Keaton came down for Christmas on Wednesday morning. It's great to have him here. Christmas Eve brought snow in the early evening. Although it didn't stick, it still brought a bit of the spirit of Christmas. We had cheesy potato soup for dinner and the grandparents came over. We then went to see the lights around town. We missed walking around the Temple grounds because of the rain. After seeing the lights we came home and read about the birth of Jesus in the Bible and watched a DVD about Christ.
One of our traditions is for the kids to open a gift on Christmas Eve. Of course it is p.j.'s. Last year on Christmas Mike remembered that he had forgotten to get me some, but this year I fixed that and bought my own:) Noah's favorite gift this year was a Minnesota Viking football uniform. He wore it all day on Christmas and the next day. We finally had to tell him to take it off to be washed.....you know how some things get so dirty they might just grow legs and walk away!
Maddie got a bike, but her favorite gift is probably the Hanna Montana barbie that sings "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"......gosh I hope the batteries in that wear out soon!:)The grandparents were able to come over in the morning after the kids called them by 6:00am. We opened gifts then Mike made a yummy Christmas breakfast. After that the grandparents left and our family stayed in pajamas much of the day. That evening we had a nice Christmas dinner. We all had a great Christmas spending time with each other!

Santa should have brought Noah a Cowboy's jersey! It sure looks like fun. I really can believe that you have your stuff cleaned up and it cracks me up. I can just see you jumping up and starting to put stuff away as soon as the gifts are open. I am still sitting in a mess but plan to start on that on Monday!
Looks like a great day! It was so good to be with you guys.
