Christmas 2010

This Christmas seemed to fly by! It was a lot of fun filled with family, presents, and lots of food! But sadly no snow at all! That was a little disappointing, I looked outside on Christmas day and it didn't look like Christmas at all, it looked like some day in October, it wasn't even that cold. This year we spent Christmas Eve at the Brandley's and Christmas day at the Keeffer's. Since we were going to be gone all weekend we decided to open our gifts for each other on Christmas Eve morning before we headed down to Ogden. Louis' favorite gift from me was probably his Jeep knife he uses it all the time and my favorite gift was my new camera! Sadly we didn't get anything for Avery, I know we're horrible parents. The only thing we got for here was some Christmas Eve jammies. I don't think she minded though. She liked her pajamas, she showed that by spitting up on them moments after they were put on. Love that girl, she is a pretty spit uppy baby though. Christmas Eve at the Brandley's was really good I enjoyed it a lot. They ate food first then moved into the living room to read a story and scriptures and sing a few songs. After that we each wrote down what our gift to Jesus would be this year. A spiritual gift of course. After that we opened our Christmas Eve jammies. Since we weren't going to be there Christmas day we had everyone open our gifts to them and we opened the gifts that were for us.
Christmas day was great we started out at my parents and sat with them while they opened their presents for each other. The present opening went a lot faster now that they don't have any kids at home. Everyone was there by about noon and we ate our brunch. (even though it was lunch time we're still calling it brunch) It was about here where John called from his mission! It was great to talk to him, he's doing so good and having a lot of success. I can't believe he'll be home in only 11 months. After brunch and talking to John we headed into the Living room to open the presents from each other. Then we just relaxed and played games and snacked. We hadn't planned on going to the Brandley's on Christmas day, but I suggested we head over there since everything was done at my parent's house. So we headed back over there and just visited with the family that was there.
That ended the Christmas festivities. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the company of our family and being reminded on Christ and His birth.

This is actually our first family picture, we never got one at the hospital or anytime since then
