Christmas

It seems like Greg and I always wake up before our kids Christmas morning. It doesn't seem quite right that we are waiting in our bed anxiously waiting for them to come and wake us up, but that seemed to happen again this year. Greg and I were talking in bed before the girls woke up and I suddenly remembered Kaitlyn and I had forgot to wrap her present for Matayia. Kaitlyn had found a great hiding spot under head bed in a couple of different boxes. I jumped out of bed, hoping i could get it wrapped before they woke up. When I tiptoed past Matayia's room i looked in and found her wide awake. She said she was waiting for it to be 7:30 which was the time we had set the night before (kiddingly) I told her to hop in bed with Greg while I wrapped on last present. When I came back both the girls were up and ready to go.



We headed downstairs to wake up Grandma and Grandpa and Bubba. (We were lucky enough to have them over for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning) And then the fun began. The girls are both old enough to really get the present thing. Matayia got a new camera, books and some new clothes from Justice. Kaitlyn got a scooter, pet shops and a hot wheels track from Santa also. Before we knew it all the presents were unwrapped and we were busily opening all those annoying little twisty tied little toys so the could be played with. Usually Greg takes so many pictures of the girls but not today we must of both been having too much fun.



Later in the afternoon we drove to Logan to celebrate with the rest of the family. Since we were getting together on Christmas we decided to wait and do the traditional fondue dinner on Christmas. Fondue is one of my favorite meals ans it didn't disappoint this year either. Because of the amount of people (especially kids) we decided it would be easier to cook the meet at the bar instead of on the table. And somehow dad got stuck just cooking all of the meat for us. Thanks dad!!

The rest of the weekend was spent just lounging with the family. (I love to lounge) We played a few games ate some good food and just had a good time together. Christmas has come and gone but once again we have made some great memories together.
