We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Christmas Eve we got to spend with our little family. We had Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner and chocolate fondue for dessert- the boys loved it. Then we read the Nativity story, opened up pajamas and one present from their cousins. It was a great night. Steve and I stayed up and watched White Christmas which is one of my very favorite Christmas movies!
Christmas morning we told the boys they had to get up when the clock said 6 something- and they obeyed- yay! They were thrilled with all of the Legos that Santa brought them and we had a really enjoyable morning! We had homemade pop tarts for breakfast….. and mid morning snack ….. and lunch- hey it wouldn't be Christmas without a little sugar high!
Then Steve and I and Cohen built Legos all day… talk about some assembly required! But the boys had a wonderful day!
We were super lucky because Christmas night my whole family came down and spent the rest of the week with us- it was so much fun! We had a big Christmas dinner, opened more presents and watched Christmas Vacation. That week was full of fun. The boys went to go see the Hobbit, the girls got a girls night out, The boys watched BYU's bowl game…. not so great. We went out to eat at Red lobster and Buffalo Wild Wings and went swimming at the Rec center. Uncle Danny and Steve took the boys fishing for their first time/ really just Uncle Danny! The boys loved it!
Steve made up a Christmas Jeopardy game on the last night that everyone was here and it was so fun, and then we finished the night watching the Lone Ranger!
It was a fun packed week.
