I was so lucky this Christmas to have my family in town (Kent, Carly, and Amy) and they got to spend Christmas with us!! Here we are on Christmas Eve with the whole gang (Jared's mom and dad, Kent, Carly, Tiffany, Coby, Corbin, Uncle Wayne and Aunt Laurie, Sommer, Amber, Amy, and the rest of us). We had so much yummy food and just had a great time being together as a family.
Earlier that day we went up to see the Joseph Smith movie at the JSM building downtown and then we hit the Gateway for some last minute Christmas shopping, and it was COLD!!
CHRISTMAS!!! Christmas morning was just the best. I can never sleep on Christmas Eve so I was up 'till about 4:00 AM and at the crack of dawn I wanted to get a head start on making breakfast. Austin was my first little guy to wake up and he was so excited - he just kept bouncing up and down and laughing. Jordan came downstairs and said, "Mom, Santa left me a bell on my door!!" and then he saw the new cars and tracks and he couldn't wait to dive right in and start opening his presents. It was a fun morning for everyone.
Jordan and Austin's Aunt Wee and Uncle "T" completely spoiled these little boys (as always!); Jordan got a new tool box and he's learning how to use his new tools so he can help Todd and Wendy work on their house and build a new bed. That's his latest obsession. They got more cars and tracks, a new love sac for the new baby (yeah!), and tickets to go with his dad to see the Monster Truck show in Feb. My boys are so lucky to have such great aunts and unlces!!
Later that evening we stepped out to drop off a few more gifts and visit Grandma and Grandpa Larson at their house.
Every year Jared's mom's side of the family have a Christmas get-together. Santa came to see the kids and everyone had a great time.
And... for Christmas this year we decided to take everyone tubing @ Soldiers Hollow. After everyone froze their toes and had enough we went to Don Pedros in Heber for dinner.
And so this Christmas was just the best; we had plenty of fresh snow, lots of friends and family around, lots of yummy food, and so many cars, trucks, and race tracks to keep these kids busy for a very long time. Thanks to everyone for making this Christmas so special, and thanks Kent, Carly, and Amy for making the trip up here to be with us. We love you!!

Isn't that the BEST way to go sledding!! I've never been to Soldier Hollow, but we love Gorgoza Park (which and I hear is very similar) and are hoping to go this weekend.
Hope to see you soon.
