It seems silly to send out Christmas cards to those of you who see the blog every week so consider this your official "Merry Christmas" from us! We hope the holiday is wonderful for you. Here are the pictures I would have put in your card. Sorry you won't have anything to put on your fridge. 
As you can see, Nolan didn't want anything to do with Santa. He's been saying "ho ho ho" for weeks, but the real thing was pretty scary. I guess every child needs a picture like this!
We've been filled with holiday cheer around here lately. We went to temple square to see the lights and have dinner. Nolan's favorite part was riding trax ("choo choo"). Here are the two pictures we took. Justin's halo really caught the camera's flash. It turns out there was a crane in the background with some blaring lights. I'm no photographer. 
We had our ward Christmas dinner and Nolan wouldn't stay put at the table (no surprise). He ran out of the gym and around the other side of the building. When Justin found him a couple minutes later, he was standing on a chair with his hand on the fire alarm lever. We came so close to evacuating the whole building. I'm so glad Justin caught him in time because our friends were in charge of the whole event. It would have really put a damper on the party they worked hard for.
Last week, Justin was watching Nolan while I was at a yummy Enrichment dinner this past week and Nolan insisted that Dad put him in his laundry hamper. Justin said he sat in there with his blanket and puppy for at least 30 minutes. Dad lucked out!
Nolan saw Dad open the garbage can with his foot (I'm not really sure why he did that either), so now Nolan thinks that's how he should do it too. It doubles as a great hamstring stretch.
Here is Nolan's latest haircut. Whenever it's cut short he looks like such a big boy.
I'm happy to be in the second trimester. It's amazing how much better I've felt the past week. It's nice that all those Christmas goodies are actually sounding good now! Merry Christmas, everyone!

What fun pictures! Isn't that typical of dads to find fun ways to keep kids contained while they are watching them :) That is hilarious about Nolan and the fire alarm (probably not funny for you guys at the time), but the party probably did run smoother without us all having to run out of the church! :)
Those are great pictures. Nolan is such a character - and yea, it's a good thing that fire alarm wasn't pulled last night. A close call is funny enough.
I absolutely LOVE the hamstring stretch!! So funny....and so Justin to use his foot to open a trash can bin! Ryan did the exact same thing with Santa when she was Nolan's age.....and guess what? She wouldn't even get close to him still this year without Rob right by her!! Ohh!! I just want to squeeze that little "Nolie"!!
Thanks for the Christmas greetings. Your Nolan is a character, who would have thought he could be so sneaky!
CUTE! I did the same thing on my blog, (christmas greeting)! Nolan is so adorable!
You all are such a cute family. Merry Christmas to you too!
Cute pictures! Our fridge will miss you but we definitely understand. We feel the same way about Christmas cards. Have you considered karate for Nolan. He can really kick his leg high! The Santa pic is classic! Rocky was the same way at that age, but this year we had to pry him OFF his lap because he was talking his ear off with gift requests. Lucky us!
fun pictures...i especially love the garbage can one. Fun pictures.
I have to admit that the picture of Justin's halo is quite "enlightening". I'm going to steal your idea of a Christmas card... just because we neglected to do one anyway. Glad that you're feeling better....
Thanks for the Christmas Card! You're smart to just put it on your blog. I love the hair cut. He looks so cute. Oh and the whole fire alarm thing is hilarious. :)
What cute pictures...can't wait to see you guys!!!
Great pictures. Temple square is amazing the way they wrap each tree in lights...awesome! Your little boy makes me laugh with how busy he is...are you mentally preparing for 2?
What a good idea, I think I will do the same for my frinds, thanks.
