Christmas this year was amazing. I thought I was ready to have my own Christmas at home and have grandparents come to us. I was totally wrong. It was so so fun being at my families home this year. And it was awesome last year when we were with Wade's family. Next year we will be in Reno again because my brother Reilly is getting home from his mission like a week before Christmas. Anyway, this year being home with my parents and Macy was awesome.
Christmas morning we all woke up at like 630 or maybe even 6. Anyway, Brooklyn was really excited to go see the Cinderella dress that Santa brought her. That is what she said upstairs before we even went down. Smart little cookie. She was sure Santa would bring it to her. Thank you after Halloween clearance...Santa delivered!
The kids immediately went to their Santa gifts and started playing right away. This is just a picture of Weston or (Brooklyn) opening one of Weston's gifts.
This picture couldn't make me smile any bigger or make me feel any happier :)
These were Weston's Santa gifts: A race track and a rolling backpack...but for some reason you can't see it in the picture. Plus of course his stocking that Santa fills.
Santa brought Brooklyn a whole baby set. And her Cinderella dress but I had to put it in a bag so she could open it and freak out! And she did!
Santa brought Brooklyn Tinkerbell and The Great Fairy Rescue and Weston, Toy Story 3. Plus he stuffed their stockings with other fun gifts.
Santa knew Weston would love this gift because it is a hit when we are playing at Dani's house. My parents spoiled us rotten too! My parents (or my mom) had tons of presents for the kids and Wade and I got spoiled too. It was so much fun!
We also got to talk to my brother. Actually we talked to him the day after because he had a baptism on Christmas day. It was so so so good to talk to him. He has a Spanish accent when he speaks English. He is working hard, spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, baptizing some that he teaches, and enjoying his time and work in Argentina. I really missed him. And he is fluent in Spanish and Wade and Reilly spoke for a good 5 minutes all in Spanish.
Speaking of Reilly....my mom's bff gave her this ornament. It is a picture of my mom and Reilly before he walked into the MTC. Such a special and neat treasure.
I had to throw this picture in. Blake, Winter and Chance spent Christmas in UT with Chance's family but this is a picture of Blake Christmas morning. He is such a cute little guy and I love him!
Did I ever mention that Weston has a crush on minnie? Well he does. He loves Mickey too, but he gets giddy and freaks out when he sees Minni. It is super cute. So I had to get him something Minni related without going girl on him! He is obsessed with this cup!**The rest of Christmas we watched movies, played with all our toys, and ate a delicious Christmas dinner. It was blissful.
*Oh and Santa spoiled Wade. He got a plane ticket to North Carolina to go see his bestest friend who is at PA school at Duke. He is going in February and he couldn't be more excited or think is wife is any cooler ;) I am excited for him!
***Santa got me tons of clothes, watch, gift cards to go shop, sun glasses, jewelry, tights, and an Ipod arm band thing.
