White Christmas!

We had a great Christmas!  Christmas morning we were at our house.  Derek and I woke up before Eli and we were very anxious for him to wake up and see what Santa brought him.  He was kind of half asleep when we first took him to see, but when he woke up a little he was pretty excited about his powerwheels mower and the treats in his stocking.  After a little play time and breakfast, we made the snowy trek to my parent’s house.

When we got to their house we had lunch, opened presents, talked to Doug in Argentina, and then my brothers and I went sledding.  We spent the rest of the weekend with the fam and it was lots of fun.

Christmas Eve

We had a quiet Christmas Eve at home while Oklahoma’s first ever blizzard was going on outside.  The missionaries stopped by for a visit and we watched Mr. Kruger’s Christmas.  We also finished our 12 days of Christmas scripture reading.  Then the three of us had dinner (rotisserie chicken, mashed sweet potatoes, cheesy brussel sprouts, rolls, & gravy) and opened a few small presents we had gotten each other.  After Eli went to bed, Derek and I played phase 10 and had hot chocolate and of course got things ready for Christmas morning.
