Christmas 2010

I am always amazed around Christmas time. All of the wonderful music, lights, and festivities. The MAGIC in the air. Our girls have been so much fun this year. So excited for Santa, and the thought of presents under the tree.

On the 23rd, we took the girls down to the Layton park to see the lights. It's a lot like Thanksgiving Point, but on a much smaller scale. I didn't even know it was there, except that my sister-in-law just happened to be down there a couple of days before. It was free, so we drove through the lights 4 times, and walked through them twice. Only because the first time, Elle was alseep in the car, and as we were driving away, she woke up, so we turned around, went back, and did it again :) Totally worth it though. She loved it!! But before we went to the lights, we loaded up plates of goodies, and took them to the neighbors. I think we actually came home with more goodies than we gave out! We live in such a wonderful place :)

For only the 2nd time since we've been married, we spent Christmas Eve at home and didn't travel to any ones house. It was a blast! Chris and I made a full on Thanksgiving dinner! My first Turkey. It turned out so good. Home made rolls, and the works! It was a lot of work, but I love those turkey sandwich left overs!!

Well, santa definitely made it to our house! We have a couple of good little girls :)

Our stockings...
We decided not to buy a tree this year. We had to sell our 9 foot tree because it wouldn't fit in our new house. And I think I have Chris talked into a real tree for next year. So we just used a couple of small trees I have around the house. It was a bit of a let down, but something to look forward to next year.
The girls favorite things this year were....their Scooters, Barbie Electric Guitars, and Pillow Pets. They got so much stuff, that we'll be playing and experimenting for a while :)

My parents surprised us with a Wii. And Wii Fit Plus! Yeah!!! I'm so excited. I can't wait to go bowling :) ha..ha.. And to top it all off, it snowed today. The world is white again. Even if it is a day late. I'm loving it! Merry Christmas to all!
