Christmas morning was magical as always. The kids were excited about their surprises from Santa. Grandpa and Carter set up a camera to try to catch Santa and He dropped his hat right over the camera so it blocked everything! Maybe next year Carter!
Rylee was ecstatic with her pink balance bike.
Bri loved her new tent
Carter has been begging for heeleys for years and was super stoked about them! Mollie got an easy bake oven that I guess I didn't get a picture of.
Stockings were next!
Santa was even good to G&G Reed!
Everyones loot!
I was way excited for my instapot!
After gifts, we had a yummy cinnamon roll christmas tree breakfast!
Here's one from Christmas eve that wouldnt fit in the book. Grandma read the kids the nativity story from the bible while they got to act it out with the little people.
The day after christmas, me and the kids stuck around for a few extra days. We went to see the movie Ferdinand in the theater. It was so cute and the kids loved it!
One of the games we got for Christmas was Watch Your Mouth. We stayed up one night playing it with the kids. It made for some really good laughs. look at those teeth!
Chheeessse!!
The next day to kill some time we went to Twin Falls to see the Sorensons. It was so good to see Jenna and catch up for a bit. We didn't stay long because we were trying to beat a storm but I'm glad we made the trip.
I love how our kids can just pick up where they left off and have a blast playing together!
Once the craziness was over Chad and I got to head to the temple and it was so neat to come out of the temple and see the lights still on all around. It was beautiful! It may become a tradition!
All in all, we had a wonderful Christmas season and I'm so glad we could spend it with family. It was a little hard setting all of our traditions aside and make the sacrifice to go to Idaho but, again, I'm glad we did it for the memories. I've realized this year that people aren't around forever and we need to make the most of the time we have and not be selfish with our time. We are blessed and so grateful to our God who made this Christmas and every christmas possible through blessing our family financially to giving us his Son as a sacrifice. Merry Christmas!
