Christmas

Christmas this year was pretty low key. We stayed home and enjoyed it at our house with our little family. It was so nice being home and not at someone else home. It was nice not having to pack all our gifts down and then back up. We missed all the family parties but we get to have our own little parties and traditions. We were invited to Cole and Jackie's Christmas Eve to their little party with the Pilling clan. We had yummy ribs, potatoes and lots of other stuff. We played the present game and came back with some good stuff, the little kids played Don't Eat Pete. They loved it, it was pretty cute. Thanks for the fun night and invite Cole and Jackie.

Christmas morning was so fun. Range woke up way before Ryder so I had to keep him in my room. He kept trying to go downstairs so finally just after 8 I had him go get Ryder out of bed. Ryder was so excited to run downstairs. He was pretty pumped about the stuff he got from Santa. Range was a little confused on what was going on. After they got everything out of their stockings we started opening presents from mom and dad. This year we did a want, wear, need and read gifts from us. We started with the wear since I figured it would be the most boring for them... But Range was pretty stoked when he opened his and there was a football shirt in it, he started yelling "ootball shirt my ootball shirt" and started ripping off his jammies it was the funniest and cutest thing. It's the little things! We all got pretty spoiled. I finally got the Christus statue I have been asking for since we got married. lol We got a Jumping Jack Trailer last month and we treated that as our Christmas to each other. My parents came into town Christmas evening so we got together with them and Crystals family and had dinner with them.

 We also woke up to a white Christmas.

 The boys got flashlights and head lamps from Santa. They love them.

 My awesome shirt from Camie :)

 Our new Jumping Jack Trailer. We can't wait until Spring to use it.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and took time out of their busy lives to remember our Savior and why we celebrate Christmas. I'm so thankful for our lives and the joy and happiness we can have because of him. I'm thankful for this time of year for so many reason but mostly because of the gift of the Savior. Merry Christmas
