Christmas 2008

We had such a nice day. Christmas Eve, Drostan's Mom and her husband Mike came over for dinner. Of course I had to have a blonde moment and as I was buying the last minute things for dinner, I locked my keys in the van, clear across town and Drostan had to come and bail me out so needless to say, we didn't eat until almost 7. We read the Christmas story from the Bible and wore the costumes my mom had made for us last year and then got the kids in bed so Santa could come. We finally fell into bed around 12:45am and got woken up at 7 to go open presents!

We always line up on the stairs, youngest to oldest...

The kids had a lot of fun. Kyle's favorite gift was a huge Dinosaur Lego set...

Dallin got a HUGE stuffed tiger...

...that he had on his back the rest of the day.

And Megan got a dog that barks and rolls over. She was in heaven!

Jaron had so much fun opening the presents...

...and playing with his new blocks.

Drostan got a new trainer for his bike so he can start doing some spinning in the garage during the winter and mom got a bunch of books and some money for some new clothes. 

Last year, we started a tradition of putting some presents for Jesus into some little golden boxes. They were things that we would try to work on during the year and it was fun to see how we did. We made some new commitments for this next year and I hope we do a bit better this time.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!!!
