We hope you had a wonderful Christmas like we did. We started off on Christmas Eve at Steve’s parents’ house. We had dinner, played games and just hang out. Spencer helped me write a letter to Santa telling him he was at his Grammer’s and Grandpa’s, what he wanted (“lots and lots of toys”) and saying he’s been a good boy. I asked him if we should put out milk and cookies for Santa and he said, “No. Hide it.” I asked him where we should hide it. “In fridge.” Easy enough. 🙂 We put the kids to bed upstairs (a toddler bed and crib pushed next to each other…mainly to keep Spencer from falling out of bed) and the kids giggled at each other for a long time. We played more games until I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore. We woke up to Spencer crying in the hallway. Our door was cracked open but he walked the other way and saw the dark house. That woke up Evie…so, that meant I was awake. Pat and Alec said they heard the “pitter, patter of little feet” and were happy to wake up. We talked to Steve’s brother, Michael, the Thompkins and then opened a few presents. Next we had breakfast and got ready to head down to Annette’s house. I called my family in Oklahoma, wished my dad a happy birthday, and chatted a little about their Christmas. At Annette’s house we played, opened presents and played some more. We only spent a few hours at Annette’s before heading back to Alec and Pat’s. John, Steve’s brother, called from Mongolia (he’s on his mission) and we didn’t want to miss it. We chatted with John for a while…boy does he sound mature and a lot like Michael!…and sounded like he really enjoyed being there. Next, we opened presents with Bri and Jadyn, the boys played a ton (Evie was asleep) while Alec started on crapes. YUMMY! we had so many toppings for the crapes…and boy did we get stuffed! We played a little more and then packed up and took the kids home. We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did too.
