The Best of Christmas in Denver

Christmas PJs for all the cousins!
and Uncle Mark too.
and Mom and Dad. 

Sleeping Under the Christmas tree on the night before Christmas Eve - a Maxwell Family tradition!

Getting to see Maxwell Studio up and running and doing extremely well!

Sledding! (where, luckily, they actually had a decent amount of snow since the boys got snow tubes from Santa for Christmas.)


Swimming at Grandpas Hotel

BFFs (Jack & Amee - Mom's best friend's kids; makes as good as cousins and Colton and Amee are practically twins since they were born just 14 hrs apart)

Spending time with Great Grandma Likely (who is 102) and Grandma Barbie and Grandpa Bob (who just moved back to Colorado from Portland)

Sleepover with Matt and Layna!  Pizza, video games and 3D movies, what could be more fun?!

Christmas Nativity Pageant - another Maxwell Family tradition!
Mary and Joseph
 the Angel
 the Wisemen
 the Shepherd
The whole cast

And then of course, there was Christmas itself, but that will have to another post . . .

A proud day for mom

You try to teach your children how to be good, how to be nice and how to make good choices.  And even at a young age, you wonder if any of it is sinking in.  But, for now, I am happy that my eight year old has made one important decision that I can be very proud of (although, with Corbin, I have little doubt that he will almost always make good choices). 
Corbin was recently baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and has taken upon himself the name of Jesus Christ.  He will now be held accountable for all of his choices.  I hope I have taught him well.  :)

Corbin is genuinely kind-hearted and has the sweetest spirit.  He is obedient, is always giving compliments to his mom, and tries to help his brothers.  He understands things far beyond his age and is an eager learner of things temporal and spiritual.  We are so blessed to have him in our home!  Corbin was anxious and excited for his baptism and so happy to have his dad perform this ordinance and share this day with him.


And so many people were there to support him! 
I know he felt very loved.

Best primary teacher ever:

Best Buds:

Awesomest Bishop (who has helped us in so many ways):

And family from near and far:

 Corbin is so blessed to have so many great priesthood holders as examples to follow!

We are so proud of you, Corbin!  We love you!
