Christmas!

Christmas in our family makes for a busy time! There is always a lot of family to see!

We stopped by Delta to visit my family on the 23rd and stayed the night and partied with them for a while. We left the next day and headed up further North. We stopped by the Brockbanks (my aunt and uncle's) because we heard Santa was going to be there! We made green rice crispies wreaths and hung out with my sister and some relatives.

My little nephew was a little afraid of Santa.

After that, we went to Gary's dad's house and had some yummy soup for dinner. Then we read the Christmas story in the scriptures all settled in our beds so that Santa would come.

Sandy and Wade showed up early Christmas morning and we had a blast hanging out, opening presents and eating yummy biscuits and gravy. Tucker is still grasping the idea of Santa Claus. He knows who he is, but doesn't really get that he is the one that leaves the presents. 

Here's Tucker and Grandpa on Christmas morning.

Can you guess what Gary got? Its the one in the green wrapping paper. It reminds me of the commercial with the viking kid that sits on Santa's lap with the obviously wrapped ax and the kid says "I wonder what it could be?" Then Santa pulls the kid's beard. Haha!

We left the Schaugaard residence and headed to Gary's mom's. We got to video chat on the computer with Grandma & Grandpa Bolin who are on a mission in Canada, and Gary's brother called from the MTC in the Dominican Republic while we were there.

Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Green's.

While we were at Grandpa and Grandma Green's, Tucker snuck into the bathroom and started grunting on the toilet. Good thing the seat was down.

Then we headed back to Gary's mom's and opened some presents. 

Then we went to Grandma & Grandpa Haroldsen's. We played the white elephant game and hang out with family.

Then we went to Grandma Birrell's. Tucker got a Wocket in my Pocket book and a stuffed Wocket. Here he is with his Wocket in his pocket. Cute!

And here is the painting that I made for Grandma and Grandpa Birrell. Sandy and Wade made the frame.

We had a wonderful Christmas!
