Christmas 2011

Christmas was nice this year. We woke up and started to head downstairs and realized our video camera is most likely broken (we couldn't get it to turn on!). So, the poor kids were waiting on the stairs for what probably seemed to them like hours instead of a few minutes. They opened their gifts from Santa then we ate breakfast and got ready for church. The branch and ward had a combined Christmas meeting. The choir had to be there by 8:00...Barrett was singing in the choir, so we all got to church early. Barrett played the organ, then sang in choir which meant I got to sit with the boys all by myself the whole meeting and an hour early too. On our "walk" around the building, Tommy accidentally broke a bulb off one of the Christmas trees. I don't understand, why in the world someone would put glass bulbs on a tree in a building where there are tons of kids!! Anyway, we were all glad to get home and start opening presents!!! Tommy didn't even want to change out of his clothes! They loved all their presents and played all day. It was awesome! We talked with grandparents and then went to dinner at our friends house who don't have family close by either. It was a great way to end Christmas...good food and good times.
