On the 23rd we had to take our traditional trip to see the reindeer to make sure they are getting prepared for their big night!
Christmas Eve brought hyper kids and lots of food to eat!! We skyped with the Henze clan in Utah to open up the Christmas Eve gifts we exchange. It probably puts a bit of a damper on their end but we love it here! My kids are happy to see the cousin whose name they drew open their present they picked! Good times.
On our end we faithfully tracked Santa on Norad, opened our Christmas Eve pj's, read the Christmas story from the scriptures, and made sugar cookies for Santa.
Big morning arrives!
Brylee opening her baby doll from Santa...
Ethan opening his kung zhu battle arena and accessories from Santa..
Alexis has been dreaming for months of having ORANGE Converse shoes and asked Santa for them. He came through!!
Had a great morning opening the rest of the gifts as well. Lucky me...the kids didn't get up until after 8am! Here are a few shots from the morning..
After presents we had a yummy bacon and eggs breakfast and then went and saw the movie Tangled (super cute!) Came home and played with toys and had a yummy turkey dinner. Apparently I messed up though because we had no dessert!! So next year I owe Alexis a really big, really yummy dessert!
Until we meet again Christmas!!
