So this year Santa sent us an elf, the kids named her Crystal and had a blast looking for her everyday. Most days she left them a note encouraging them to be good. It was fun to see how excited they were.
The first night they each got to hold her and introduce themselves.
A couple of weeks before Christmas Daniel's oldest sister, Emily came to visit. We had dinner at Daniel's parents house. It was really good to visit with her.
Christmas Eve we went up to Great Grandma Lemon's!
We had a really good time eating, opening gifts, playing with the toys, visiting with family. We ended up staying a lot longer than we planned, but it was worth it.
Great Grandma gave everyone dollar store "nerf" guns and other shooting like toys. It was fun to have a little war with them.
On the way home everyone got really tired, so we didn't get to do the other things I had planned. But I was really glad we got to spend some good time with Great Grandma. The girls were still awake, so we let them open one gift before bed.
After Santa came.
| Amber got earrings and then while we were in St. George she got her ears pierced. |
| Preston and his rescue bots. He loves them. |
| Sydnee with her barbie jeep. |
| The kids in their new robes! |
After the madness of opening gifts. Daniel's parents came over and we had breakfast with them. We then packed up and drove to St. George to my parent's house.
The kids were excited to ride their new scooters, since we had too much snow at our house. We went to the St. George temple and the town center to look at the lights. The kids also had a blast riding the side by side. We had so much hanging out and relaxing. Unfortunately I slept most the time because I was not feeling well, due to the baby growing inside me.
