Christmas Morning

I took hardly any pictures of Christmas Eve or Christmas day. I am sad now. It was just crazy with so much going on. We did have a really great Christmas though. The 24th we shopped, shopped, ate, and then made a really yummy dinner. After we went looking at lights and then came home and put the kids to bed and started the wrapping. Because there was so much going on, we didn't even leave cookies out, make reindeer food, leave a letter for Santa. It's ok, we will feed Santa next year.

Wow, aren't we a good looking bunch at 630am? Haha. We had church at 9am (that should be illegal on Christmas) so we had to get up early so we could do Santa gifts, eat cinnamon rolls, and get showered and ready for church. Here we all are ready to see what Santa brought!
Santa brought Weston a Buzz. That's the only thing he ever said he wanted from Santa. Now they are bff's :)

I guess I didn't get pictured what Santa brought her :( Santa brought her a huge set of Disney Princess Barbies. There were 7 total. She said she wanted princess barbies...Santa listened. Then when she goes to her spot and sees them, she says, "Well I already have Rapunzel". We had to keep asking her if she was excited. She was such a dud. But then....she opened her stocking and about freaked out when she saw that Santa had left a big pack of cute undies and a Dora electric tooth brush. (Yes there were fun things like a cd, movie, treats, jewelry, ect in there too). Anyway, that is what she was excited about. After a few minutes she did get excited about all her Disney barbies. Funny girl!

One of the best parts of Christmas was actually going to church. I was a tad bummed that Christmas was on a Sunday because I knew that would mean a crazy morning, but once we all made it there it was amazing. The opening song had me in tears. I started crying when we sang the words, "Hung and suffered there". I have never felt so emotional about hymns before. I felt the spirit so strong and couldn't have imagined a better way to feel closer to Him on Christmas. I cried through every song actually. My brother also gave his homecoming talk as well. It was a really great Sacrament meeting. I decided I wish Christmas was on a Sunday every year.

After church we all got back into pj's and finished opening presents. Our family was definitely spoiled this year by every one. Thank you mom ;)

Later in the evening, my extended family came over, we had a great dinner, opened more presents and had a great time spending Christmas with family. And it was extra special that Reilly was there.
