Christmas Day!



Christmas morning isn't nearly as exciting as an adult as it was when I was a kid. I suppose it would be more exciting if we had kids to watch them open their presents. We did get to sleep in and that's a bonus that many parents don't get :) We rolled out of bed around 9:30 and opened presents. Kudos to Matt for doing a great job on Christmas. He got me a new Dooney and Bourke purse! I love it. I think the best gift from me to Matt was the $25 gift I gave him to McDonalds. It was supposed to be a joke...hmmm I will remember that. His birthday is in January.

We did have to quickly get ready and get up to my parents house. Elder Kenny Gardner was calling soon! I wish I had some pictures of us all talking to him. He sounded really great. He has been out 5 months now. We miss him but he is doing a great job in Ireland.

We opened presents from one another. The theme this year was fun and games. Laura and Sam had us and gave us Ticket to Ride the Swiss version and if we get sick of playing that we can go to a movie with the gift card they also gave us. Thanks, Sam and Laura!

Mom and Dad opening their gifts from the kids...the adult kids :)

Gma and Don opening the gifts from my parents. A photo album of our family and a year subscription to USA Today.



We spent the afternoon playing games, eating food...and drinking lots of soda (as you can see in the picture)

Later in the afternoon we went up to Pleasant Grove to visit Matt's brother. We had a fun time at Jeff and Lisa's. We played Ticket to Ride the German version. That is what Matt and I gave them for Christmas. I guess Ticket to Ride was the gift to give this year :) I meant to take some pictures but I left my camera in the car and it was too cold to get it...next time!
