Christmas Eve
We went to my parents house for Christmas Eve dinner. My mom always has a fabulous meal prepared and the excitement is in the air waiting for Santa to come. My kids were so excited they could hardly stand it, and we could hardly stand them (just kidding)
We laughed when we looked over and saw Cameron "hanging" with the cousins
When we got home, it was time to open new pajamas, robes, and slippers
We carefully placed the cookies, milk, and carrot for rudolph by the fire! Then off to bed, except for Mallory who was determined to "catch" Santa this year. She kept on sneaking out of her room to see if he was here yet. FINALLY, she fell asleep after we convinced her Santa would not come if she was awake.
Christmas MorningI don't think the kids could have been cuter. They were so excited to see all their new toys.
Mallory got her barbie house
Lindsie got a new wakeboard
and a hot pink IPOD
Peppermint, the elf from Breakfast with Santa, left Mallory her "poofy skirt" she asked for.
Yea: XBOX and Rockband!
Troy got his ride-ripper 360 and a magic kit
This was priceless!
The kids were so excited to give dad his gifts. Lindsie helped pay for all her gifts this year and was very excited to participate in the "giving" part of Christmas. She noticed Rick was in terrible need of new scriptures. She was more excited over getting him new scriptures than she was about any other gift this Christmas. She is such a sweet girl with such a BIG heart.
Troy playing with his new tech deck ramp
Rick surprised me with a new Flip video camera. It even has a picture of me waterskiing on the front of it.
Are we surprised to see Mallory in her swimsuit and poofy skirt?? No, of course not, just what we all love to do: hang out in our swimsuits on Christmas day!
We just stayed in our jammies all day and jammed out with Rock Band!
It was so nice not to have to go anywhere the whole day. Family and friends just came to visit and we ate and played with all the fun new toys.
The funniest part of the whole day was watching my mom, who just informed us that she has always wanted to play the drums, rock out with the family. I never knew my mom dreamed of being a drummer. She was quite the musician when she got a hold of those drum sticks!
Funny, cute, little Grammy on the drums!
