Christmas 2010

It was a crazy and very busy week. Dad and Christine flew into town on Saturday December 18th. On Sunday we headed to Landon and Cristy’s church for the blessing of Kaymbria then that night Jeremy the kid and I headed to Jason and Tawnie’s house for the annual South Christmas get together. I took Monday off due to Jeremy almost doing a side job, but in the end he didn’t so we decided to just hang out with each other and the kids, but before Dad and Christine headed up to Powder Mountain to stay the week in the condo we met up at Crown Burger for lunch. Tuesday through Friday I worked and Jeremy worked at night.

Christmas Eve

On Friday December 24th Mountain America closed at 3:00 pm and so Jeremy headed off to work while I got me and the kids ready to go to meet Dad, Christine, Landon, Cristy, their kids, Brooke and Logan for Chinese. So we went to our regular place Chinese Gourmet on 45th and State. It was really nice getting together and enjoying each other’s company while eating Chinese and it was quite busy. After dinner we headed to Brooke and Logan’s to exchange Christmas presents. Jeremy, the kids and I gave Christine a Rooster Calendar and Dad the Fathers to Faith book. Jack got a Mouse and more book that is really cute, Abi a cute little mouse to go along with the book, Jeremy a Grilling BBQ cook book and me a new book called Matched that is supposed to be as good as the Twilight and Hunger Game Series. I am really excited to read it. To see pictures (as I was a dummy and forgot the camera) go to Logan & Brooke’s blog.

Thank You, Dad and Christine for the present and everything else in between. It was really good seeing you both and I hope you had a safe trip back home. We Love You!

After getting home we had the kids open their magic pj’s for Santa to come and once we got them opened and on we got the kids ready for bed.

Cute magic pj's.

Once they were snuggled in their beds we headed to the family room to get it ready for Santa to come. We put all of their regular toys in the den/middle bedroom and not 5 – 10 minutes later Santa stopped by and dropped off the big gifts from the work shop. Although we had to take the toys out of their “protective” covering it was really exciting to set them out for the kids to see in the morning. At about midnight Jeremy and I finally went to bed not a creature stirred not even Abi herself.

Abi got a B Zany Cube and Jack got a Radio Flyer Rocket

As the stockings were hung with care, Jeremy got Men in Black II and Larkyn got the new Keith Urban CD.

Christmas Day

Jeremy and I decided to get up at about 7:30 to open presents, well we didn’t quite get up until 8 then we woke the kids up and showed them the family room. They weren’t really sure what was going on. In the end Abi crawled over to the side of the couch and found an old toy that I forgot to grab and she ended up playing with that toy than the NEW one she got.

We then got ready to head to Jeremy’s parents house for breakfast and in the end we invited Dad and Christine as well before they had to fly out and head back home. We had Bacon, Waffles and eggs. After having breakfast and hanging out and enjoying the day we then headed to Mom’s house for Linner (Lunch and Dinner).
