The Phillips: January 2011

So we know that Christmas has come and gone a while ago, but we decided to still do a post on on it 'cause our kids were just so cute on Christmas morning!! We just love Christmas and it has been getting better with having children. They make it more fun and exciting for us each and every year. We love talking to Ethan about the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and love to ask him questions. He is getting to be a really smart boy and we just love hearing the answers that he gives us!!! This year we were able to go to Temple Square, with a few of our friends, and see the beautiful lights. Ethan had so much more fun when his friend, Cooper, came to play with him and he just hung on to Cooper like a puppy dog!!! We were able to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Mike. It was fun to decorate the sugar cookies and spend some time with our fun Uncle Matt and our lovable Aunt Sierra!! Christmas morning we spent the morning at home enjoying the new things we received and spending some family time together!!! Later on in the week we went and visited our Grandma T and Grandpa Steve in Idaho! We had so much fun with them too!!!! What a great family that we have and we are so grateful for the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and for all that he does for us!!!! We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and that you New Year came in with lots of love!!!!!

Ethan loved dressing up as Batman with his new PJs and his new cape!!!!

Side note this picture was taken on Christmas morning and so were all the others. We don't know why they say 24th.

Daisy opening up a gift from Ethan!!!

Santa got Daisy this doll 'cause it reminded him of her. She has the same personality as our sweet Daisy and laughs just like Daisy. We call her "Baby Daisy"! Daisy just loves her doll and laughs every time the doll laughs! Ethan gave her the stroller!!!

Like most little ones Daisy loved playing in the rapping paper more than playing with her presents!! What a little ham!!!!

Singing "Happy Birthday" and letting Ethan blow out the candles!!!

Ethan enjoying his new toys! Thanks all Aunts and Uncles for all the cool things you gave both our kids! They really love everything!!!

At Grandparents' house opening cool new gifts from cool grandparents!!!

He loves dressing up and loves his two new costumes.

On a side note: he found this present a little before Christmas and wanted Grandma to let him play with it. What a little snooper!!!

Mommy and Ethan made this snowman up in Idaho. Ethan named him Frosty (he watched that movie a lot over the season!).

So Steve recently had his Birthday this month! We were able to spend it just relaxing and having some family over later that night! Steve really likes his new 'toys' that he got from everyone! Thank you for thinking of him on such a special day!!!
