This year was a great Christmas. On Christmas Eve we made cookies for Santa. The hole time we were making the cookies Brooklynn kept saying "Santa coming to our home." She said it about 30 times. Danny and I just thought she was excited. We later found out that was not the case when we were up all night with her. She got up about 5 times crying and when we went in her room she told us that she was scared that Santa was going to get her. After making cookies we watched a movie together and then read the Christmas story. I love that our family is getting old enough to start making traditions. The kids went to bed and Danny and I had fun spending time together waiting for them to fall asleep. The next morning the kids got up. Poor Cameron still was sick and didn't really get to enjoy Christmas morning. He had a double ear infection. He spent most the day in bed except for when the drugs made him feel better. We got to see what Santa brought the kids. Then Had a very yummy Breakfast. At Breakfast Jadan had us all laughing. We had eggs over easy and when Jadan made the yoke come out he started crying that his egg had a hole in it. You had to be there but we laughed and laughed. After breakfast we opened presents. We let the kids play ( that includes Danny he loved Cameron's gift form Santa.) After playing we headed over to Carolyn's house where we enjoyed spending time with Danny's family. Then after that we went to Autumn's house where we got to enjoy time with my family. Lets just say we are partied out but loved spending time with our family.
On the 26th we went to Temple square to enjoy the lights. The kids favorite part of the trip was the trax ride up. My Dad's favorite part of the trip was the two flat tires on the way home with a added bounce of a ride in the tow truck! Ok that wasn't his favorite part but did it ever add to our evening. Watch out for the pot holes by Lehi!!!!
On the 27th we went Sledding with the Goldings. This was so fun. The kids loved going down the hill. We could not get Jadan to stop sledding. The min. he got up the hill, down he went again. Today is Sunday and I am taking a break from doing anything but relax. I'm thankful for this time of year when we get to spend time with family and take time to get closer to our Heavenly Father. I hope we have a wonderful 2009!
