were out there. He did a lot with us which was really fun his comment to his dad was "Geese we do more when Kevin and Amanda are out here then we do all year". Thanks Kirk and Lindy for taking us out a lot while we were out there.

Christams in OHIO

We had Christmas a little early in Ohio because we did not want to be taking any extra stuff with us to Utah. The boys loved it Braxton's presents from us included space books, a space station, light up sword, Clothes that he really needed and and a Dr. set we tried not to get them to much because we knew they would be spoiled in Utah.

Braxton Loved all of his presents and was so Excited!! It is so fun to have little kids at Christmas because they get so into it!

Corbin got some old toys of Braxton's that we got out of the loft like the zebra and some shake cars, we did get him some cars, balls and some clothes. The nice thing is he really does not care I love this happy little guy!

Kevin got some new clothes, weight set, and some games for our WII, I got my I-pod touch as a early Christmas present and I love it! I also got some clothes that Braxton picked out for me and I have to say he did a pretty good job! It was a Great Christmas and is was just the beginning our Festivities!

Franklin Park Conservatory

So I know I have been a total blog slacker and know I am trying to catch up! We were able to go to the Franklin Park Conservatory with our good friends the Richards before we left to Utah.

This is a ceiling they have in a walk way made out of this decorative glass I thought it was AMAZING!

The Richards & Kevin with the boys.

Corbin and me

The kids loved looking at the fish and those big balls of glass in there are pretty cool too.

We had a hard time getting the kids to go look at something else besides this. The whole thing turned and it had different Nursery Rhymes on it like Rapunzel, the three little pigs etc. Then it had a train that went around all of it which all the boys loved.

They also had some house from a Gingerbread House Competition throughout the conservatory this is just one of them I could not believe the detail on them it was crazy.
