Christams Day

We Told the boys that they were not allowed to wake us up until 8:00 am, and boy am I glad. Clay woke up at 4:45 and Tyler at 5. They open there stocking and then the came in at exactly at 8. Boy do I wish that we would have said later since we didn't get to bed until 2. They were so excited to get started. I hurry and but breakfast in the oven so it would be done when we were done opening gifts. They had them all opened in less than 20 min. We bought a PlayStation 3 (60g) because we bought it used and they were with us when we bought it. We would have liked to have surprised them but we had to drive to Layton Saturday before Christmas at 10:00 at night. So we had to all pile in the car to get it. We got home at 2 in the morning the night. So we told them we were not going to open it until Christmas. Tyler got a new bike. Clay Some games for the PlayStation and they both got football helmets and shirts and pants. I got a I-pod and so Circut cartridges and Randy want the Final Fantasy game he had found on-line. When the guy called me back Christmas Eve I told Randy I was sold and meet him at the store and bought it for him. He was really disappointed that he had sold it. But when he opened it up Christmas morning he was really excited. He is so hard to buy for and I was really fun to surprise him.When we were done with opening the gifts we ate breakfast and then Randy set up the PlayStation and I displayed all the loot to take a picture. We didn't get as much this year as we have in the past but we did spend more. I wish the things the boys wanted were cheaper. I know that next year they will want things that will probably be more expansive. My mom and dad came over and dropped there gifts off and they gave the boys an outfit and binoculars and we got and emergency kit for the car.

Later that day we went to Randy's Mom and Dad's. His sister had to work until 3, they waited until she got home before they had opened any of there gifts. Randy's parents gave a wheat grinder and wheat for are food storage. One thing we didn't have yet. It is always nice to add the the food storage. We had Turkey for dinner and the sat a round doing a puzzle. When we left to come home it was a blizzard out I'm glad we drove our truck which has 4-wheel drive. I left my camera at home so I will have to get the pictures from my sister-in-law and post them later. It is always nice to spend so much time with family around the Holiday's.

Christmas Eve

I can't believe it has been a week since Christmas Eve. I have been so busy this week this is the first time I have had time to sit and write about Christmas.

So Christmas Eve we meet my family at Fat Cats and went bowling. Grandpa and Grandma Nash came and Amanda and Steve and there kids and Mom and Dad. We missed Mark and Elain's Family and Malinda and Brain and there family but we still had tons of fun. Grandma Nash kicked our butt's. She said she had be bowling in over 20 years, but she bowled like an old pro. her score was 120. Randy, Tyler and I came with in one point of each other the first game. I hope we make this a new tradition it was much more fun than sitting around the house all night.

After bowling we went back to my Mom and Dad's house and had Ham and potatoes. I was really good. Then we let the little kids open there gifts so they would be occupied while the adults could play there game. After games we had dessert. I brought the dessert. I had heard some telling that there family has a Birthday cake to celebrate Christ Birthday. I thought the the little kids would understand it better if we had a cake. I had the bakery right Happy Birthday Jesus on it. Then I add 1 candle per person that was there and we all blew them out together.

When we got home the boys opened there Christmas pj's. They love their robes. We put the kids to bed at 11:00 and Then we were up finishing what we needed done for Christmas Day. I still haven't been able to turn the pictures sorry.
