A Hancock Christmas

Our annual Sunday Christmas picture in front of the tree. I think both of the boys started undressing as soon as we walked through the door.
Grandma and Poppa got the boys a new trampoline! YAY! Our old one died several months back in our neighbors yard during a monsoon. Hayden was so excited! He loves to jump. Shawn was relieved to have some help putting it together. Thanks guys!
I was a little excited about the boys new bathrobes and super sick slippers. They make me laugh. Don't they look like Grandpa's?
Hayden helps Grandpa Darryl open his present...as if he didn't have enough of his own to open, that little turkey.
Hayden is such a sweetheart. He bought a "Baby's first Christmas" stocking at the student store for Libby. After he bought it he came home from school and wrapped it up for her. He loves his baby sister!
Ethan's number one present that he wanted this year was Lego Universe. Thank goodness Santa pulled through for him!

According to Ethan Christmas this year was the Best ever! And I think I would have to agree, it was pretty great. We were lucky enough to have my Mom and Darryl, and friend Eddie, be with us this year. They are such great guests we always love when they stay with us, and are sad when they leave.
A few Christmas highlights:
  1. Baking in the kitchen with my Mom
  2. Christmas Eve FHE, and thinking about our gift to the Savior
  3. Boys loving their stockings so much they didn't wake us up to early! Even though Ethan opened his stocking at one! That little stinker!
  4. Christmas morning pull apart- most delicious ever
  5. Kids loving all their presents, and getting everything they wanted, and not feeling like I went completely overboard
  6. Being able to get a baby doll, and stroller (I was so excited all month for Libby to open her presents!)
  7. Shawn bought me everything I wanted this year, he was so good to me! I got jammies, a camera, Just Dance 2, and piccross (a ds game...I know kinda silly, but so fun!) (Man I must have been a good girl this year!)
  8. Going to the movies to see Gulliver's Travels
  9. Christmas fettuccine (This is Shawn's favorite thing that he prepares, so its become our little tradition)
  10. And of course playing with all the loot is always a highlight. Shawn said its his reason we had kids...so that he can still get all the fun toys for Christmas!

Cute post and pictures! Can you believe that I noticed your shoes, of all things? They are super cute. BTW, I totally ran into your sister at pump-it-up the other day. Not Taryn but the other one and for the life of me, I can't remember her name. I've gone blank. I mean, i have only been to her house TWICE. Jeez.
Your kids are getting so big. You guys are due for a visit here, I think. We should go out with the Nevarez's. Talk to you soon!
