Christmas Part 3

We also had a great visit in Bountiful. There are lots of aunts and uncles there all the time to keep the kids happy. It is great for me! Thanks for letting my kids drag you around and keeping them happy.

More new faces for Fischer to meet! Here with Aunt Melissa.
And Grandma

This is kinda a blurry pic but this is a favorite toy of the kids at Grandma's house. Myer even decided to drive it down Grandma's big flight of stairs. Eek, silly boy. Not sure if he accidentally went over or had the intention of going down. Luckily he was unharmed except for a little nick on his finger he kept showing me and would tell me it happened when he went down the stairs on the firetruck.

This was about the extent of our snow play. The kids went out for a bit. It later got rained off and we didn't see much snow the rest of our visit.




The 5 Hartman Grandkids. This was about the best pic I got. Annabelle was watching tv and why must we mention Myer's tummy and get him lifting his shirt to get him to smile?!

We had a fun time bowling one afternoon. I think my kids bowled better then I did. But in my defense they had this rack to help roll the ball down and the bumper bars up.


Fishcer hanging out




Christmas morning was much anticipated by Kenner. He enjoyed stacking his gifts into a tower!






Myer was pretty excited about this big truck with cars in it. Unfortunately, I was down feeding the baby when he opened this and I guess when he opened up a pair of Cars Pajamas he was pretty excited as well and took them around showing everyone in the room!

He took his truck over to show Great Grandma and tell her all about it!


Kenner and his Aunt Rachel. He sure likes her and she's good to let him drag her around.


Racing some of the cars! Myers still loves cars and trucks this year.


Gingerbread House making contest. Girls against boys! We totally won right ladies?!

The men did have a very structurally sound house they just lacked in the decorating skills!

Christmas Fireworks. The kids love this! And it wasn't as cold as last year.
Another great visit but we are always happy to come back home to warmer weather, no snow. and our own beds!

The plane ride back was mostly good except for the meltdown Myer had after we got to Vegas. He lost it when we got to the gate to wait for our next flight. Ya, we pretty much cleared the area within a few minutes! He he, I really did see a few people get up and leave. The kids were up around 5:15 to get ready to leave for the airport. Not much I could do to comfort a very tired child. Plus he was hungry since he wouldn't eat the breakfast we had bought.

I was about ready to leave Myer there in Vegas! Thankfully about 10 minutes after we were in the air he was out cold! His head kept bobbing out into the aisle. I was afraid it was going to get knocked with the people walking up and down the aisles. I couldn't get it to stay the other direction. So, I luckily got him to lay down onto my side and stay asleep for a nice little nap.

I had Myer laying on my side and Fischer asleep across my lap.
So sweet!

Christmas Part 2

Our Christmas, as usual, happened in three parts. I'm skipping part one, the San Antonio chapter, because I still need to get those off my camera I believe. So, we'll skip to part two the Brigham City chapter!

We flew out bright and early Wednesday the 15th. The kids did well on our two flights especially little Fischer. He hardly made a peep the whole time. He was a gem! We made it to Salt Lake around 1:00 and Wayne's parents were nice to pick us up and drop us off at the car rental place (our family is too big now to fit in their car we usually borrow) to pick up our rental for the next few days for our trip down to Brigham.

We had a nice visit with my family. I enjoyed having my brother and his wife stop by one evening for a visit and my other brother and his family stopped by the next day. It was great fun having them around to visit with. Wayne and I snuck off to a movie one evening and my sister came Friday night for our Saturday family get together. The time went fast but we enjoyed seeing everyone.


The first of many new faces Fischer got to see
Uncle Eric

Aunt Aubrey

And these two little cuties are just a month apart. We've never had grandkids so close in age. It was fun having two little babies around.
Trying to hold hands or something!

It almost looks like they are having a little conversation here the way their heads and mouths are. He he!


Me and my Sisters!

Kenner watching the cousins play ping pong. It was so fun having all the cousins around to play with!

Fischer enjoying some time with Cousin Maddi!

And with Cousin Lauren

The Gang just before our Christmas dinner.

Silly boy!


Me and my brother and our new little babies!


Traditional brother/sister pic. Although we aren't in front of the tree like usual. Christmas wouldn't be the same without it though!!

Enjoying Grandma's blueberries with Cousin Hayley!

Grandma loving Fischer. He got lots of cuddling while there!

Trying to keep these boys entertained! Grandma was nice to play a game with them.

Such concentration

We had great food, fun and family at my parents! Thanks for the visit!

I'll try to get parts 1 and 3 posted soon!
