Christmas is here again...well it WAS here again

Christmas this year was a wonderful experience...again. I absolutely love Christmas time. We always do a big Christmas eve dinner and party over at the UVU institute (Jason's mom worked there so she is still able to reserve it) which is a good thing because nobody house is big enough for our big group. We have a wonderful turkey and ham dinner, play lots of games, have a talent show with all the grand kids, eat lots of sugary treats, exchange gifts with siblings, exchange gifts with grand kids and have a white elephant gift exchange. I certainly learned my lesson to keep th gifts decent since last year my 16 year old nephew ended up with the Santa teddy that I brought...yeah nice hu? After coming home, the girls open up their gifts from each other and their pajamas. They all sleep together in the bedroom upstairs.

Christmas morning started at 7:00. I guess they woke up at 6:00 but stayed in their bedroom for an hour playing...what great kids hu? They were SOOOO excited to find that Santa had left them a wii this year, but I think their daddy was secretly the most excited. It is so funny to watch them do the boxing and tennis and Camrie is quite the little bowler. She rolled 4 strikes and 5 spares in one game.

Jason and I decided that our gift to each other would be a pass to the indoor tennis court and tennis gear. I have always thought it looked fun and we wanted something that we could do together. We still haven't had a chance to go but tomorrow is the big day. I'm pretty sure I will be so stinkin' sore because just playing tennis on the wii made my arm so the next day...I know...I'm pretty pathetic. I also got a juicer to help in my quest to lost weight and be healthy. I have actually really enjoyed getting up in the morning and making me some new concoction. I tried to make my own version of V8 but it turned out so incredibly nasty. I will stick to fruits thank you very much.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year

Here's to 2009
