Linq to Xml Convert a list

I am having trouble wrapping my mind around how to do this in linq.

How can i convert this:

<mytags>
   开发者_StackOverflow中文版 <tag1>hello</tag1>
    <tag2>hello</tag2>
    <tag1>MissingTag</tag1>
    <tag1>Goodbye</tag1>
    <tag2>Goodbye</tag2>
</mytags>

to this

List<MyObject>

public class MyObject
{
    public tag1;
    public tag2;
}

---

Try this out:

string input = "<mytags><tag1>hello</tag1><tag2>hello</tag2><tag1>MissingTag</tag1><tag1>Goodbye</tag1><tag2>Goodbye</tag2></mytags>";
var xml = XElement.Parse(input);
var list = (from x in xml.Elements("tag1")
           let next = x.NextNode as XElement
           select new MyObject
            {
                Tag1 = x.Value,
                Tag2 = (next != null && next.Name == "tag2") ? next.Value : ""
            }).ToList();

This only works for scenarios where tag2 is missing, not the other way around.
