Oregon Christmas

Christmas was spent in Oregon this year with Sean's side of the family. 
Before we left, we had our own small present opening morning at our house with the very few presents we had under our tree.
Clayton got a car garage from us, he loves it!

 We took our stockings to Oregon with us so we could open them on Christmas morning. Clayton got a lot of awesome presents. In his stocking from Mom and Dad, He got more cars to use with his car garage, some action figures, and some books. Grandma and Grandpa got him some movies, and lots of trucks and tractors... even one he can ride on! 
 Clayton loved going to the "drive-up movies" in Grandma and Grandpa's living room :)
Sean and Clayton rode the train at the mall with Valerie and her girls. Clayton, was in heaven! He kept talking about it all day long! 

This is what the road conditions were on our way to and from Sean's parent's house! They were super snowy and icy... which is why we ended off the road in the sage brush at one point!! Luckily it wasn't any worse than that, and a nice person was able to tow us back onto the road so we could continue on. 

Then we headed back to Idaho and spent a few days with my family. We made fires out in the snow and went snowmobiling and sledding. Clayton got a movies, more cars, a play dough pizza kitchen, and a rocking horse. 
We completely failed in the picture taking while in Weiser but here is a picture of Clayton riding his horse. He loves it! He always yells "Yeehaw, Giddy up!!"

Deck the Halls

We got to go and cut down our Christmas tree this year!
Our tree is a "Charlie Brown" tree but we love it, and Clayton thinks it's awesome, so I guess that is all that matters :) 
 Helping Daddy saw the tree
 He also insisted on helping Dad drag the tree back to the truck! 
 He was soaked so he rode pants-less on the way home :)
 Clayton kept saying "plug lights" and would dance around with the lights after plugging them in!
 In his snack cup he keeps the sheep from his nativity scene, because they are easier to hold all at once that way, of course, Doesn't everyone carry around sheep in a snack cup?? :)
 Clayton hangs ornaments on the lights instead of the tree branches...
 He also likes to hang them all in a nice row in the same spot :) 
 Our stockings were hung on our welcome sign with care, because we don't have a chimney :) 
Our finished tree! Our halls are now officially "decked" and ready for Christmas! It's so festive in here, we love it!!
