Christmas Day with our Families

We spent the early afternoon with the A's and Angie and her family.  Mikayla was so excited to have a white Christmas.  Angie called and told us to bring up the boys' snow clothes.  The boys and Mikayla went out and played in the snow for a little.  They had such a fun time!  We munch on some snacks and looked through some picture books.  Amy was with her family so it was really quiet.  We enjoyed relaxing and hanging out with the A's.  Around 5:00 we went over to mom and dad's.  Mom fixed an amazing spread of food.  Everyone brought something yummy to share.  Shan made the three layer jello which is a true act of love.  She even made a shortbread sugar cookie.  After dinner some of the kids went out to play in the snow while we were doing the dishes.  Then we exchanged gifts.  







Mom and Dad gave the boys each a lego Star Wars set and a Nike hoodie.  Bud's family had our family this year.  They bought the boys Hulk and Captain America to go with their new Disney Infinity for the WiiU.  They were very excited about their characters.



Last year I tried to buy Shan the Chick-fil-A cow calendar but they were sold out.  So the first week in December I went to the Chick-fil-A in AF but they were already sold out!!  So I had some errands to do in Sandy and luckily the Chick-fil-A in Sandy still had calendars left.  She LOVED it!!!  When I gave it to Matt, he didn't see the humor in it.  But Shan's reaction was exactly what I was hoping for.  She was very excited with her cow calendar.  We gave the C's a marble ramp with some marbles.  We ended up staying until 10:30 because it was so nice to just sit around and visit.  What a great Christmas!

Mom and Dad gave each family a pair of Fisher Price binoculars for all the animal watching we like to do.  Lily loved them!!!  Tanner really liked the toy mom and dad gave him.
