An Idahoan Christmas!

Christmas morning at the Hansen's. Grandma hanging out with little Kian on his first Christmas. He didn't quite understand all the excitement. We'll give him a few years. Landon now totally understands it. He wanted to unwrap all the presents and then insisted on carrying them around with him in a Christmas bag everywhere. His big present this year was a kids digital camera in an effort to keep him from playing with ours.

Up at Grandma Shuldberg's the grandkids performed a Christmas pageant. Here's Megan representing a very pregnant Mary. We all thought it was pretty funny.

Here's Alanna with her little angel Baylee. Clarynn took charge of the pageant and made several little costumes. She made this costume for Baylee and it turned out adorably. Baylee wasn't so sure about the halo.

The shepherd and the two wise men bringing their gifts. It was adorable because Ella took the lid off the perfume and licked it and then made the funniest face. Oh to be young and curious again.

Here's the whole cast. They couldn't get Landon to wear his costume or participate unfortunately, but the pageant was great. We all enjoyed it and the kids had fun dressing up.

Here's my little boy all dressed up in his Christmas outfit. Isn't Kian just adorable? It is fun dressing up the little one. He's a big boy and just smiles all the time. Whenever anyone talks to him he just lights up. I love having my boys even though they can be trouble. Below are my two boys. Landon is happy to hold Kian and Kian is a little unsure of it. Brothers that will have much fun together in the future. Merry Christmas!

Being a Baby and Pre Christmas Festivities

Landon decided that maybe Kian was on to something with the bassinet and the pacifier. It is ironic that the child who would never take a pacifier now thinks they are fun. I guess it's always more fun to be a baby.

The boys playing around. Jace is the best father ever. He handles Landon's energy well, although sometimes he fuels the fire.

Look at these two, can anyone have any sweeter or cuter two little boys?

Our pre Christmas festivities. We let Landon play with one of his presents the week before we left for Idaho. It's a little tent and tunnel. He loved playing in it and he even napped in it once From then on he went and hid in it whenever we told him it was bedtime or naptime. Here is the boys camping out in the tent.

Mindy Sue Photography

While Mindy was here she kept herself busy on several mornings with some photo shoots to enhance her portfolio for her new business, Mindy Sue Photography. So we were the lucky recipients of her talents. Here are a few of the pictures we love, I must admit my favorite family picture is on our Christmas card so I didn't post that one. Thanks Mindy these turned out fabulous!

She also did a photo shoot of baby pictures of Kian. I must admit that now I'm wishing we had done this with Landon when he was a baby too! There are many adorable pictures of Kian, but I didn't want to post too many so here are a couple of my favorites, although I basically love them all.

Thanks Mindy! You are a photographer extraordinaire!
