The night before Christmas Eve we had a sleep over under the tree and watched Christmas movies.
Christmas eve morning we slept in and then spent the morning baking.
And making cookies for Santa.
That afternoon we delivered some gifts to neighbors, friends and a Secret Santa family.
Gentry and Calli were dressed alike which means a picture opportunity
Seriously, how did I get such gorgeous girls.
That night we went to China Palace for our traditional Christmas eve dinner and then back home for games, pajamas and munchies.
Our Christmas Onsies
Love Adam's bum
We got the hilarious game, Speak Out! It was pretty comical! It was after midnight before the girls headed to bed and after 2 am before they finished the music video they were making and went to sleep. Needless to say we had to wake them up the next morning around 9:00 to open presents before sacrament meeting.
Merry Christmas 2016!
They were excited to see Santa brought them Bubble Balls.
But first things first...stockings
The girls had gone shopping and got stuff for Adam and I. It was so cute. Loved the labeling on the gifts. From Angel, Princess and Stink Bug
and from Lynn, Jae and Bo. They got Adam a couple puzzles and me some slippers, lotion and a candle.
Opening gifts: Sadie and Gentry got a Soccer Ball re-bounder.
Calli's favorite gift was a T-shirt quilt that I put together and hired someone to sew it.
It's all her soccer t-shirts
She LOVED it.
Gentry got the Ukulele she wanted. Apparently she wanted one on our cruise but forgot to tell us while we were in Mexico. She had to wait a few months but she finally got one.
Calli also got Missionary Luggage
Sadie was surprised when she opened this Polaroid Camera. She said "Wow, I didn't even ask for this" We laughed because she didn't ask for anything. Every time we asked her what she wanted, she'd say "I don't know" so we had to figure it out this year. Looks like we did okay!
The aftermath!
Gentry trying out a bubble ball
Sadie and Gentry ready for Sacrament Meeting. Sadie in her new dress, tights and shoes.

As we were opening presents it began to snow. It continued off and on all day. sticking just a little. But in the desert we call this a White Christmas!

After presents and church we went to Lyman and Merilee's for dinner.
After a couple minutes I couldn't find Adam. I found him bonding with his dad. He sure misses his mom, especially during the Holidays and loves time with this dad.
After dinner, we went and visited family and then came home for waffle ice cream bowls and games with Isaac and Lindee. All in all Christmas day was a success!!
December usually finds us hosting the BYU bowl game as well. Gentry had been wrapping presents and decided to be a Christmas paper warrior the rest of the night .
We went to Moana and ran into these guys in the hall. 
i was kinda freaking out with terror.
The following week we went to Zion and watched Star Wars Rogue One on the Giant Screen. Love spending times with my family and celebrating the holidays. We've had fun!
