Christmas came so quickly this year that it is crazy to think it is already over! We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We were lucky enough to kick off our holiday weekend at the Vegas Bowl to watch BYU beat UCLA. We stayed with Grandma Beulah and Garth in St. George and we were lucky enough to see the McArthur side of the family while we were down there. Christmas Eve we did our usual tradition of opening our Christmas Eve present (pajamas) and driving around to see Christmas lights before heading home so that Santa could come.
As the girls get older Christmas morning comes later and later every year. This year we made it all the way to 7:30 a.m. before Chandi couldn't handle it anymore. Chandi has been asking for a cell phone for months now and Mom and Dad were determined to not get her one but Santa thought differently. It was supposed to be a surprise but when her cousin Cody called her phone from his new phone, the surprise was a little ruined. Oh well, she still was thrilled to get it, and Morgan and Ashlee were grateful that she could spend the day texting Cody instead of them :)
Christmas is filled with visits from friends and family, and in our opinion, it's the best part! We loved our afternoon with Corby, Carolynn, Cade, Andelin, and Bergen. We were very much entertained by Corby's karaoke skills and Andelin is a great guitar player! Morgan's favorite part of Christmas was holding the sleeping Bergen for several hours, while the rest of the family played board games. We had a wonderful dinner made by Mom and loved our family time together!
