Christmas

We had a fabulous Christmas this year!

The best ever in fact!

 I of course had to get a picture of Brooke's cute Christmas dress!

 I like to call these... Santa's Little Helper

 Christmas Eve morning we made ginger bread houses.

 I hot glued the houses together the night before, and that made for easy decorating.

We were finished by about 8:45am

 Then what?

We made cookies for Santa

 We opened up a Wii from G & G Wheatley and the kids (and Vince) played all afternoon.

4PM

Christmas Eve Party at G & G Byram's

 Santa came!

 And once again, Brooke was not a fan.

But just as he was leaving, she ran up to him and gave him a big hug!

WHAT!?!

Santa gave Jack "Just what he wanted his whole life!"

Space Legos!

The kids did a fab little nativity

8PM

We headed home for bed

 Don't forget the cookies!

A little bedtime story

1AM

Jack and Brooke were having a sleep over in Brooke's room and nobody was asleep.

This will be a night we always remember, because we switched rooms about 3 times and nobody got any sleep the entire night.

7AM

Merry Christmas!

 Okay, I know he doesn't look excited, but it is because I made him pause for a picture!

This Lego guy was his favorite gift of Christmas.

The big guy came through....A BATCAVE!

Jack had only seen his Lego guy and the Batcave and exclaimed,

"This is the best Christmas EVER!"

Apparently Santa could have stopped there ;)

7:30AM

Merry Christmas Ivy

Next thing we knew it was time for church.

9AM

Who knew we could get ready for church in 15 minutes?

A little batcave action after church.

After church the kids opened their gifts from Me and Vince.

 We built some awesome Waffle castles, and they got a bunch of Chevron Cars (their favorite)

The kids opened "Ipads" from G&G Byram

We have already gone through 12 Batteries.

I need rechargeable ones badly!

Me:

I got a new car a few weeks ago, and Vince made it very clear that is all I was going to get. I assured him that was fine.

Well he surprised me Christmas morning with a really cute scavenger hunt where I found pieces to a fabulous night out on the town.

My mom to babysit

Money for a fabulous dinner

Tickets to the Zac Brown Band Concert in SLC

And a night in our exact same honeymoon suite at the Little America

I was so excited that I cried. Literally cried.

What a guy!
