Christmas Break!

Our Christmas 2012 in Pictures!...

CHRISTMAS EVE...

We started our Christmas Eve with Papa reading from the scriptures the story of Baby Jesus while the kiddies played with nativities.  Then we watched the movie!

Opening Christmas jammies...











Making sure Santa is covered with cookies and milk!...



Opening gifts from Nana and Papa and Aunt Jaclyn on Christmas Eve so they weren't too overwhelmed with gifts the next morning!!




Family pic... notice unborn baby girl already has a matching vest for next winter :)










CHRISTMAS MORNING...

Santa found us in UT!

















The kiddies opened their gifts first...



McKenna gave Adyson her very own barbies and Adyson gave McKenna a digital camera :)




Then they gave each other big hugs <3 












Then the adults opened up our gifts... Chris spoiled me with jewelry, and a bunch of running stuff!  Chris had said earlier that sometimes I'm a "little too bargainy with his gifts..." so I showed him and got him the tablet he's been wanting forever :)  It was fun to surprise him!

Then we skyped with Grandma and Grandpa Dalby and opened their gifts!...


The rest of the day we relaxed and napped until the evening when we went down to Great Grandma and Grandpa Baum's for dinner!  It was an AMAZING day and we were SO royally spoiled by all!

SNOW TIME!...

Before we left for UT all the girls could talk about was playing in the snow!  I think since McKenna had been watching so many Christmas shows she just figured that's what you do at Christmas!  Nana and Papa had gotten the girls coats and we went and got them some snow pant and gloves when we got there!  They were in heaven!  At least they were in heaven until they realized how cold it was :)









Nana promised she would make a snow angel... and... she did :)
















We went to Wreck it Ralph... so stinkin cute!...




We went to the annual $10 party and Great Grandma and Grandpa Baum's!  Emma gave Adyson a Minnie piggy bank!  Jaclyn gave McKenna an Easy bake microwave kit and a littlest pet shop!  Chris got a bag of doritos and told that it would make sense later... it did make sense when I got an olive garden gift card :)




The girls LOVED them some Gretchen time!


We went to Kangaroo Zoo and the kiddies had a blast jumping!...







We had dinner at Grandma Kay's!...






Fun things we did that are not pictured...

  • Chris and his dad went snowboarding!
  • A lot of nightly card games and a zillion Settler games!
  • Shopping!
  • Nana and Papa watched the girls so Chris and I could use our Olive Garden gift card!
  • Cousin and Sista time at Aunt Shanna's!
  • LOTS and LOTS of snow!
  • New Years Eve at the Fowlers!
  • I fell down the stairs and really hurt my tail bone... boo
Sigh... now it's all over... I HATE when it is all over!  Thank you to Nana and Papa and everyone else for making it PERFECT!
