The most wonderful time of the year!

Well this is it! The week of Christmas has finally come, and we couldn't be more excited!!!!
Merry Christmas to you all, with lots of love and laughter!!!!

Santa!?!? I know him

Over the weekend we had some special guests come to our family

Christmas party.

SANTA!!!!!!! and Mrs. Claus of course!

They come visit every year during the Tingey Christmas party. Andy's grandpa passed away a few years ago, and we are so happy that Grandma Norma (Andy's step-grandma?) Still has these parties. Here she is below with her cute new beau David from South Africa. He is one of the most fascinating people I've ever met. When Santa arrived the first thing they did was hand out "Magical" Christmas hats and headbands. Ash and her cute little bug Sam.

Logan was not such a happy elf at this party however. His attitude was more on the Ebenezer side. A little grumpy that is.
Travis and Andy got into the spirit of things!

He was a good boy though for as tired as he was. Even the after all the Christmas songs we sang, didn't cheer him up. HUM BUG!

Freeeeeezing Fun

We had a busy fun filled weekend. We are kicking off the season to great start. Friday we went to the festival of trees, then to the Jazz game. It was Logan's first game and he had a great time. Clapping and roaring...It was fun to watch him.

Sunday we ate at the Welch's, listened to the Prophet's Christmas message then headed down to Temple square to see the lights...and freeze our buns off. We bundled Logan up tight. He looks like the Marshmallow Man! I know in 10 years this will be one picture that he will ask me, "WHY?!?!?!" And I will say, "Because I love you!"

Logan had the best end of the stick on this one. He was so snug, he kept roaring and laughing the whole time.

Bo was a great help in keeping Logan entertained. He loves his cousins so much!

Chad and Natalie or as I keep calling them by accident:
Chad-a-lie
I don't know, it just comes out.
And I'm not sure who these two are...

Oh wait now I remember ;)

I can't get enough of this guy!

Monday morning we woke up and are ready for another week.

ANNOUNCEMENT: 8 more days till Trent and Laura are in town!

We are so excited! for those of you who don't know them: Trent is Andy's brother that is away at dental school. And we miss them like CRAZY!!!! We can't wait for them to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I'm counting or anything....

9 Months!

9 Months OLD!?!?!?!

Excuse me while I freak out! I woke up yesterday and realized that Logan was 9 months old, and then thought...these 9 months went WAY faster than the 9 long months that I was pregnant with him. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!?!?

He is still such an amazing kid, who is crawling and ALL over the place. I blame Andy. He can't sit still for 2 seconds just like his daddy! But I love them both for it.

Logan enjoys eating...all the time. Even through the funny faces of new food, he always comes back for more.

Logan also LOVES to sleep with one leg up on his bumpers and turned completely sideways. Some nights I will sneak in and put him straight and tuck his blanket in snug around him, but by morning he is sprawled out again.

Logan also LOVES to play inside his toy bucket. Andy will put him in and then drag him all over the room. It's hysterical to hear his high pitched laugh.
This one is my favorite...

Logan LOVES to do blow fishes on every window in sight. No matter how many times I wash them, if he can reach them there's little mouth marks all over. I think it's cute!

Logan LOVES to crawl EVERYWHERE!!! He is mobile, and loves his freedom. Little man we love you, and love you, and love you!
