Christmas

Our Christmas started Thursday afternoon making sugar cookies with Grandma Haws and Aunt Mindy. The girls got to cut them out, cook them (watch while an adult put them in the oven), and decorate them.
Friday, Christmas Eve, we went over to Grandpa and Grandma's for a nice dinner and to open a few presents. I received a nice gift from my sister in law, Brianna. She gave me a coupon to use at a nice spa here in town. Mindy gave Warren a walking stick and a book. The girls got games from Mindy and PJS from us. After playing the games a few times we brought the girls home and got them ready for bed.
Sometime in the night Santa came to visit and the girls were really excited this morning. After opening gifts from Santa it took them about 10 minutes to open everything under the tree. The girls got Stick ponys and a doll from Santa. Mom and Dad gave them a dress, shirts and pants and a couple of books. Warren got a nice watch and a nice dress shirt. I got a food drier, a story book with Book of Mormon stories in it, and wireless internet with a netflix coupon.
After playing with new toys, reading stories, and breakfast we headed back over to Grandpa and Grandmas- where the girls found more presents! Kenna got a stuffed bear and Kylie got a stuffed pink puppy. They each got a Burley dress from Mindy and a quilt from Grandma. Papa had found cute pink princess towels to give them. I got a nice sweater to wear and Warren got a nice orange polo shirt. As a family we got a wii.
After presents and scones- it was time to call Uncle Greg who is serving in Portugal. After the phone call we came home my brother called me so I got to listen to Beverly who is serving in Argentina. It was great to be able to hear from both missionaries.

Merry Christmas!
