Christmas...again!

We got to do another version of Christmas yesterday!  After eating another Monkey Bread for breakfast, Gma Karen and Papa came up from Holden to spend the day with us.  We gave them their presents, which was a seat warmer and a framed family tree picture that we had made for them.  Uncle Ryan was also in town to pick up Taylor and Chase from the airport, so we got to spend the day with them too!  After Ryan's kids got here, they opened up their presents from everyone and we all headed up to the Classic Fun Center in Layton to party!

We had so much fun skating, and the kids got to use their scooters and we borrowed a neighbors wiggle car for Livy.  She loved it!  She spent the whole time on that thing!  Carson loved using his new Y-Fliker scooter.  They also played on the bounce houses and we also got a game of laser tag in too!  We enjoyed some yummy pizza for dinner.  It was such a fun time!

There was hardly anyone there which made it even more fun.  The roads were horrible though and going home was a bit scary, but we made it safely home.  Ryan and his kids were able to stay the night with us, while Ted and Karen headed towards Boise for a wedding.  It was great to be able to have basically another fun Christmas day with family!

Christmas Day!

The rest of our Christmas day was very relaxing and enjoyable!  The kids headed out to play in the fresh snow before it was even lunchtime.  They wanted to try out their new snow gear!  Here are a few pictures I took of them getting ready to play.  It was so bright outside, I used my 50 lense and shot these in manual, and I love how they turned out!  I also took a few pictures of Preston since he is 3 months old now (See future post).  

After playing in the snow we all got cleaned up and spent the rest of the day just playing with the new toys.  Kaylee did some painting using her new art apron.  The kids also tried out the new playdoh set.  I put a ham in the crockpot for dinner, and Kaylee helped me cut up carrots.  Gma & Gpa Brower and Chris came around 5:30 and had dinner with us, which was super yummy!

 After dinner, we watched the DVD I had made of our Thanksgiving weekend.  We also played Carson's new Scrabble game.  Then we had Gma & Gpa open their gifts.  Ris, Tiff, Chris, and I went in together and bought them a Heater Buddy.  We also got Gpa a new BYU Jacket and Mom a candle set.  We gave Uncle Chris his own bag of Granola that he likes!!

It was such a wonderful Christmas and I couldn't have asked for anything more than seeing my kids happy and spending time with family!
