Merry Christmas!

We had a blast spending so much time with all of our family this week. On Christmas Eve "Eve" we went to my parents house. Jared has been working over time this week and last during the holidays for Fed Ex because they've been so busy. He got here just in time so start the Christmas program and open presents from each other. (that's why he's still in his Fed Ex clothes.)

The Christmas program was put on by the grandkids,(and my dad who read the story from the scriptures) who were probably too little still to understand what was going on. None of them lasted more than a few minutes with their costumes on, not even Lily.


My cute mom and dad

Andrew got a remote control car that Jared stole for a while. He's such a kid! The picture is really blurry because I tried to turn the flash off so his jacket wouldn't glare. Oh well


On Christmas Eve we went to Jared's grandma's house and had dinner. Jared's aunt Kim sang a funny country song that she made up her own words to. The kids all sat around in a circle and loved it. Jared's grandma also read them a little story about Christmas too, it was really cute.

The kids all had their own little gift exchange. Jared's grandma made them all matching pajama bottoms. She's so awesome!



The adults had their own gift exchange, which always gets a little crazy because each present can be stolen 3 times and people get really mad when theirs gets stolen. It's awesome. Jared and I ended up with some pans and some "SHAM WOW" towels that you see on the commercials on tv. It was really fun. That night we stayed at Jared's parents' house and watched the little kids open presents in the morning. That's always the best part of Christmas. Christmas day we ate at the mess hall at Hill Airforce Base with Jared's side of the family, and then we went to visit mine again. I forgot to take pictures all of those times though. Dang it. Merry Christmas everyone!
