It’s amazing how much fun Christmas is when you have a
toddler. All those years of un-excitement and disbelief wash away, and it’s
like your experiencing it again for the first time. And I’m not just talking
about Santa and his reindeer, but it’s a different experience when you are
teaching the story of the birth of Christ. It helps you truly remember what Christmas
is about.
Just like we do every year we spent Christmas eve, and Christmas
morning with my family. And all of Christmas day with Blake’s family. Which works
out splendidly that we get to spend every year with both our families.
We thought it would be more fun/exciting for Peyton to spend
Christmas morning with everyone in my family, since it would probably be boring
with just Blake and I. As our kids get older I’m sure we’ll develop our own
traditions, but for now it’s nice to spend it with my family.

Every year my family takes the week of Christmas to New
Years Eve and choses something to do every day. Most years I am lame and do
about half of what they do, especially since a lot of it includes cross country
skiing, which has never been my favorite way to spend time. This year it was
fun for me because most of the things they did could include. Especially in
winter any excuse to get out of the house is a good one. Some of the activities
included; sledding, swimming up at green canyon, wallyball, seeing the second
Hobbit movie, playing card games, and the best part eating dinner at my mom’s
house every night. Yes, that meant no cooking for me for a whole week,
hallelujah!
