Let's wrap all of December in to one post as well shall we?? We had a good Christmas season. Trips to the Temple to see the lights, a visit or 2 to see Santa. Family Christmas parties and of course SHOPPING!! I'm sure there's a ton more that I can't remember too. I really need to stay on top of this more... The pictures are a little out of order from how the month actually went, but that shouldn't matter much. We were lucky to have Logan with us on Christmas morning this year. It's so nice now that Myles is older and enjoying holidays more to have him around for them. A few days before Christmas Chris took them both to Gardner Village to pick out their yearly ornament. He also got one for himself and me. Chris picked out a
S'more... why I'm not quite sure. He got me a momma
marshmallow holding a little baby to signify our 2 angel babies. I wasn't going to get one but when he saw it he said that he had to get it for not only be but both of us. (he's so thoughtful.) Logan picked out a cruise ship to remember the trip he went on with his family in St. George just after Thanksgiving. And Myles picked out a guitar. (Always trying to be like Daddy.)
We spent Christmas Eve at my Grandma
Heddlesten's with my sister and her family. We don't get over there as much as we should so it was nice to spend the time. I know she loves having us over. All of the kids opened their traditional Christmas
Jammies. Logan got Star Wars: Clone Wars and Myles got dinosaurs. Chris even got a Ninja Turtle's
Shirt and some sweats. I had gotten my self some too, but I failed to check the tag and they ended up being 2 sizes to small. Once we got home we made sure to leave the cookies and Strawberry milk out for Santa. Of course we left some carrots for the reindeer as well. Christmas morning was a lot of fun. Of course the kids got way to much stuff, but they loved it all. Some of it even gets played with still. One of my favorite things that they got was their baseball hats. Well the boys got baseball. Logan the Red
Sox and Myles got White
Sox. (I'm training him young.) Chris couldn't decide on an Angles hat that he wanted and since he's picky and I wanted to make sure he wore it he got the new Bears hat that he had been wanting. It was so cute to see them all open the same thing and be so excited about it.
One of my favorite things to do is go to Temple Square and see the lights. This year it was just the three of us. We took
Trax, which Myles thought was pretty cool, and then we spent some time walking around the Temple grounds. Myles got bored pretty quickly so after we went to the Gateway to get some ice cream.
Like every year we had our family Christmas party at
Grammie and
Grandpie's. It's so great to get everyone together. With 5 brothers and sisters plus all of their kids, ranging from 3-15 years old, it gets pretty wild, but it's always fun and it's a great time to catch up and for all the cousins to hang out and have a good time.
December was such a fun month, like most months around here. snowmen, Christmas, family, and shopping. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
