Christmas '09


We had a great Christmas this year and  were very blessed with everything we received!


Festivities started the night before with a nice dinner, watching old family videos of Christmas past...so funny, and slightly embarrassing in some parts...watching the nativity, listening to Christmas stories of other family members traditions and opening one gift, which of course were pajamas!


Christmas morning came bright and early at 6 a.m. Kylie was so excited she could hardly stand it. Jase didn't have a clue what was going on. One of the traditions in our family has been that the kids have to wait at the top of the stairs until our parents told us we could come down see what Santa brought. Here they are waiting.

Kylie wasn't going to waste a minute, she immediately dug right in

Jase still didn't have a clue what was going on.


Uncle Adam likes to give gifts that are outrageous to open. She found them at the very bottom after swimming through the phone book paper.



Kylie made off with a new "big bike", a computer, hair tools, art supplies, baby highchair, a giant Mr. Potato Head and clothes.

Jase also did well for himself getting a ball popper, his first set of tools (you can never start them too young), a bunch of cars, sippy cups and clothes.


The aftermath of it all. We had a great day and Jeremy even surprised with a new pair of haircutting scissors...which I love!!  Christmas is a wonderful time of year and I am so grateful we had a chance to spend it with my family! I love them so much! I am also grateful for the Savior, his birth and his life and the chance we have to truly reflect on that. That really is what's most important! 
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
