We have had a wonderful Christmas season! We have thoroughly enjoyed all of our time together as a family. Thomas and I both worked on Monday the 23rd. Then we ended up replacing the washer in our basement at the old house. It was a busy evening. The boys went to McKrays for a little get together and white elephant gift exchange party. Then we got them picked up, I went to Broulim's and then we did our traditional movie night in the living room. We loved it. We watched The Grinch. We started it pretty late, so we were all kind tired, but it was really good and we really enjoyed it. Leah made brownies and then brought them to us in the living room with new bowls that she bought for all of us from the dollar store. It was a wonderful night.
Christmas Eve morning we went to Rexburg and went sledding with the Gwilliam's. That was a lot of fun. Then we just spent the rest of the day hanging out, watching movies, cleaning up the house, playing games and having leftovers for dinner since we forgot to take the ham out of the freezer lol.
Christmas day was just great. I for some reason kept worrying about having enough for the kids, it being unfair, kids not being happy with their gifts etc, but it all worked out and everyone loved their gifts. It's been such a wonderful day. Kasen got new winter boots, an airsoft gun, some Special K cereal, lil bites, a new computer and a new sweats and sweater set. Some socks and candy. Layton got a scripture case, a lunch box, a sleep mask, new running shoes, some ear plugs, a running book, socks and some new joggers. Leah got clothes, markers, a volleyball necklace, a tumbler, gum, candy, socks, some new snow boots and a coloring book. I got Thomas a bike from FB market place, and a bunch of Costco clothes. I got a Roomba and a new pot and pan set which i'm loving it.
On the 26th we went to Saint Anthony and Trisha reserved their church for them. We met at 4, had dinner and played some games and played some bump. We exchanged our gifts and it was all in all a good evening together which was nice.
On the 27th we had Adam and Mari, Trisha and Jason and Chad and Christine all came for dinner. Thomas and I both had to work this day, but the boys got dinner in the crock pot and we ended up having a nice dinner and a good visit.
Today the 28th we had a good breakfast, then Chad and Christine headed to Montana to visit Christine's son Zack. They left and then we all just did our own thing for an hour or so. Then we went sledding over at Beaver Dick Park with the Gwilliams and Janae and her kids are in town. We pulled the sleds behind the trucks and it was alot of fun. We spent a couple hours doing that and then we went to their house and had tacos. Then Cal threw up and so we left shortly after.
