Merry Christmas

We had such a fun Christmas with the kids.  Since Christmas Eve was on Sunday we did some activities on Saturday.  We watched a movie and ate Chinese food at my parents house and hung out there that evening.  We went to church Sunday morning and then went to Mark and Paige's house for Christmas Eve dinner with Craig's brother's families. Mark and Paige cooked up a super yummy prime rib and the rest of us brought side dishes.  After dinner we read through the nativity while the kids acted it out.  It was fun to have the kids be old enough to be able to start doing that.  Brooklyn was so proud to be an angel and to hold the star.  When we got home we got the kids in their Christmas jammies and set out the cookies for Santa and got them to bed.

Christmas morning McKay was up fairly early and we did our best to hold him off, once he got too antsy Craig went and woke Brooklyn up.  She was just fine waking up once she remembered it was Christmas morning.  She was so excited running down the stairs. Santa filled everyone's stockings (including mommy and daddy's since Santa forgot theirs last year), he also brought McKay and Brooklyn a play kitchen.  They had so much fun opening up presents, Brooklyn especially loved that she got to help McKay open his.  After opening up presents we played for a while and then headed over to my parent's house for brunch and then to talk to my brother Tucker who is serving a mission in Arizona.  I would say that overall we had a wonderful Christmas, we are truly blessed.
