A Wonderful Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful this year! We stayed in Utah and didn't do the drive to California. We had just done it at Thanksgiving so that was a nice break! Jeff's brother's came into town and we all spent Christmas Eve together with the kids so hyper and excited for Santa to come! My niece is just the cutest thing and Jake and her decided to entertain us all with princess christmas music, ballet dancing and Jake's breakdancing. It was so funny and I have really good blackmail pictures for when he gets older!! The boys woke up (REALLY EARLY!!) to find what Santa left. Tyler got an IPOD Nano, and Ryan and Jacob got new bikes. We opened a bunch of gifts at our house before heading over to grandma's. Then we opened even more! I was surprised we could even see each other under all the wrapping paper! The boys got some really nice gifts from everyone. One gift was left in an envelope hidden in the tree. It was from my dad in California. So, thanks to grandpa, we are heading up north on Friday to play in the snow, shop a little in SLC, stay in a hotel and then wake up Saturday and go to the Steel Thunder Jam. It is a show full of Monster Trucks and Motocross. My boys dream! Then, to top it off, he included a pit pass for us to spend two hours before the show with the drivers and motocross riders. The boys were literally screaming when they heard this! We can't wait to on Friday! Although we just heard it is supposed to snow Saturday so we might be staying Saturday night too if the weather is too bad! Friday morning one of my sister in laws and I headed out early to find all the good deals at the sales. The boys and the kids all headed up to Pine Valley to play in the snow. What a great holiday we had! I hope everyone has a good New's Year's Eve! We are heading to First Night, if you haven't gone before, it's alot of fun, full of entertainment, fun things for the kids and good food! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!
