Christmas Season at the Mortensens

We started our Christmas Season by going to Bass Pro to sit on Santa's lap. I thought for sure that at least one of our boys would cry but they both did very well and both told Santa that they have been very good this year :)This was the first year that we have built a Gingerbread house. It was a lot of fun but very messy. I am excited to make this a tradition in our home.

Since the weather has gotten cold, I try to come up with indoor activities for the boys to do. I found these ornaments at Wal-mart and the boys had tons of fun painting them and hanging them on the tree.

Brodyn has been into building things lately. Here is one of his many guns that he has built.
While in Utah we went shopping at the mall with Grandma, Wendi and her kids. They had a train giving kids rides around the mall. Of course we couldn't leave with out a train ride.

Brodyn and Dredyn had fun playing in the snow at Jaxs house. We have to get in all the snow playing that we can while in Utah and Idaho. I never thought that I would miss the snow, but I admit that I do.


For Christmas this year we stayed home in Las Vegas. It was nice not having to rush to get from house to house, to let our boys sleep in their own beds and to have our own little family Christmas but we missed our families a lot and are excited to be able to go home to Idaho next year.

And last but not least the two who make it all happen :)

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone already. It has been a great year and we are excited to celebrate New Years in Utah with family and are even more excited to start a new year and see what 2011 brings to the Mortensen household.
