Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Everything in Between!

I'm hoping this post finds you all merry and bright and having had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We have had a lot of fun ourselves these passed couple of weeks!
Here's the breakdown:
Christmas:
1. Our babies were spoiled! Tatem got a HUGE Mater he can drive, lots of toys and a tablet, Emerson got a tummy time mat and lots of toys and clothes.
2. Tanner got his much loved and desired punching bag and accessories, with some clothes and other odds and ends.
3. Tanner spoiled me with the wedding band I have wanted FOREVER! We were too poor when we first got married to buy one.
4. Our parents and grandparents spoiled us too! And our gift for our parents is still on backorder so I guess our Christmas will live on when it finally arrives! (We felt pretty bad about it come Christmas day!)
5. We spent TONS of time with everyone we love; Christmas Eve was with my family and Tanner's family at our home. It was SO much fun, hopefully it can become a tradition! Christmas day we spent with both families and with the Groesbecks at a local Church building, it was so fun to be together.

New Years:
1. Had a lot of fun with our kiddos and friends' house from our previous ward, so far we don't have party friends in this ward...in fact, we tried to have an elder's quorum party here and only 3 people came...so sad because we're SO fun!
In Betweens:
1. Tanner took this last week off (new years week) and it was SO fun! We went to the Discovery Gateway Children's museum, went on a date while Grandma and Grandpa H kept the kiddos, and just enjoyed our family! I wish we could have a week off more often!
We feel so blessed this Christmas season, we really enjoy where we are in our family right now and we're keeping busy....Tanner starts some classes again in a couple of weeks, and Emerson is getting HUGE! She's trying to roll over, and eating big girl food! It's so fun having a baby around!Tatem is pretty big himself, he starts speech therapy (hopefully) in Taylorsville on Monday, and we're excited to get him the help he needs with his speech and anxiety! We love him, and he is so funny and a blast to have around!
