Our Christmas Holiday!

My mom was supposed to come to our house for Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day,but all the flights were full and Grandma couldn't come. We were all dissapointed but still had a great Christmas. We made sugar cookies for Santa and had fun decorating and eating them.

Then we listen while Daddy read the nativity from the scriptures and Bailee read us the The Night Before Christmas. She is such a good reader and loved reading the story to us. We open up pajamas on Christmas Eve and of course mom had to take a family picture.


We were spoiled by Santa and family this year. Santa made the kids go on a scavenger hunt for their present. The kids thought that was so fun and found a Wii at the end. They were so excited and couldn't wait to try it out. What a fun game system and the games are pretty fun too. Braden got the Indiana Jones Lego game, Star wars lego game and Bailee got a princess game. Mom and dad got Guitar Hero World Tour and love rocking out!
I got a really great camera, the ones that professionals have and love taking pictures with it. I now need to learn all the tricks to it. We also got a keyboard so we can play the piano. I used to play but never had a piano to practice on. Now Im excited to learn some songs all over again. Thanks to Grandma Linda I now have a beautiful illustrated songbook of the hymns to play too.

Braden also got some lego sets, clothes, Robin hood DVD, Sword in the stone DVD, remote control car. Bailee got a MP3 player, Sleeping Beauty DVD, clothes, Barbies of Hannah Montana friends. Malia got mostly clothes which she was excited about. A toy vaccum, Barral of Monkeys, a baby doll, a ride on toy and a toy radio. Malia also like to unwrap the presents which was fun to watch.
We had a fun dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Clark Christmas day and enjoyed visiting with family and having yummy food. Grandpa always makes such yummy dinners and the coconut cake was to die for.
We headed down to Utah the day after and spent some time with my brothers and sister. We has a great time playing games and opening presents again.

We had a great holiday! We hope all had a Merry Christmas!

So did you guys have fun driving on those roads before Bountiful, the day after Christmas??? It was a nightmare for us that day! Driving in the snow, anyway.

Glad to hear you guys had a good Christmas. I loved the family picture in front of the tree. Did you get new Pj's too??? Glad you had a good holiday!

What a fun holiday. So glad you guys were able to have dinner with us. It got all of our minds off the disappointments of weather and full flights I think.
Glad you guys had a safe trip and were able to enjoy the family in Utah
