Christmas

Christmas was great this year. I can't believe it has come and gone. That is one thing I don't like about Christmas, you plan and plan for this holiday and then in one day it is gone. But we do have the memories and this year we made many.

We started off on Christmas Eve in Heber for the Edwards family party (no pics, I spaced taking pictures). We had some yummy food, some fun games and a special visitor. We then made our way to Collin's parents. There we had some more yummy dinner, by the time I was done with this dinner, my tummy ached so bad, the thought of eating made me nauseated. We did a little program, Cooper sang "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth," I didn't even know he knew it. It was darling. And then we started the present opening, the kids got spoiled as usual and so did we.


On Christmas morning, Collin and I got a unexpected Christmas gift, the kids slept until 7:30, we actually had to wake Bode up. This is amazing! Bode never sleeps past 6:30. We couldn't believe it, it was fabulous. Cooper was so excited to see what Santa brought him and Bode and Peiton just loved unwrapping everything. Bode did his share at unwrapping almost every one's presents.




We spent the whole day in our jammies, having naps, watching movies and just vegging. It was awesome. We finally did get dressed and headed to my parents for Christmas night activities. We has some more yummy dinner and did a little karaoke while the kids ran around wild. This year for Christmas gifts we drew names and instead of buying a gift for that person, you had to go and do something with that person. It could be whatever, go to a movie, help that person if they needed help with something or just spend time with each other. My mom and dad spoiled us too, our trip to California this past October was our Christmas, and they still surprised us with some more gifts, one being the coolest, a scrapbook of our trip to California, it is awesome.




Like I said before, I can't believe this Christmas is over, we had a good one and I guess now that Christmas is all down it is time to move on to those New Years Resolutions, which are always so much fun to plan. I hope all of you had a great Christmas and now have a Happy New Year!

Hanging out in your jammies with your kids and vegging all day sounds like Christmas to me:0) it is always chaos for us since we have to go up north and stay at someone else's house!!! Brandon has had it with that:)

Looks like you had a nice day! I love that idea of spending time with the person instead of the gift, that would be fun to do in Dan's family and then hear what everyone did!

You know, we had to wake up Graham - which never happens either. So strange to be able to sleep in till 8!!!! That was my best present!
