Christmas Day!

Our Christmas was absolutely wonderful! We got up around 7:30 when Kaylee got up, and Carson was up shortly after. We read a story about the meaning of Christmas and watched part of a recent Music and the Spoken Word that had a great song called, "The Friendly Beasts". I want to make some type of tradition for Carson and Kaylee so they will know the true meaning of Christmas and not focus on the gifts so much. But it didn't take long and Carson was asking to open presents....so we made it quick, and headed for the front room to see what Santa brought our family.

Kaylee got this cute hat from Grandma Karen...she made it herself!
Later that day after Nick's parents headed home, we headed North to see my family. We spent the rest of the evening with them, opened more presents, and had another yummy Christmas dinner. I think I have eaten more the past few days, then I have the past month!! But OH, it has been yummy!
Kaylee got lots of fun presets, including some baby dolls from both grandparents! And Books, lots of books...Grandma Brower gave Carson a sleeping bag, flashlight, and book with a CD of her reading a book to him...it was so cute!!
We stayed the night Thursday, and Friday morning headed up to Rexburg Idaho to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Edstrom. The roads were horrible, and it took us about 1 1/2 longer than normal to get there, but we finally got there! Carson didn't take long to find the room of toys, and this stroller that kept both Carson and Kaylee entertained for awhile!
Kaylee was quite attached to Grandpa Brower this weekend...it was so cute to see her cuddle with him.

It was a nice visit with my Grandma....we ate. played cards, and chatted. It was nice and relaxing...which was better than the ride home...the roads were still horrible. But we made it home eventually...

Our Dirty Dirty Van...and the ride would have been a little easier, but our window washer fluid spray things were not working...so that made it an interesting trip!

One last thing...I wanted to share this cute picture of Kaylee in her Christmas Dress...isn't she precious!?!?!?!
