Christmas Traveling

Even though we got 10 inches of snow, we were able to drive safely to my parents house on Sunday afternoon.  We got there in time to play in their snow.  They have the perfect hill for sledding in their backyard.  The kids LOVED it.






Of course my silly brother didn't see the need to bother with a jacket...

We ate our traditional taco dinner for supper and then we also had a special family home evening where we shared the service we'd done for each other throughout the year.  (We exchange names for service each year.)  Then each of the married couples shared their "How We Met" story which was fun to hear and reminisce.

After reading the real Christmas story, Logan had had enough waiting around to open presents and had very little trouble convincing everyone else to jump on the bandwagon, so instead of waiting until the next morning, we just jumped right in and started with presents that night.

It was nice to see Ian back to 100% and able to enjoy this round of presents the most.

One of our favorite Carolina fans. :)

 This girl totally had the best reaction to her presents...EVER!!!


 Of course, we had more time playing in the snow, a walk to the creek, a couple of runs to the store, lots of family time, chats, visits, games, wii time and much more.

This was likely my favorite gift from Christmas.  Logan got these great pajama pants from my Grandma.  They are Spongebob pants that have the phrase "Where's the booty?" written all over them.  It just makes me laugh every time I think of them.  I'm seriously going to try and find a pair of my own.  Just for kicks. :)

It was a great holiday from start to finish.  Now on to our next celebrations--New Year's. :)

We loved having everyone together for Christmas! Our house is much too quiet now. :(

That does look like a perfect hill for sledding! How fun!
