With such a late Christmas Eve....it was a slow start to our Christmas morning. I woke up at 7:30 to find not a creature was stirring. The Smith's always have breakfast together, so we knew that we had better get the girls going. I went upstairs first to make sure Santa had come......
Looks like he enjoyed the goodies Emmrey set out and he left her a note along with our Santa key, which we were thankful for.
After the girls finally roused...they lined up youngest to oldest and made their way to the family room
Santa was good to these girlies as usual....Bailee asked for NOTHING and got some shoes/boots, shirts/sweaters, a little makeup bag with [a little] makeup, Ticket to Ride [so much fun] and an Ipod which she was very excited about. Karsyn was brought a Guitar, 2 LEGO sets, Skylanders, Chinese Checkers, Snowshoes, sweatshirts and a Capitals Jacket. Emmrey received a Bitty Baby, Roller Blades, Snowshoes, Art set, a box of 64 crayons [she so wanted these], a Puzzle Maker [top on her list] and Pit
It is fun to be able to give Grampa and Gramma their gift in person. The girls gave them their photo book and calendar for the new year and we also gave them season tickets to Hale Centre Theatre along with my siblings.
We didn't have much play time before we needed to get dressed and
head over to Grandpa and Grandpa Smiths for breakfast. We ate eggs and
waffles and exchanged gifts. We gave Grandpa a new Sweater and Tie,
Grandma new scriptures and the girls gave them a photo book. It was fun to spend some time visiting with everyone.
We left there in time to get to Jami & Scott's for brunch. It always amazes me how you seem to find room for more food on the holidays ...even if you just ate. We enjoyed Swiss Muesli, Homemade Cinnamon Rolls,and delicious breakfast burritos [they really outdid themselves] We got some good family time in and then headed back to my parents for a little more gift exchanging;)
We finished out the day with some LEGO building and game playing. Among the games we played was a new one Bay received....Ticket to Ride...so much fun!!
We had a very Joyful day with our family in Utah.
MERRY CHRISTMAS from our family to yours!!
