Christmas Morning

The kids were so excited for Christmas! We opened pajamas on Christmas eve and the kids went to bed pretty early to let Santa come do his job! They were very good kids this year and got exactly what was on their letter for Santa (except for the DS Jaye Lee wanted. I told him she was a little too young for it! Maybe when she is older!)

I couldn't believe how fast this room got destroyed! We tried to have them take turns opening presents so they could all see what each other got but it was a wreck by the end of the morning!

Christmas with the Losee Family

We had Christmas dinner at Dusty and Mar's house this year. We always have so much fun when we all get together. It was good to talk to Richard, who is serving his mission in Brazil. The time has gone by so fast...he will be home in just a few months! We surprised my parents with tickets to go pick him up! They were so excited! Neither of them have ever been out of the country, so it should be interesting! Anyway, we had an amazing dinner, shared Christmas memories, and opened more presents!

One of the favorite presents among all the kids were towels (you will see them in about every picture!)

Every year, we get together with Jared's family for Christmas brunch, but I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures to share. James and Christy were here for the Holiday season, so we had a lot of family get togethers while they were here (rock climbing, basketball, movies, dinners, and lots of games!)

I love my family!

Weekend Getaway!

The weekend before Christmas, we went to Tyson and Ceri's cabin in Mt. Pleasant. We went with the Gillen, Jackson and the Curtis families. It was so nice to get a way from the craziness of the Holidays and enjoy a weekend!

We put the kids to bed....

We all had so much fun! Thanks Tyson and Ceri for being so hospitable! We have been so blessed with such great friends!
