Learning to make Sugar cookies...
Leta was so much fun this year. My parents got her some small gifts to open for the Twelve days of Christmas so by the time Christmas rolled around she was an expert present opener.
Christmas Eve Jayme's parents took us to the Chipmunks the Squeekual ( cute movie, but not as good as the first one) and like the Princess and the Frog movie Leta enjoyed the singing and dancing. Afterwards we went to Denny's ( We where celebrating Jayme's Birthday a day late). So by the time we got home Leta was asleep in her car seat, but luckily she woke up when we brought her inside so I had her open her special Christmas Eve present ( Pj's of course). Then it was time to read the Christmas Story out of the Bible and The Night Before Christmas Story, it was fun to pass on family traditions.
Christmas morning was equally fun. Only problem was I gave Leta her stocking to inspect while daddy woke up so when it came time to open presents it took some coaxing to get the stocking away from her. And of course she wanted to open mommy and daddies present first so then she was to excited to open anymore( we got her a cell phone put out by Parents, Awesome toy!!). But before long she had them opened and was happy with all of it.
Jayme and I opted not to get presents for each other this year since we had and elk butchered and car repairs to pay for. But the parents got us some awesome presents. Jaymes mom got me a cake pan with a lid, which I have been wanting for years, and it was even personalized! And some much needed Tupperware. My mom got me some new PJ's and some super cute slippers and some scrap booking stuff. Jayme also got some PJ's and slippers and from his folks a solar powered/ crank powered emergency radio. Leta of course was spoiled by everyone. She got a super cute Ladybug tent/tunnel from Grandma and Grandpa Allen. And From my Mom she got a shopping cart with groceries and a play milk carton that you put cookies into and when you drop them out it moos.
We tried to deliver cookies to everyone we where close to but money and time ran out. This year we where super blessed with goodies from friends we received everything from goodie plates and jams of all varieties to a blanket! Thanks to all our awesome friends.
All in all it was a great Christmas Season, but I am glad for downtime and normal life to resume.
Dido, time for some stress free time, wait we have kids it won't go away. O well at least we can relax a little.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you had a good Christmas.
That looks like you guys had a fun Christmas! After we got back from Salt Lake we took one look at our tree and chucked it and put all of our Christmas things away immediately. It's like, as soon as Christmas is over I want everything back to normal. We need to hang out soon!
