We had a great Christmas. We were in Fairview for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Christmas Eve we did my moms traditional soup and rolls dinner. It is the only time we get to eat in the nice dining room with real china and crystal. The kids love it, oh who am I kidding I love it just as much. Then my dad read the Chirstmas story and the kids got to use finger puppets Tina made to act it out. After an awesome story by my mom about the picture of Christ that President Monson has hanging in his office, the kids got to open their jammies from Grandpa and Grandma. The kids went to bed fairly early but the rest of us stayed up and chatted for way too long. Especially because I am like a little kid and couldn't sleep all night. I was just to dang excited. Lexie woke up at 2:30 and wanted to open presents. I made her go back to bed until 6:30, not because I wasn't awake but because everybody else was still sleeping.
