Had A Very Merry Christmas

This was the first Christmas that we spent away from home (besides Jeff’s mission). We had a really great time doing our own thing this year. Because Grandma and Grandpa were here just a few days before Christmas, we were able to do some of our traditional stuff with them which was really fun. We got spoiled rotten by both sets of grandparents and we feel so grateful for everything that they do for us. They probably do too much, but we appreciate it. Cadence has more cute clothes than she is going to know what to do with.

On Christmas day we woke up when Talmage started pounding on his door and yelling for us. We got our gifts from Santa and waited till the afternoon to open our presents from each other which is nice because it felt like it lasted longer. Talmage got every toy made from Disney Pixar's Cars movie. He got a tent and sleeping bag and about a billion Cars characters, not to mention a Cars bike and helmet from his grandma. Cadence got tons of cute clothes as mentioned above and a couple toys to play with when she can hold up her own dome. Later on in the evening Jeff made a Turkey dinner for us all. We decided to try and redeem ourselves after the Thanksgiving Day turkey disaster. It was a wonderful Christmas. Thank you sooo much grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We love you all!
