Christmas

It's been awhile since Christmas, and I just got around to taking the pictures off the camera. Things have been CRAZY the last little bit. Even though we knew we would be moving soon after the new year, we decided to drive out to Kansas to spend Christmas with Jeff's parents. It was wonderful. I got to relax A LOT! I didn't stress too much about all that I had to do, and I felt pretty good.

On Friday we opened presents from our family before we headed to Kansas. The kids were SO excited. The got a marble maze, games, books, erector set, my little ponies, zoobles, and a whole bunch of stuff I can't remember.
On Saturday we drove to Kansas. Jeff's brother Greg and his wife Ashley were there. His other sister Nicole and her family live there. Jeff's other sister Jeanna and her family came as well. It was great to see everyone. On Saturday night we read the Christmas story and sang songs. On Sunday after church we opened the presents from Santa! Dallin got walkie talkies, games, radio control car, and a telescope. Alyssa got a letter game, puzzles, magna doodle, and other little things.
The big present from Santa was a BOUNCE HOUSE! The kids were SO excited. Almost all the adults went down the slide as well. Dallin was very excited when Uncle Greg got in with him.

Dallin and daddy did lots of remote control driving. I got to do a little shopping. I went to see Breaking Dawn with all the girls (which was SO much fun). The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins. The adults enjoyed playing games/watching movies and basketball and football. We also went bowling. We only got 7 rounds in because the guy "forgot" he had reserved the lane for someone else. I was on with the 3 kids and I was in LAST place by a lot. My excuse...I'm pregnant... It was lots of fun.

What? We didn't know you guys were in Kansas! We totally could have met up ... we were there for over 2 weeks! Glad you had fun and I'm pretty jealous of that bounce house ... we might need to come visit so we can try it out. Seth would just die!

It was fun to see you guys. Glad you were able to make it with all the moving plans, too. And Sam keeps asking to play with her cousins. I guess me and Ben aren't nearly as much fun:)

Why is Greg lifting his arm in that bounce house pic? Monkey impression maybe? :)

Pregnancy TOTALLY explains the bowling score, by the way. Wish I had that excuse!
