This Christmas we stuck (mostly) to our usual traditions. We spent Christmas Eve at my Nana and Papa's house with all the cousins, aunts and uncles. We ate dinner, exchanged small gifts and opened our Christmas pajamas and blankets. It is always so fun to see everyone and spend time with family that we rarely get to see anymore. We also had a chance to say "hi" to my cousin who is serving a mission in Florida! He comes home in June and has been an amazing missionary. We are so proud of you Ryan!
Usually we spend the night in Orem, then spend the morning opening presents and eating breakfast with my family but this year I wasn't feeling too great so we opened gifts from our parents Christmas Eve and gave them gifts from us. We spent the night at home and Christmas morning I made Scott some yummy crepes and hot chocolate. Then we had a fabulous Christmas morning. Scott was happy with his car parts and some other small gifts. And I was spoiled with a whole bunch of stuff from one of my favorite stores- Fossil.
We then spent the day at Scott's parent's house with the nieces. We had an amazing Christmas Lunch (pretty much an entire Thanksgiving meal again!!) And stayed true to our Halladay tradition by talking about the different services we did this year and presenting our Scrapbook pages. It is really nice to hear all that we can do for others.
We then watched the girls open all their gifts. They got some cute toys and were THRILLED. How cute are they?? I just love them! We also got plenty of gifts in our stockings.
That evening we went to the Care Center to visit our Grandma. Tons of family showed up and we had a good time visiting, eating cookies and giving Grandma some Christmas gifts.
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! I can't believe this year is almost over!!
Looks like a great Christmas Elise.
