Christmas Morning!

Well we hope ya'll had a wonderful Christmas like we did. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning here at the house. This is the first year we didn't haul everything up to mine or Wayne's parents house. It was really nice to sleep in our own beds and wake up and not have to wait for anyone.
Megan and Kaitlyn woke up at their normal time of 7:30 am and were just sitting in their beds talking to each other waiting for Wayne and I to get up. They were so sweet to let Wayne and I sleep in (if we wanted). I am sure this will not last much longer, but I am going to enjoy it while I can. Ty on the other hand was so asleep that even after Wayne and I got up set the camera up and the girls being all giggly on our bed he didn't even crack and eye. I had to wake him up.

Wayne likes to go and "make sure that every thing came", but he is really getting the camera ready for their reaction. The kids walked in and the girls got all excited and Ty didn't seem to notice anything different. We had to show him his Lighting McQueen bean bag chair to get a reaction out of him.
We started off with opening one at a time, but that lasted one gift and it became a free for all. Megan and Kaitlyn both got the one gift they asked for from Santa which was a leapster and Ty got cars, cars and more cars.

Wayne and I had decided to get a gift we could both enjoy and bought tickets to the AMA super cross finales in Las Vegas. Now I know what you are thinking that sounds like a gift more for Wayne then me, but let me assure you that I am just as excited as he is. I can name nearly all the riders and I can even tell you what bike they are riding. We get to meet the riders as well, so we are really excited.
Well since that was our agreement I didn't bother to buy anything else for Wayne. He on the other had decided to break our agreement and bought me a gorgeous ring. I love it! I am still a little peeved that he did it, but what are you going to do.

After we had breakfast we headed up to Utah County to spend the rest of Christmas with family. We ended up a my parents house first and enjoyed visiting and stuffing our faces with yummy food. Then we headed to Wayne's parents and did the same.

We spent Thursday though Sunday up there and other then Kaitlyn getting the 24 hour flu it was great! Thanks to Audra and Linn for putting up with us for 3 days.

Christmas Letters from Santa

I found these really cute personalized Christmas Letters from Santa today while looking on PYP. I think they are cute and would be so fun for the kids. Here is a link to the site . This site also has a great deal on a Christmas book that you can personalize with your kids name in the story for only a penny plus shipping and handling it ends up being $4.00.

This would be a great Christmas present for any kid!
