Christmas 2016

Chelsea and Spencer came to be with us on Christmas Eve day.  The kids went to see Rogue One together while I stayed home and made gingerbread house cookies and prepared Christmas Eve dinner.  Matt worked until 5 pm.  He had a VERY busy day at the InstaCare.  Check out the pic of him sprawled out on the floor.  He was pooped!
We had delicious ham, roasted potatoes, rolls, and green salad with sliced pears, pomegranate seeds, toasted pecans and feta cheese.  So good.
After dinner, with the movie A Christmas Story playing, we decorated the gingerbread house cookies.  So much easier than making 3D houses.  But just as fun.
Instead of having a pajama hunt, I bought Stance socks for everyone and that is what the kids went searching for around the house.
We gave our presents to Chelsea and Spencer and they went home before the snow came to have their first Christmas morning together in their little apartment.
Christmas Day was on Sunday this year, so we slept in a bit, got ready for church, and then attended the YSA ward at 10:00.  It had snowed a bunch and the roads hadn't been plowed yet.  A little treacherous, but the one hour service was beautiful.  We came home, made a yummy breakfast, then opened our gifts.  It was a relaxing Christmas day.
