Christmas 2009!

What a great Christmas we had!! Corbett made it so much fun! Cody took Wednesday off work and took Corbett skiing up at Beaver. This is Corbett's cousin Zach helping him onto the magic carpet. Zach helped Corbett all day! Cody and Corbett both have season passes so it should be a good year for them. Corbett did great. Cody says he feels like a fish out of water because he has been a snowboarder for so long and now he's skiing to help Corbett. While they were skiing I had time to myself so I finished up shopping and cleaned the house.

We went to Idaho to Cody's parents house for Christmas this year. We left early Thursday morning. One of the highlights for Corbett was going to the fire station in Rigby to see the fire trucks (where Cody's mom does EMT call)! Talk about heaven for a little boy! Corbett got to see a lot of different fire trucks! Here he is again with Grandma & Grandpa. They have a lot of fire hoses! While we were there we had such good food (I even made tiny spicy chicken for Christmas Eve)! We played games and visited and then on Christmas Eve we opened small presents from each other. We read the Christmas story from the bible. We also put reindeer food out and Corbett was so excited because it was very obvious there had been some reindeer there sticking their noses in the snow and eating the food he left for them! Cody's dad had to work on Christmas Eve at 7pm until the morning at 7:30am. We tried to keep Corbett up late so he'd sleep in, but against all odds (Corbett is a big sleeper) he woke up 10 minutes before Kim got home, it all worked out though and Kim was there when he came in the livingroom to see if Santa came. We enjoyed opening presents and seeing Corbett's reaction to his presents. We had a nice Turkey dinner at Cody's grandma's house which is connected to his parents house.

Of course they had a game for us to play as well! I don't think I've ever been so content with a Christmas season! Saturday Cody and Corbett went skiing again and this time I went to watch. It was great fun to see Corbett ski! Here he is on the magic carpet with Cody. At first he had a meltdown and I thought we wouldn't get him in his skiis at all. He recovered luckily and had a good day of it. Tammy's kids were there and they stuck close by Corbett and helped him all day. They wouldn't leave his side. This has been a good year for us. We've been very blessed! Our twins are starting to kick me every so often and we'll find out in a week what they are! I couldn't ask for more this Christmas season!!
