This of course was Matt's doing...

he is such a good sport!  This was on Christmas Eve...I guess he was a wise man!

On Christmas Adam, I got a "cyst" removed from my head that had been there for over 10 years.  only 2 stitches.

We had Chicken Cordon Bleu, mustard greens and gluten-free blueberry muffins for Christmas Eve dinner! Soooo good!  Sterling of course had some olives as well.

Finally a successful bath time together!  Before, Sterling would knock max over, or max would fall over himself.  They both loved it this time, and Max was all over the place.

Christmas morning!  Stocking!

Sterfry definitely knew what he was doing this time and was very excited about opening his presents!  

Papa and Gigi visit!  We took them to Temple Square after we picked them up from the airport.  We had lots of fun.  

Temple square lights!

sorry, kinda blurry

Took them to Chubby's to do the "Chubby Challenge."  Matt beat it for the 4th time.  Papa was sooo close...but not quite!  Maybe next time ;)

Gigi loves!

Watching Thomas the Train...of course.

Went swimming at the Hotel.  Papa and Gigi gave us a baby free night at the hotel, while they watched the boys at our apt!  

Sterfry had way too much fun in the pool.  Conked out 2 minutes after I let him watch t.v. in bed to warm up.

This cutie is 8 months old today!  he has 1 tooth and 2 coming in!  He loves "crawling" all over the house and eating everything in sight, which keeps me on my toes!  His crawl is half army crawl and half normal crawl...kinda weird!  He is up on his knees, but still uses his forearms.  That doesn't slow him down though!

"Helping" me make homemade gluten-free  brownies and "cleaning up" afterwards!  He loves helping me stir and put things in the bowl when making muffins, cake and cookies.  But, as you can see, his favorite part is eating the dough!

This is what the boys did while I made food for Thanksgiving!  It is always nice to cook without someone crying, grabbing your legs or trying to push you out of the kitchen!  :)

 Sterling likes to sleep with his panda pillow, pig, bunny, bear, silky blankie and I spy blankie.

Poppy watched the boys while my mom and I went shopping!!!  Thanks dad!

Dad did this to all of the kids in my fam, and is continuing the tradition with the grandchildren.  Good thing I trust him!  My parents came the day after Thanksgiving, I of course forgot to get a pic of the boys with my mom :(  We loved having them here though!
