Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!  Cohen and I were so excited to spend Christmas with Daddy and family!  What a blessing!  We got to celebrate Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Larsen, Adam and Tera's family, and of course, ALL of our family!  Yay!  Even Kanobe and Layah got to have most of their family back together (Kanobe, Layah, Lilly, Meggie, and Goose)!  We started off Christmas morning getting ready for church and waiting for Cohen Monster to wake up to see what goodies Santa brought!  Cohen finally woke up and got to open Santa's gifts!  He got a farm set with so many farm animals, a barn, a tractor, hay, animals sounds, etc...We are talking the whole works!  He loved it!  However, he was SOOO excited to find marshmallows, bugs and balls in his stocking as well!  Everyone who knows Cohen well knows he LOVES animals, bugs, balls and of course, mommy (haha) :)  He also got a toothbrush and some books, they just weren't as high on the thriller list!  Santa was too kind to bring mommy, daddy, grandma, and grandpa stockings too!  It is still so fun to look in the stocking even after all these years!  After the Santa gifts, we headed to sacrament meeting at the Santaquin 10th ward!  Then, we came home and had the rest of our Christmas with everyone!  We had so much fun watching everyone open the gifts we got them!  Scott and I just absolutely love to GIVE to people (we hope Cohen will love it just as much too)!  It brings absolute joy into our lives!  However, even with all the gifts and giving Christmas brings, we can't forget the real reason for the season!  This season is all about Jesus Christ and the gift of his birth, life here on earth, atonement, and resurrection!  What a loving Heavenly Father to send his only begotten son to this earth to ultimately atone for our sins and yet, be resurrected so we all may have eternal life and become like our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!  Now, that is priceless and the ultimate gift!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!  Here are just a few of many wonderful moments we captured on Christmas day!















Have you figured out Cohen is in the "I don't want to look at the camera to save my life" phase?  It drives mommy CRAZY!!  It is fun to see all of his many facial expressions though!!


 

I love this picture...too bad Penelope couldn't sit in this picture with them! (Lilly,Troy, Meggie, Goose, Kanobe, Tanner, Layah, and Cohen)
