Christmas Eve!

It took us until Christmas Eve to finally get to the temple and look at lights. 
 Nativity
 Us

 They had a Spain Nativity at the Temple Nativity Display.
 The moment we had long awaited for
 The package was full of letters and wrapped gifts for each of us!
Spain Candy...super rich!

 This is a Caga-tio which means Pooping uncle. It's what they have in Catalonia instead of Santa Claus. It's a giant log that the parents cut down, draw a face on and then hide the presents under the log under a blanket. The kids sing a song and beat it until it poops out their presents. She said "Ya, people are weird here"
As soon as Gentry pulled her tag out I just started crying. I LOVE it! 
 We could not believe it when we each opened our Barcelona Jersey. There was a note with them that said "Welcome to Team Barca!!" and then we had to guess what the numbers meant. 
We guessed mine and Adam's right away.  It's the year we were married. 
We had to wait and ask her during our call the next day what Sadie and Gentry's meant.
1995 was the year our family began and 2003 was the year our family was finished. (Calli has a #20 and then Sadie's is 0 and Gentry's is 3) 
 Our Loot! Oh my goodness, she could not have done any better. She was so generous with her gifts. We could have been done right then and had been happy. 

 Trying out the treats!
 For the rest of the evening we played games, ate junk food, made cookies for Santa, checked Santa tracker (Santa visited Calli around 7:00pm our time-I don't why it hit me so hard but it really made me emotional) and sprinkled our reindeer food on the lawn. Great Christmas Eve!
