24 hours of Christmas!
Christmas Eve and Christmas were great around here. Ethan and Alex did a great job with our gingerbread decorating this year. Or did they?! It doesn't matter what it looked like, as long as they had fun and they did.
Christmas Eve is so anxiety provoking and exciting for everyone. They want to open their gifts and go to bed at like 5pm. We have to drag it out a bit. We had Chinese food for dinner and watched a movie or two, played lots of silly games, opened our secret santa gifts and 3/4 went to bed before 9!
"The sled is just so good and beautiful." Alex
Triston and Kedzie couldn't stop laughing while doing this non funny activity!
Some people were way more excited that we made them play games on Christmas Eve, than others. I'll let you figure out who didn't get coal in their stocking!
The puppies got some great toys from Grandma.
Our PJ's were just shirts this year.
Travis had Kedzie for secret santa.
Alex had Triston and I didn't get a pic of his random cat ring holder, but we must remember!
Merry Christmas Eve!
Kedzie had me and got me a mom/daughter heart necklace
Ethan had dad and got him lottery tickets and he didn't win a single dollar
Mom had Alex and he got a stuffy thing
Triston had Ethan
Santa sure did deliver!
I love this time of year when we get to participate in Light the World through the church and serve and love and give to others. I love giving to my family too. It was a hard Christmas for me, due to my mom being gone and my kids growing up, but I pulled it together around noon when we headed to the Bradford's for the rest of our Christmas fun. I'm grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, for his birth and his resurrection so that our family can be eternal.
We were lucky enough to be invited to Julie Brigham's house for Christmas dinner and talent show. Super fun to be with friends and do something different. We've never had Christmas dinner with anyone other than our parents, at our house. It was special and much needed for all, to get away for a few hours. We ate great food, played, talked, ate some more and ended with a talent show. Kedzie on the ukulele, Ethan with inappropriate jokes, Alex with the worm and singing with the twins, Travis with a card trick, Triston with his rubix cube and I danced to ice, ice baby! Super special. Everyone did something. It was awesome. We got home around 7pm and then immediately Travis had to do Kedzie's hair. It's now a beautiful rose gold color. Thanks to Mr. Claus for making the day so special. He really did almost everything this year. We wouldn't be as happy without him in our lives. We are blessed with the best dad and husband in the universe. Thank you Travis.
