Our Busy Christmas

Christmas was fun this year because our kids are getting older and understanding things more. No pictures, sorry. Drew broke our camera, and we can't buy another one till we sell our Altima, which will go for sale this weekend, cross your fingers it sells quick. I don't like taking pictures with my camera because the quality isn't that great and when taking them inside, the pictures are so dark. So, I had a video to post of Ryan going into Drew's room and talking to him before he came out and his awesome reaction when he sees what Santa brought him, but he is taking forever to transfer it to the computer, as usual, and I want to post this before summer comes.
Christmas Eve was a little crazy because we headed to Utah Christmas afternoon. So I had to have everything ready Christmas Eve afternoon, because everything closed so early and everything is closed on Christmas. We headed to Rick and Karen's house that morning because they celebrated Christmas a day early. They too were leaving for Utah on Christmas Day. Then everyone went home while I went and ran errands. Then, after naps, we went over to my parent's house for dinner and a nice program. This year we did our gift exchange on Christmas Eve so it was quite the busy night. Then we ended with our traditional walk around the culdasac in Chandler looking at lights.
Christmas morning was so much fun. Drew loved the bike he got from Santa, and after waking up Kylee, she loved the kitchen she got. We opened presents that we had under the tree and the kids loved everything. Then we headed to my Mom and Dad's for breakfast and opened their gifts to our kids. My Dad had to work on Christmas and the get together at my parent's house wasn't till 4 PM, but we had a long drive ahead of us, so we just went over for breakfast. We let the kids take a nap and then we headed for Utah.
It was nice that no one was on the road, but the kids weren't all that great past Page. Kylee doesn't like to sleep in her car seat and would cry so long and loud that it would wake up Bryce and Drew. Then we would get everyone settled and Kylee would be calm and then throw a tantrum in her car seat and wake up everyone. It was a little frustrating but we finally made it to Provo. We stayed there for a whole week and the kids loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa and all their cousins. Half way through the week, a huge snow storm came and it was super cold and we got tons and tons of snow. Drew had so much fun sledding. He did awesome and never complained about how cold it was. He was just in heaven sledding with his cousins. We had fun going to my Aunt and Uncle's house on New Year's Eve and headed home New Year's Day in the morning. The ride home was so much better. We always traveled at night because Drew had a hard time during the day but Kylee is the opposite. Now that Drew is older he travels better so I think we are day travelers now. The drive home was way cold...I think we hit negative 10 degrees at one point, but once we got home, it wasn't too cold. It was such a nice Christmas at home and in Utah. Our kids were so happy, that's all that matters!
