Christmas Day!

We had our usual crazy, busy Christmas.  The kids came downstairs and opened their gifts and played for a little while.  Shaun's mom LaRae always has Christmas breakfast with us.  We have scrambled eggs with ham and green chiles and blueberry muffins.  Yummy!  She got amazing gifts for all of us.  Ipods for Emma and Spencer, Your Baby Can Read for Riley, an Ipad for me and an Xbox for Shaun.  Thanks LaRae, I LOVE my ipad!!

Then, it's time to get ready and go to my mom's house for food, family and gifts. The kids got tons of gifts! Emma loved her kid version of an ipad. Riley isn't too into opening gifts, but he had a great time playing with the wrapping paper and the toys after they were unwrapped.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Next Aunt Erin's house.  For more gifts and yummy food.

The Tramp

We got the kids a trampoline for Christmas this year.  We gave it them a day early.  To say that they loved it would be an understatement!  We all jumped and played for a while.  And then went inside to warm up.  Even Riley likes the trampoline!  We put a bunch of balls in there and played dodgeball and just had fun! 

Our Early Christmas Celebration

Every year we go to Grandpa Kevin and Grandma Jeanne's house to exchange gifts the weekend before Christmas.  The kids love opening their gifts, playing with their cousins and seeing Santa Claus.  This Christmas is extra exciting since it is Riley's first Christmas!  He wasn't too interested in opening presents, but he tried.  He wanted to play with all the toys and people instead!  And of course touch the tree and the ornaments!

Temple Lights!!

Every year we go to the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas lights and go in to the Visitor's Center and watch Luke 2.  The kids love looking at the temple and all of the lights.  Riley was mesmerized by all of them!
