Here are our pics from Christmas this year. Here is our Christmas family picture. Both the kids made out like bandits and this was the 1st year that Tucker has been old enough to make it really fun for all of us. He LOVED Christmas and all the excitement. He got his cowboy stuff--hat, Wranglers, lace-up boots and shirt, lots of movies, a kids' digital camera (he took 45 pictures that same day), jammies, Cars sleeping bag/pillow/lamp...lots of stuff. Kinlee got lots of jammies, which she needed, a beautiful Christmas dress, a stuffed rocking horse that sings and makes sounds which she loves and a Cabbage Patch doll. The other pics are McKinlee wearing Tucker's hat and a couple more of our outing with some friends to picnic/ride bikes.

Tucker's turn. :) What a little hoot he is and has been lately. He always likes to tell us how "serious" he is about everything and if he asks you to look...you better look or he won't stop bugging you to look at him. He is getting bigger and I'm afraid he's going to be a ladies man...got some funny stories about that...well...we're not sure how funny they are but they're definitely MEMORABLE!!! The Murray's in Rhode Island have a daughter, Rayna, that is getting married this next summer and Clint (her fiancee) and Rayna asked Tucker to be their ring bearer so this is a pic we took of him to send to them answering their question. They also sent Tucker a gummy kit for Halloween and there's one of him having a blast making his gummies. The tree that Tucker is climbing in is in our backyard and isn't really very big, but Yates couldn't find him one day and went outside and there he was in the very TOP of the tree. The last picture is from a camping trip we took to Hatch, UT where Yates took Tucker fishing for the first time. This was in the fall so it's a little older, but I thought it was cute.

Here are some pics that we took of McKinlee for her birthday sort of and also some that we took when we went for a little outing with some friends riding motorcycles and a 4-wheeler. The ones of her birthday were just at our house and Yates thought I was a crazy lady getting her all dolled up for just a few pics. She's a ham and is such a happy little girl. She's actually walking pretty good now and it getting two teeth on the top to match her two teeth on the bottom. We were beginning to think she'd spend her entire life gumming all her food. We just went through our first bout of pink eye with both the kids and her poor eyes are just getting better finally. She got it worse than Tucker and HATES eye drops. The other ones are of her wearing some "bling" glasses (that she actually kept on without trying to yank them off) and a Disney princess necklace.

Here are some pics of McKinlee's 1st Birthday. We had 2 parties for her--one while we were in Idaho for Thanksgiving the week before her birthday and another one a few days after her actual birthday at our house. She LOVED the balloons and the cake! She got a little walker for her birthday and loves it.
