4th Ann Morrison Fireworks...Part 2

July 12, 2010

Meet Emily, the oldest of my 3 new nieces born this year!!! Emily was born March 28th and we finally got to meet her in May for the first time, when Kyle and his family came to visit Memorial weekend. She could not be more perfect and we were all instantly in love.

Dall even took to coordinating his wardrobe with hers.

And Calvin, thought she was the greatest thing, although I can't say she shared that sentiment for him.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning started off with Calvin coming downstairs to see his stockings and unwrapping our gifts. It was so fun seeing him so excited about Christmas this year, although the present unwrapping was a little painful since he just wanted to play with whatever he unwrapped instead of continuing the process.

We had Will's family over for breakfast and had a great time, then afterwards we went to my mom's for presents and Christmas dinner. It was a wonderful Christmas and we all felt so very blessed.

Someone was a little excited about his candy cane!

My favorite gift I got Will, was a "Beard" hat, so that he would have no more beard growing excuses. I can't say that he totally shared the love, but at least he found it humorous. My discontent for facial hair has been deeply rooted since I was a little girl. For some reason, I've always associated facial hair with murders and rapists.

Calvin had instant love for his Mr. Freeze...little did he know what was yet to come.

Jill, Calvin and Jaleese trying to hide from me so Calvin wouldn't have to take a nap.

After the nap we did presents at my mom's.

As you can see, some could hardly contain their excitement...

Others were a little bit more enthusiastic.

Calvin carefully inspecting his "superhero" shoes.

When you get older, you don't always get fun toys for Christmas. Good thing Calvin shared, so that my mom, Jill and I could explore our inner child.

And Calvin was elated by his very Batman christmas...in his eyes, life simply could not get better than this.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we have a tradition of homemade pizza, games and of course a little something to get us all into the Christmas spirit. After dinner, Santa Claus tried to come visit Calvin. It didn't go over so well. He immediately took off running, refused to look at him, and told Santa to go to church (that is where he saw Santa the first time).

Since my older nephew and nieces wouldn't comply (apparently Santa just isn't cool for those between the ages of 18 and 22), Jill and I attempted to show Calvin how nice Santa was. He got me a present :)

Unfortunately, it didn't help Calvin feel better about the situation.

After the Santa trauma was over with we continued the festivies with Christmas stories, songs, and opening gifts.

Gardens Aglow

We decided to all go check out the Idaho Botanical Garden's "Gardens Aglow" this year. The Last time I went, Calvin was still baking in my tummy. It was pretty awesome as usual. The pictures don't do it justice. Besides amazing lights, they have Santa Claus, reindeer, and the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted.

Will, Calvin, Me and Prancer.

Calvin and Darron got into a snowball fight. Calvin really got into it.

Lucky

This post is out of order, but I'm still so amazed by them that I had to get it up here. This is Dall's amazingly talented brother and sister. I'm pretty sure they outdid Mraz and Caillat on this one.
