A very Merry...

Hatch Family Christmas...

Oh how I LOVE this family. I love that we have the BEST parents ever. I love that we are all basically the SAME age. (4 kids in 5 1/2 years!!) I LOVE that we are all the BEST of friends. I LOVE that I was friends with TWO of the three of my siblings spouses before they started dating. and Man O Man do I love all those babies!! What a cute bunch of babes.

The Hatch fam LOVES a good dose of friendly, healthy, COMPETITION!

This year was no exception. 

We started off the holidays with our traditional gingerbread competition. 

The Gamblings, and The Prestons

had some DARLING houses to show off at the end!

The Hatch's definitely pulled out the BIG guns this year...i was IN LOVE with the pond...the snowman was fishing for sweadish fish!

and the WINNER IS....

The Harding's of course ;)

if you know me or Ty, you know we play to WIN! 

haha we went for a barnyard theme this year.

On Christmas eve we FINALLY got back to our original tradition of going to go see the lights on Temple Square! 

We broke tradition for a few years because of babies and other reasons but I was thrilled to pick it back up this year! We hit up our families favorite... CROWN BURGER before and then rode the train to the temple. 

I was so thrilled that my cute Gramy Ann came along this year as well. She is one of my best friends and we love having her around!

unfortunately...I was LAME-O and didn't bring my camera. I'll have to bum a few of the sibs and add them latter but needless to say is was magical. I love christmas lights and I love the temple so it is bound to make a perfect combo!

On to the big sha-bang...

Tyson got a much need razor...a blu-ray player and few other gems.

Hazy got some DARLING boots,and a fun new walking toy to name a few.

and I was thrilled to get a whole load of SEWING supplies! I got a new sewing machine for my birthday so this was a real treat! 

I also got a few other things and the WAVE!! 

I have wanted one for a while because it looked like so much fun!

 Nate and Ceds had to jump on and try it out :)

We also got Band hero for the wii and had a blast with the Hatch family Band! 

Here are a few other highlights and pictures...

The absolute BEST parents in the world. 

I am one lucky woman to have been raised by these two beauties :)

don't worry I know her boots don't match...they were knew and she just couldn't wait to try them on ;)

Hazy was LOVING this walking toy until...

Ty made her start walking...haha she got a little nervous!

 Nikki claimed some "Hazy time" this trip. She adores Hazyl and little miss Joy adores her Auntie Nik :)

Overall it was a SUCCESS!! 

I loved watching Hazyl play with new toys and get so excited with all the fun going on. 

She truly is a Joy to us. 

we did our Christmas in Logan just the three of us and opened our gifts and the gifts from Tyson's family and grandparents...I'll post more on that later!  

XXO, 

Ty, Dan and Hazy
