MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE....
This Christmas eve was a little different for us.
We've never had our own Christmas Eve/Christmas since
we've been married. So we invited some other couples
over that couldn't go home for Christmas and the Missionaries
to join us for a nice dinner and gingerbread house making
to follow. With everybody's contributions to dinner it
was a very delicious meal!
Tyler and Addies little house turned out so cute!They worked very hard on it...actually Tyler worked
very hard on it and Addie worked really hard at
eating the candies. I didn't get pics of mine and Treys.
it kinda got destroyed before it was even finished.
And a Salt Lake Temple gingerbread houseconstructed very carefully by Elder Hansen
and Elder Christiansen. We had so much fun having
them join us for Christmas Eve. After all our guest
left we let the kids open up their Christmas Eve
presents which are traditionally...pajamas!!!
By this time of the night it was late and the
kids were sooo ready for bed which made it nice
for Christmas morning because they didn't get up
until 9 a.m.!
Looks like Santa did make it to our house this year!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
The kids had so much fun Christmas morning!
Tyler even surprised me this year...with a new sewing machine!!! I have to
admit I considered myself very spoiled.
I didn't see that one coming!
I didn't see that one coming!
And this was our Toy Story Christmas......Addie got her Jessie doll, Trey got the movie,
and they both got Toy Story juice bottles, buzz and woody shirts and
buzz socks to top it all off!
We had such a great Christmas. It was so relaxing,
and nice to have Tyler not stressed about school
or work. We took our time opening presents,
ate breakfast around 11:45 a.m. and had a very
nice lazy Christmas day. Then that lazy day continued
into the next day(Sunday) which made it even better!!
Then Monday rolled around and it was back to reality
for all of us...ugh.
