A Quick Summary of Christmas

We got home last night from our 6 day Christmas vacation which was great.

We were able to see my Dad and grandparents on Tuesday and Christmas Eve with Ryan’s family was a lot of fun as usual. The kids really enjoyed themselves, Alex loves playing with her cousins. One bummer about living far away is that our kids don’t get to play with their cousins as much as we would like. But, I guess that makes the time they do have together that much better.

Christmas morning was great. The kids both got one big present and then a few little things. Connor’s big gift was a Lightning McQueen car that talks, dances, and drives around. Alex’s was a Dora and Pegasus horse that she loves. Ryan and I decided not to do anything for each other (since Christmas came early for us in the form of a TV and new van), but his sister talked him in to spending $20 on me because there was a huge scrap booking sale down in Utah, so I got a ton of stuff. Now I really need to do some scrap booking and I don’t have any excuses.

All in all it was a fun week. Ryan had a lot of fun playing and spending time with the kids. We are all happy to finally be home. Unfortunately Ryan came down with a sinus infection on Friday night. Hopefully he’ll feel better soon. Connor must have caught a little bug yesterday too. Right when we got home he threw up and now has a high fever and is really grumpy. Poor little guy. Even with these little sicknesses, Christmas was great and we feel blessed.
