This year we decided to spend Christmas here in Fallon. The kids were so excited to get everything ready for our party on Christmas Eve. It was just the four of us but it was perfect!!! We started off with a dinner of appetizers. Next we read the story of the birth of Jesus from the bible. The kids got to play with the Little People nativity set while Ben read the story. Afterward we watched an awesome video about Jesus that our church put out. Next it was time for Christmas eve presents. The kids went on a little treasure hunt to find their gifts. They each got pj's and slippers which they loved. After they both put them on we played Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii. It was a great night. They kids both went to bed really well considering how excited they were. It was nice to see that we really could do it on our own!!! We are excited to start our own little family traditions at Christmastime.
The next morning was amazing. The kids were so excited to see if Santa came. We had put up sheets all around the tree and told the kids they couldn't peek until we all woke up. We went out and daddy went to turn on the Christmas tree lights and see if Santa came. He did!!!
Makayla got her Cinderella play set and was so happy. She immediately started playing with it.
Kyle got tons of train tracks for his Thomas trains and a cool airplane. He and daddy had a lot of fun putting them all together.
After opening lots of presents and eating a yummy breakfast we were able to go to church. It was a wonderful day. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful little family. That night we had a great dinner of ham and potatoes and then it was time to pack and get ready to go to UTAH!!! Stay tuned...
