SANTA CAME!

What a Christmas! Quinn's parents came up here at 8:00 in the morning, but we still had 2 sleeping children we actually had to go & wake up Caleb & he still did not want to get up, weird kid I remember as a kid not being able to sleep that night. So we did the typical opening all the presents had our breakfast & then we lounged around all day & then headed back up to Quinn's parents to celebrate with all the brothers & sisters. We had dinner then went over to the church & played a little Basketball then headed home (in a blizzard) then my Dad came up & spoiled the kids rotten as well. We celebrate Christmas with my mom the next day & she to spoiled them & us like CRAZY!

CHRISTMAS EVE!

On Christmas Eve we had one of the best experiences ever. Quinn's dad is a Bishop in his ward & some how found a family in Provo that was not going to have Christmas for their 3 kids, so we decide to do a Sub for Santa for the whole family. So our family, Quinn's parents, sister, bro-in law, & Caleb's cousins all headed to Walmart & gave these kids a GREAT Christmas! The boys headed to the toy department & picked out toys for each kid, then me & Pepper went to the clothes & got them some new outfits. It was so fun to see how excited all the kids were to help them out, each of them brought their own money & donated it to help out. Then we came to our house wrapped all the presents & then drove to Provo to deliver them. We knocked on their door & then hid so they could not see us. It was so fun to watch the Dad's face when he saw everything. I hope they enjoyed their Christmas because I know our family felt so great with what we did. Then we headed to Olive Garden to eat & then home to hurry & bake some cookies for Santa, opened our PJ's & headed to bed. I am so grateful for Christmas & the true meaning of it. Thanks for the fun night everyone!
