Christmas

We kind of procrastinated our family picture this year. So we took pictures right before church the Sunday before Christmas to get out card out this year. With our cruise and the way Tyrel's schedule worked he wasn't home for three weeks straight so we got the pictures done quick. Then a few days before Christmas Tyrel's Granma and Aunt hosted a Christmas pancake dinner. So me and the kids headed over and had fun with Tyrel's aunts, uncles, and cousins. Then Tyrel had to work some of Christmas Eve so everything started that night. He got home at about 6:30 and then his two brothers and mom and dad came over later that night. We ready the Nativity story, opened pj's, and left cookies out for Santa. Christmas morning was spent opening presents and eating breakfast. The kids were happy and excited for every present. Peyton is at that fun age where everything she tears open gets a huge grin and wide open eyes!! We then headed to church for sacrement and came back to watch football and eat yummy food!! We decided on more new year's type food for Christmas day. So we just snacked on all the appetizer favorites. My kids got to enjoy their Christmas presents in all their glory for the 1st time because we weren't somewhere else. We then got to all enjoy talking with Sackett on his mission. Then that night Tyrel and I cleaned up and packed to leave for Arizona in the morning!!
