We had a fabulous Christmas this year!
Christmas Eve was spent at my grandparents house. We had a lovely Italian dinner, exchanged sibling gifts, and the kids got to open gifts from all of the grandparents. We were up pretty late!
Since we didnt get home till almost midnight on Christmas Eve, we let Colton sleep in while Claire and Carlie got to open their gifts from Santa! Looking back I kind of wish we woke up Colton so we could he see excitement of everything under the tree, but a happy sleeping baby is hard to pass up!
After we opened gifts at home, we headed over to Aaron's dads house, and had brunch with his sisters. The girls loved playing with their cousins, and got to open gifts from Aarons side of the family! Paul and Virginia make the best brunch! We have a ham, Armadillo eggs (cheddar, wrapped in Jalepeno, wrapped in sausage, wrapped in a biscuit) Chile relleno, and cinnamon rolls. I look forward to Christmas brunch all year long!
After we left Pauls house, we got ready to have my parents and Keri and Joey over for dinner. Before they came over, Aarons mom and step dad stopped by to give the kids their gifts. Its always nice to see them when they are here!
For Christmas dinner, we had ham, funeral potatoes, sweet potatoes, salad, and cheesecake. We ate SO much Christmas weekend!
We had originally planned on going up to Parowan for New Years with my parents to play in the snow. But, we have had some really warm weather this winter, and there wasnt any snow on the ground in Parowan. So, we decided to stay home. We invited my family over for games, Dave and Linda came, and Linda's parents, grandpa, and younger brother came too! We had lots of food, played Just Dance 3! We watched the firework show (that was on the Strip) on TV, then went outside and popped Poppers and made a huge mess ! It was a LOT of fun, and I look forward to having a big party again next year!
