Christmas

About a week before Christmas my mom had a Polar Express party & sleepover for the grandkids. We took them on a drive through the Thanksgiving Point Christmas lights and then we made Christmas crafts, watched the Polar Express on the big screen and read bedtime stories to them. They loved sleeping by the Christmas tree.

My parents bought prime rib for our Christmas Eve dinner. It was delicious!!

The kids acted out Luke chapter 2.

Here are the grandkids in their Christmas Eve pajamas.

The kids were all glued to the computer screen. They loved seeing where Santa was delivering presents and got excited when he started to get closer to the United States.

In the morning we made a breakfast casserole and scones. It was all yummy!

Santa brought Kaden the nerf gun he asked for.

He brought Kaylee the Audrey-Ann doll she asked for.

The next day we celebrated Christmas with the Gunnerson side of the family. It was so much fun seeing all of our cute nieces and nephews again. We have really missed them! Here are the six brothers.

The sister-in-laws and granddaughters. So far there are only four granddaughters, but two more are on the way!

All fourteen grandkids.

My sister-in-law Haylee did a great job hosting the dinner/party.

She made these cute sugar cookies for the kids. We loved spending the holidays with our extended families this year. It was also great having Geoff here with us.
