Christmas Day!!!!

Okay so we promise that this will be the very last post for the day!!! These next pictures are of the whole Phillips clan. We had a really great and a little bit crazy time. We started out with some breakfast and then went to presents, that really got crazy!!! Then we had to get some family pictures since there were a few new people that were added on to the clan within the last two years! It might have been crazy, but we sure do love spending time with those that we don't get to see that often! We hope you enjoy these pictures and that they make you laugh as much as they make us laught!!!!!! Happy Holidays and we hope you have a safe and wonderful new year!

Here are Brad and Claire's two out of three kids; Sadie and Drew with Ethan!
Grandma got the kids lots of things and lots of books; here is Ethan checking out his new book!
Ethan is trying to catch a ride on the back of Drew's bike, but we're not sure Drew really wanted Ethan to tag along.

Ethan is not use to sharing things, but he is learning now with Darwin (the monkey).

Ethan unrapping his present all by himself. What a big boy!!!!

Since unrapping presents got a little crazy we got only a few pictures at the begining. Both Ethan and Drew got a fire truck from Uncle Matt and Aunt Sierra. Thanks guys Ethan really loves his!!

Ethan and Drew riding their bikes and having fun without fighting!(YEAH!!!)

Steve and his brothers/brother-in-law got some old fashioned sports card from Dad. Thank you, Dad for all the time you spent finding these!!!!

Finally when all the fun is done, Ethan and Steve decide that they want to play with Aunt Ashley and Uncle Dave's Wii. Also, Ethan thinks it's time to hang out with no pants on!!! Next to Ethan his a toy car that they (Ash and Dave) gave to him, Thanks guys for everything!!

A Very McClaskey Christmas

Hey all we hope that you enjoyed the Christmas holiday. We really want to thank all of you for you friendship and kindness in the past and present. We love you all and wanted to show off all the pictures that we took when we went up to see Sharifa's side of the family. We went the week before Christmas so that Ethan, Steve, and Sharifa could see most of her family members. Joy, Dave and the Gallup kids were able to make it back to Idaho all the way from Indiana to spend the holidays with us, their family. Ethan had a lot of fun with both of his cousins and enjoyed spending time with them!!! They really were very nice to him and we appreciate that!!!!

Harley's birthday was only a few days away so we decided to give her her birthday present early since we wouldn't make it to her party. We think she enjoyed her gift.

Harley loved to sit in the stroller and Ethan loved pushing her around the house. They made such a perfect match!!!

Ethan and Daddy with his first gift from Uncle Dave, Aunt Joy, Harley, and Oakley!!
Harley loves to put pretty things on her lips, so for a present we gave her lots of lip gloss. We think she love that gift also!!

Oakley playing with his new truck holder that came with stickers, he loves stickers!!! We think we made a good choice with getting the truck holder and the truck for Oakley!Harley helping her brother out with his new toy.
Ethan is helping daddy open one of his gifts! What a little helper!!Continuing being a little helper, Ethan tries to help mommy with her gift!
Ethan is very happy with what he got from his Grandma and Grandpa McClaskey!!!!

Ethan's Grandparents(McClaskey) gave him a Dallas Cowboys sweat suit. He looks very cute, don't you think? Ethan and Oakley playing with each other.After all the gifts were open the kids went down stairs to play with each other!!!

While down stairs Oakley and Harley taught Ethan how to dance, so this next clip is of Ethan and his cousins dancing. We hope you laugh and enjoy this clip as much as we do!!!
