Well we got to have a week off of work so we headed home to Idaho to spend Christmas with our families. We have done Christmas with my family the past couple of years since that's where we stay when we go home so this year we thought it would be fun to have Christmas morning with Blair's family. We sent a memo to Santa and told him to drop gifts off at Heward's house. Blair's dad wanted to call the kids Christmas morning and tell them that Santa dropped their gifts off there. Blair told him to call about 7:30 and atleast Statton should be awake. Well early the next morning at 6am Blair's phone was ringing and of course woke both of us up. Well it was Lynn wanting to talk to the kids. Since we were all in bed still Blair told his dad to call back in about an hour or so. Well little miss Cassidy had woken up and wandered into our room a little after 7 and Lynn called back. Well the little stinker wouldn't even talk to him. She must have been feeling a little quite and shy and still trying to wake up considering she's usually my one that sleeps later than everybody. So we woke up the other kids put their coats on and loaded them up and drove over to Heward's.
It was so fun to watch the kids open gifts this year because they are started to understand the whole Santa idea and they can dig right into their gifts and really enjoy what they got and be excited about things. Madison even enjoyed pulling strips of wrapping paper off her gifts. I don't think she was as excited as Cassidy and Statton but she seemed to enjoy the going ons of the day.
Grandpa and Grandma Heward were so helpful in helping all the kids open their gifts.
It was fun to open gifts with Blair's family even though it was crazy to haul gifts back and forth. After gifts the kids played with some of their toys while us girls got some things prepped and ready for dinner that afternoon. We then all got ready and went to church. They had a wonderful program of music and it was fun to see some friends and family. It's always nice to have Christmas fall on Sunday because it just sets a nice tone for the day and really puts the whole season into perspective. We then came home finished getting dinner ready and enjoyed a wonderful meal. I believe all of Blair's family was there for dinner except for lyann and her family. Merry Christmas everyone!
