Here are some candids of the boys. 
I couldn't get Max to look at the camera.
Perhaps Max's bad attitude was a direct result of the fact that earlier that morning I FORCED him, against his will, to sit on Santa's lap at our church Christmas party. I've been prepping him for the santa photo op for months now. I've been reading him Christmas stories and talking up santa's good qualities. Every time he sees a picture of santa, he says "santa's really nice mommy." All my efforts did not pay off, as is evidenced by the picture below.
As we were walking out, I said "Max, you are supposed tell santa what you want for Christmas." He stopped crying, turned to face santa, sniffled twice and said "uh, I want a backhoe loader and some candy". Then we left. p.s. max has an intense infatuation with backhoe loaders. i barely know what they are and had to reference his truck book to make sure i was buying him the right thing...

These pictures are the best. That is one great ward party Santa Clause. Ian is growing up so fast!
Mark went through a tractor phase. I learned the names and jobs of every different tractor. :) Boys are fun. Love the pictures!
That family picture cracks me up! We tried for family pictures yesterday too, but are going to need a second attempt. Your boys look so much bigger than when we saw them! They are so cute! Dallin and Aubs would love to play with them!
LOL. Oh man. The look on your face! If I had a nickel for every time I looked like that...
love the picture with Santa, where Santa is the only one smiling. CUTE.
You should totally use the first picture at the park for your Christmas card. That would be hilarious. I love everybody's expression, but especially yours.
I'll call you next time I head to the movies by myself. My escapes are always last minute, so I feel dumb calling.
