I am SOOO glad we ended up being able to come to Utah to spend Christmas with family!
Our parents always do so many things to make Christmas special and memorable for all of us...I'm scared to think that one of these years it's going to be my job to make it special for our little family!
Christmas Eve we all went out to breakfast and then to a movie. That night my mom made a feast for dinner and we ate and watched A Christmas Story, then we read Christmas stories, took turns sharing our testimonies of the Savior, read "The Night Before Christmas", and went on a drive to look at all of the Christmas lights.
Beck and Papa tracking where Santa was on the computer.
Milk and Cookies for Santa
Christmas morning gets better every year the kids get older. I had just as much trouble falling asleep as Beck.
Christmas morning we let the kids open Santa gifts and then got to Skype with uncle Dayne!!
My mom bought hats for all of us to wear while we skyped but Beck used the elf hats as shoes instead
between Santa and Grandparents these kids are SO SPOILED!!
Santa brought Beck some sweet mini-golf clubs - the mom elf thought it would be cool if Beck got a real club for Christmas but sent the dad elf into the sporting goods store to choose one and the dad elf went a little crazy in there haha. It was justified by only buying Quinn presents from the dollar store (Dane said he knows in the long run Quinn is going to cost him A LOT more money than Beck so we didn't need to feel bad for her) and she was just as excited for her presents as Beck was.
And if all that wasn't enough Ammy and Papa bought themselves a hotwheels for Christmas and got it out Christmas night. Yeah...spoiled!!
After we did presents, skyping with Dayne, and breakfast we headed over to Grandma Myrna and Grandpa Doug's house to spend Christmas day with them. They made an awesome lunch and we opened more presents and watched Christmas movies and played with all the kids new toys the rest of the day. I stink though I got no pictures!!
It was a wonderful day to be able to be together with family and celebrate Christ's birth.
