This holiday season was very nice and relaxing. We decided to have a sleepover at my parents' house Christmas Eve. Since they live so close, we try to do Christmas morning at their house every few years. We want them to be able to experience the grandkids opening their presents. The kids loved it. We did a little program and nativity. Each family contributed some talent to the program. Aimee and Parker both played a Christmas song on the piano. My mom and I teach them piano. My little nephew was so cute. He did breakdancing to a upbeat version of a star wars song. He is only 5, so it was really cute. He was so serious about it. We piled into our cars and drove around to look at Christmas lights. We have done that for as long as I can remember. When we were little, and my grandpa was alive, they would come with us. He got banned from sitting back with the kids because of all the "trouble" he would cause. I miss having him around.
Christmas morning, we actually had to wake the kids to open presents. We had church at 11, so we had to make sure we had time for presents before then. They were so excited to see that Santa had still come even though we weren't at our house. They loved their presents. The first couple pictures are wonderful with Aimee in her curlers :) My brother, Jon, is in the second picture with Wyatt.
We did a lot of hanging out at my parents' house this past week. Wyatt has been off of work since the 21st of December. He had to use some vacation time or else he'd lose it. He has to go back to work tomorrow. We have to go back to reality.
We went to my sister's house for part of New Year's Eve. We ate dinner and played some games. It was fun. We got to see fireworks all over the valley as we drove home. It was a lot of fun.
The kids all ready for church on Christmas Day. They are so cute!!
