Merry Christmas

I am a little late with this post, but I could not end the year without posting something about Christmas.  Paige and I had so much fun making all kinds of Christmas goodies and she even helped me cook some of what I brought to Christmas Eve dinner.  Not that all our roles are totally traditional in our house but I had to laugh watching daddy and Caden play Legos while we "slaved" away in the kitchen.  Honestly I am not sure who had more fun.  Lol. I love having my little helper beside me and I loved seeing Caden and Jimmy have some "guy" time.

This year it was Amy's turn to host Christmas Eve dinner.  We had a blast!  Tami had a new game set up for us to play and it was so much fun.  She wrapped money in a shoe box and then covered it in packing tape.  We took turns rolling dice and when you rolled a 6 you tried to open it until the next person rolled a 6 and then it was their turn to try. Sounds pretty simple until you add the fact that you had to wear socks on your hands while you were trying to get the tape off.  I can't tell you how hard we all laughed.  It got very competitive, but Jimmy was the winner.  He was super nice and split the money up and gave some to all the kids. 

We ate dinner, sang carols and enjoyed each other's company.  The kids even heard Santa outside Amy's window!  Their faces were priceless.  Paige got scared he was going to miss our house since we were not there and soon after everyone headed home.  

Christmas morning we went to my parent and my dad made his annual Christmas omelets.  They were yummy!  We opened presents and spent the day in our pajamas.  This year Jimmy and I got the kids a trampoline.  We still have presents sitting in their boxes because all they have done since Christmas is jump on it. I would say it was money well spent.

We always have so much fun spending time with family during Christmas and most importantly celebrating our Savior's birth!  Happy birthday Jesus!
