Christmas

We had an awesome Christmas this year. For the last few years we have gone to Top Golf on Christmas Eve and that has been a lot of fun. It gives us something to do other than just wait for Christmas Day. We also went the Heinholds for dinner. When we got home we let each kid unwrap their gift from Sean's parents. Bode also let Molly unwrap a gift to her from him. He heard her say one day while we were skiing at Alta that she really wanted a stuffed porcupine from the gift shop. He ran back and bought it for her. I thought that was such a nice thing for him to do and I was proud of him for thinking of her. Davis and Molly kept close eye on the Santa tracker on the computer and all of the kids slept in Bode's room. 

We woke up bright and early Christmas morning and found Santa had come!

Christmas was on a Sunday this year, so we were able to go to church on Christmas morning. It was really nice to be able to go and worship Christ's birth on Christmas Day. Our ward did sacrament meeting only and it was all musical, which I loved. Bode had a little solo in the song the primary sang (called "If I Were There") and it might have been my favorite part of Christmas. I told him it was his Christmas present to me. 

After we got home we opened all of our gifts to each other from under the tree. I loved how thoughtful the kids were in giving gifts this year and Molly's cute little wrapping and notes made me smile. The kids were all excited about their gifts this year and I think everyone felt like they had a great Christmas.

Christmas dinner turned out awesome this year. We make the same thing every year and we all look forward to it. I always hold my breath hoping I've cooked the prime rib correctly. My parents stayed with us for Christmas and it was fun to have them with us. We played a new game we got after dinner and overall it was just a very nice day. 

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
