Our wonderful Christmas Holiday!

We had such a great Christmas! The kid's slept in until about 10:00, which was nice because we have all been pretty tired! This year I looked at Christmas as wow it came fast! Way too fast, and I was not even close to being ready! I took 5 days off work for the Christmas Holiday, and another 5 days off for the New Year Holiday. So a day before the huge snow storm, which was about 4 days before Christmas, we took the kids to the Salt Lake Temple to see the lights, it was a perfect night! The night started off by getting an awsome parking place, which was right in front of the south entrance, then it wasn't too cold, it was the warm before a storm feel, it was great we looked at all the lights and took lots lots of pictures. The kids were in a great mood, because they weren't cold. Then Christmas Eve was really cool my kids were so excited when we told then they could open 1 present. (As if they don't know what it will be, its the same thing every year....P.J.'s) They must have forgot, because they eagerly opened their gift. They were surprised and happy it was pajama's, or just really glad that they got to open a present, not caring what it was. They ran to their rooms to put on their new P.J's, then we made cookies for Santa, while watching "A Christmas Story" a family favorite! We stayed up kind-of late, we watched The Breakfast Club before heading off to bed about midnight. In the morning the kids were very excited, they woke us up, to see them open their presents. We also went to lots of movies and lots of parties. It was allot of fun, but I'm also a bit sad and a bit glad it's over. Well until next year! Merry Christmas!
