Merry Christmas!

We loved spending Christmas Eve at home and had a wonderful time with Grandma and Grandpa Clark, Collette and Kelsy. We had a yummy dinner which consisted of ham, rolls, relish tray, crackers and dip and ended with eating cookies for dessert. After dinner was all cleared and put away we had a wonderful time reading about the real Christmas Story. Daddy read to us from the scriptures and the best comment of the night was from Braden: "Pregnant women should not ride donkeys." We all had a good laugh.

We have a tradition in our home where each child gets to open gifts that his/her siblings gave to them. This is the part where the kids go all crazy and hyper! Bailee received a sticker maker and was so happy she started making stickers right away. Braden got a racing set with motorcycles and Malia received a brand new baby!



Christmas Eve wouldn't be the same if we didn't get any fun Jammies to wear!

We had a great evening and ended the night by Bailee reading to us the book, The Night Before Christmas and left a plate of cookies for the man in a red suit to enjoy. I heard this year that Chocolate chip cookies were his favorite. Sorry reindeers no carrots for you this year, we ran out!

As the children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums danced in thier heads. Mama in her kerchief, and I in my cap, had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
Will Santa comes this year? We will found out!
