A Speedy Christmas

So this year our plan was to have our "Christmas day" on the 23rd, where Santa would come and Kevin would stay home from work and we would just relax and get ready for our flights to Disney that were supposed to be the 24th. Well nature had other plans and when we heard that big storms were abrewing on the 24th we called and the airline put us on flights now leaving the 23rd. Well we found this out late on the 22nd so it became a scramble to pack and hurry up and have a little Christmas (Santa came while we went to Target to take care of some banking business... you have to improvise sometimes as a parent) before we flew out. It was rushed and tiring and lacking in some tradition, but the kids loved their Santa gifts and we did get out the door on time and all was well... Here's a few pictures of our "Christmas morning" which took place about 6pm on the 22nd, after a not so traditional Christmas eve dinner of Hot Dogs at Target.

New Pajamas.

The girls got princess dresses, sunglasses and some other fun toys.
I got Tinkerbell pajamas- in keeping with our "Disney" theme.

Kevin got a BYU snuggie- really what could be better?

And Brayden got the DS he has been wanting for a long long time.

On the real Christmas day we were spoiled to be with every member of our family on my side. What better Christmas gift is there than that!
