So I feel really bad about not keeping everyone updated but our camera is still not fixed and I feel silly putting up old pictures as Tyson has changed so much! Luckily for us, though, we have friends and family with cameras and we have finally put enough of their pictures together to be able to blog about it! So much has happened these past two months! It was so nice to have Christian home for three weeks over Christmas break! We spent time with Christian's parents for the first week and then with my parents the next two weeks.
As you may have noticed, we did not send out Christmas cards this year. So here it is...Merry Christmas from the Francis Family! We love you all and are so grateful for your love and support. We are so happy to have a Savior and be able to celebrate His birth. Christ means everything to us. Please come and see us in Texas! Our house is open for all to stay! By the way, we are planning on sending out Valentine's day cards instead this year, so be prepared! :)
The first week we were in Montana the high was -10 degrees fahrenheit. Christian's parents gave Tyson this snowsuit which he lived in that entire first week! He even slept in it! It was nice once it got above zero!
Here is Christian and my brother Dan holding the babies.
Christmas Eve was spent at my Dad's house. Tyson got the cutest Teddy who is bigger than he is! He loved it! Thanks Dad! By the way, he had several blow outs that night which is why he isn't wearing any clothes. We are so grateful for heaters in Montana!
The three baby boys got along splendidly! Here they are all together on Christmas Eve day!
All of the boys got matching bears. It was so cute!
Here are all of the grandkids with Granny Jo. They had adorable Christmas pajamas which everyone opened up on Christmas Eve. My mom is so beautiful!
Christmas morning we helped Tyson open his first presens! He wasn't too interested but it was still fun for us!
It is a tradition in my family to go bowling on New year's Eve. The fun part was that Tyson was good luck! Christian held him nearly the entire night and kicked my trash! Although, with a score of maybe 50 that may not have been too hard to do! Christian (and Tyson) did do really well.
Christian and Tyson waiting their turn to bowl!
New Year's Eve we always run about two miles and meet at the big clock on Main Street. Christian, Dan, and I cut along the side streets one block early so we could pass my younger brothers Ben and Jake without them noticing. When Ben and Jake got to the clock they were so surprised they hadn't won! Everyone made it by midnight and it was a lot of fun.
We finally got to go skiing together for the first time ever! Christian snowboarded and I was on skis and it was so much fun! I was amazed at how beautiful the snowy mountains are in Montana! We loved it!
It was so nice to have Christian home and not studying all the time. Tyson loved it too and they spent nearly every moment together.
Tyson is gnawing his fingers in anticipation of this long-awaited moment! He has been grabbing at our plates for weeks and now it is finally his turn! 
He looks a little worried about this thing called food. 
Dad is ready with the rice cereal in hand! 
The first bite! 
Does he like it? 
Hey! It's not so bad! 
Mom's turn! 
We have the cutest little boy and are so proud he can now eat...sort of!
