It has taken me a long time to write about Christmas. While the kids are home from school it seems like there is no time to get anything done. I kept singing the line from the Christmas song, "...and Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again!..." Then when the kids went back to school it took me 2 1/2 days to clean the house into semi-decent shape :)
We did manage to have a fun Christmas, and we did lots of playing with friends and cousins! We stayed home this year, but we got to spend time with both sides of our family. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents' house where we ate green chili burros, acted out the Nativity, and then Santa surprised us with a visit. I turned my parents' garage into a kids' party space with giant helium balloons, a table set for making crafts and plenty of space for them to run around. It was a huge hit and the adults enjoyed having a little bit quieter evening.
On Christmas Day we opened gifts and played and then Jarom's family came to our house for Christmas dinner. So we had a whole new group of cousins to play with that night.
The next day was purely dedicated to sleeping in, playing with our new toys and relaxing.
Dallin was a wise man in the Nativity. It was a pretty wild bunch!
Dallin was playing it cool and not rushing to give Santa a hug.
He was a little embarrassed to sit on his lap.
The whole family (but not a good picture)
Going through his stocking Christmas morning!
Just what he asked for -- a new skateboard!
And here is a video of the day after Christmas playing with his new Stomp Rockets.
