Christmas

Christmas was a whirlwind of fun, wrapping paper, cousins, and travel.

The night before we left for Paris, we opened presents from our Montana family...Q got a Montana State University hat. He doesn't really wear it like this....

klp was having fun coloring with his new colors!

The western store in Paris has a cool light display that they drive you through in a horse carriage. We had to wait a little while, but we all enjoyed it.

A couple of Phillips Pham Christmas pictures

Nolan and klp

showin each other some love

"the girls"

This picture should be titled: "What I should've got Kanyon for Christmas" Dad was using this little dust buster thing to vacuum up the fireplace after he brought more wood in. klp LOVED it!

Ro got Hungry Hungry Hippos....

Later that night Clint and Clay were trying to get their stuff loaded to head home and the kids were.....well....DONE.. It was starting to get crazy and Maurine saved the day by grabbing a book and occupying the kids!

I somehow have no pictures of Christmas with my mom's side of the family.....BUMMER. It was a fun time too!!

Christmas morning it was just us and my parents' house. It was a fun time for the boys and for us watching them!

Q got some goodies, but all he wanted was more antibiotic out of his syringe.

again...ignoring his toys and trying to suck more medicine out! :)

Santa brought a Cozy Coupe.....Its not a 2 seater...

This child would've stayed in it ALL DAY. He was loving it. He can get in and out by himself...YEAH! and can make it go backwards. He's had lots of fun with it. In all honesty, its driven me crazy. Our house doesn't have much room so he pushes it back once and he's stuck and yells for help. Over and over and OVER. BUT he loves it and I'm so glad he can do it as well as he can. When I've reached my limit, we just go hide it in my closet for the rest of the day! :)

Christmas day evening we headed to Gilmer with my Dad's family.

q enjoyed cuddles with Mary Lynn

and klp enjoyed all of his big cousins....he and Nathan were big buddies during church Sunday!

the stairs are always a hit!

We were cracking up at Landry and Kanyon. She was feeding him and holding his drink. This little girl will mother anything that will let her! :) It was so sweet!

I came back to Paris for the rest of the week (Kory had to go back to work) and we had lots more fun. One night Dad and Clint and Clay camped out so they could hunt, so Rachel and Mo brought the kids and we had ANOTHER sleep over!

the cozy coupe continued to provide big fun!

All of the cousins no longer fit in the same tub....the boys had fun....well, Nolan and Kanyon had fun! (notice klp and the water...he loves to do that!)

I'm getting A LOT of this these days. Pulling up on my legs and yelling, crying, begging me to pick him up. This is a very appropriate and accurate picture of Quinn right now.

klp got his first shiner while we were in Gilmer. He had a run in with a coffee table. It was a pretty good black eye, but of course, the picture doesn't show it very well.

Merry Christmas!
