Christmas day was wonderful this year! I kept thinking I would have liked to have had family around-and I would have, but it was also really nice to just have everything low-key. We woke up around ten, fed Austin, watched Tyson open his santa present and then the Blairs came over for Christmas breakfast! We had poppyseed bread and eggs on english muffins. It was so yummy! Then we opened presents and just relaxed! For dinner, we went to the Blairs with a bunch of other people who had no family in town for Christmas and played games. It was really fun!
Christmas morning!
This entertained him for over 30 minutes at which point we had to interrupt his play time to eat breakfast. We had no idea what a great gift this would make! (note, this picture was taken a day or two later)
Opening presents!
Our good friends the Blairs! Christian and Jeff were roommates for three years in college and they were our favorite doubling couple for a long time in Provo. We've taken road trips, met up in random cities, and now they live just down the street! We are so very grateful they're our friends!
Tyson loves everything 'Thomas the train.' Here he is decked out in his train pajamas, playing with his train set. This has been the best toy to keep him busy when my hands are full!
Hanging out during the day! I love what a great big brother Tyson has been. He is always trying to make Austin happy and loved. He really is wonderful!
For Christmas we got a new camera from Christian's parents (thank you so much! What a fabulous surprise!) and we have loved it! Here's Tyson who has liked to dress crazy for a while now. He loves these goggles!
This picture was taken a week before on Christmas Sunday. He is such a cutie!

Right when I was fully dialated we called the nurse only to find out her other patient was delivering...so we didn't have a nurse! When the replacement finally came I had been trying to hold in the baby for nearly twenty minutes! She came in and when she finally checked me said, "Yep, I can see the head!" Then she sent an email asking the doctor to come without putting his address on the email-so she had sent it to no one! Thanks to this guy standing right by the computer as he held my hand through each of the contractions, she was called back into the room to try and send it again. The nurse thought it was funny--I did not. Christian is the best husband and father in the world. I am so so glad he was there to pull me through!
