Christmas

On Christmas Eve Eve we went to lunch and a movie with Dallin's dad's family.

It was so fun to see Dallin with his siblings.

His little brothers are growing up so fast and I love to see them goof around.

We exchanged Christmas gifts and also celebrated Darcie's birthday.

D, Megan, Caleb and Aiden.

That night we took Finn to see Santa.

The first counselor in our Bishopric is a legit Santa. So we HAD to take Finn to see him.

It was free and we got a such a kick out of the whole thing!

 

Finn was a bit worried about it.

Just sat stiff as board the entire time. No crying.

So that's s success in my book!

Also, that beard is all real folks!

On Christmas Eve, we had a giant feast over at my parent's.

My mom cooks up a storm and we all benefit.

This year, we frosted and decorated sugar cookies before dinner.

After dinner we exchanged gifts with Phil and Lacey's family and let Finn open a present.

Dallin and I are already suckers!

Christmas was so much fun this year. It was all we could do to keep Finn from opening up everyone's presents.

He was all about it!

That mischievous look says it all.

That poor little scab on his nose was from the day before when he tried to walk down the stairs.

He missed a step and he skidded right on his nose.

His vacuum was a total hit.

He is obsessed with vacuums, brooms and mops.

Let's hope that lasts!

Christmas fell on a Sunday, so we attended Sacrament Meeting at my parent's ward.

I loved focusing on the reason we celebrate Christmas and sharing that with my family.

After church we finished exchanging presents and scurried over to Dallin's mom's house.

We then drove down to Hatch with D's mom, sister, and the Heap family.

I'll save that goodness for my next post!
