Christmas

Christmas always starts with the annual cutting down of the tree.  On the Sat after Thanksgiving we head up Immigration canyon and go tree cutting down.  This year Cole and Clint rode with us but since they are getting a little to heavy to pack I just stayed in the van with them and Nate Wyatt and Shay went and cut down out tree.  After they went sledding  on a little hill for a bit.

Christmas Eve we had our family party at my parents house.  This year it was a little different because my mom was super sick - later we found out she had pnemonia!  That night we just ate dinner played some games and opened gifts.  As always the kids got really spoiled it is such a fun party.  Then we headed home early because Nate was not feeling that great.  On the way home we stopped at K-Mart for a quick minute Nate Wyatt and Shay went in while they were inside Cole threw up- Oh so gross!  We got home and got a quick photo of all the kids in their Christmas Jammies before round two.

This is our 3rd year with someone sick on Christmas ahh I think we have a curse.Christmas morning we did  not get up to early Nate was still sick and did not want to get out of bed so me and Wyatt and Shay got up and opened stocking and had breakfast then the rest of the crew woke up for presents. Shays favorite gifts were her sleeping bag, and a horse to go with her Doll.  Wyatt got games and clothes.      Cole and Clint got a really fun activity bus. Later that day we went over to Rachel's for Christmas dinner Nate and the boys stayed home but we went over for a quick dinner then came home and just watched movies.- I really needed to take more photos just got a few of the whole Christmas season..
