We had an awesome Christmas this year. Grandma & Grandpa came up & stayed out our house. We were so lucky to have them all to ourselves Christmas morning! We woke up Christmas Eve to see snow, which add to the magic for the kids. Ruthie liked Papa holding her to see the snow outside.
We kept our tradition of bowling with the fam. We were supposed to meet up with Kyle & Megs but the weather did not permit that. So off we went to Jack & Jill's on our own. We had a great time, after I wiped away my bad attitude. I may or may not have been a bugar at first.
We then headed over to Carissa's where Larissa, Carissa, John, Mike & us all gathered our families. Monica couldn't make it & Lisa was here & headed back to Ephraim because of the snow storm. Russ stayed in St. George (don't blame him) & Tami & Melinda for apparent reasons. It was great getting together with everyone. Kelly & I have stayed home for Christmas since we had Ezra so we have not had the chance to be with my family in almost 6 years on Christmas. It was fun to do our usual tradition of eating & then having Santa, aka Grandpa Phil, come & hand out grandma & grandpa presents.
Ruthie was a hit. She gets passed around everywhere we go. People love to snuggle on her & can't get enough of her. Even Uncle Jason & cousin Jordan.
Then we went home, instead of looking at lights this year, to open our jammies & watch a Christmas movie that was wrapped with jammies. The kids, of course, got matching jammies. They look awesome in them. Wonder how much longer we can do matching. I will do it forever if they will let me. They watched the movie, sprinkled reindeer food on the ground, set out Santa's cookies & milk & wrote a sweet note & off to bed they went. The 2 older kids slept together in the downstairs family room since Grandma & Grandpa slept in Adde's room. We wrapped them in & off to sweet dreams we went.
