Christmas in Utah

Because we spent Christmas in Oregon, we made special arraignments with Santa to visit our house on a different day.  We were able to do our own family Christmas when we got back from Oregon. 
This was our tree.
 The night before we make cookies and decorated them.  The kids loved it, and did a pretty good job. 

 We left a plate out for Santa and some carrots for his reindeer.  This is what we found in the morning. 
 The kids got to get out their gifts from Santa before breakfast.  Isaac got a crane from Thomas.  It is almost as tall as him.  He was very excited about it. 
 Emily got some dolls, and if you look closely you can see her holding them tightly while she drinks her milk. 
 This is the crane.  Isaac played with it nonstop for almost a week. 

 After breakfast we opened all the other gifts.  Dad passed them out to us, and the kids had a blast opening even more presents. 

 Emily got a stroller, and absolutely loves it.

It was fun to be able to have our own Christmas, and it was especially nice because Aunt Gayleen got to come over.  Santa even left her a stocking!
