Christmas!!

This Christmas was great! We spent Christmas Eve in Manti with Ben's Grandpa, aunt Diane, uncle Merrill and their family. There was delicious food and great company. The only glitch in the evening was the fact that we got clear past Fountain Greenon our way home before Evan realized that he had left "Bear" at aunt Diane's house! Lucky for us, Ben's cousin Jackson was feeling the Christmas spirit and drove to meet us back in Moroni with "Bear." Things would have been quite traumatic at our house for the next few days without him! The boys got to open one present that night (new pj's) and then they went to bed.

The next morning, I went to work and was home before the boys woke up. After a traditional Christmas breakfast of mini boxes of cereal, we got to see what Santa brought!
Santa even left a few gifts for Rocky, who quite enjoyed them!

Everyone had fun opening presents and enjoying each other's company! Then it was off to Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Bryan's house. We had more delicious food and enjoyed more great company and opened a few more presents. We are so glad that uncle Nate was able to be here from Virginia to share Christmas with us this year! All in all, it was a great day! I am truly blessed in my life with wonderful family and friends!

It sounds like you had a great Christmas. The little adventure to Manti was just that "an adventure". Driving in a snow storm is not much fun. It is great to here of all the family traditions you guys have started.

Maybe next year, since Kent will be in Singapore, we will forgo Manti and come to your place for Chinese food.

Love.

Dad
