Not too many pictures from this day, I think we were too excited to remember! The girls woke up early. We opened stockings, it was a slow process for Rachel, and we found Tessa's unopened the next day, oops! We showered and fed baby while the girls watched Curious George A Monkey Christmas. Then we read Luke 2 and opened presents. We had a great Christmas this year and there were lots of gifts to open. Once we were done we had the traditional Christmas Brunch. So good. After naps we went to G+G Lamont's for Christmas dinner. Steve and his kids were there as well as Pam and her family.
The big gift for the girls was this doll house. I love it! It's a little too big for Rachel, but great for Macy and we hope will last for years!
Chris had the rest of the week off until after New Years. It was great to have him home and not travel anywhere (that said, I had a 1 month old, otherwise, it was a little weird not to travel). We did a lot of puzzles and watched movies. I got ice skates for Christmas, so we did go skating one day at Millennium Place.
I love these sleds for Rachel.
New Years Eve was busy for us. We went to a skating party in the afternoon. A family in our ward has a backyard pond and stream that we could skate on. The ice wasn't too great, but it was fun skating in nature. Then in the evening we went to the Fixsen's for a family party. It was great. There were activities on the hour for the kids, great appetizers, and then Chinese food. Chris and the girls went out with a bunch of them to catch some fireworks, while I stayed back with Rachel. When they got back the kids watched a movie while the adults played some games. We ended the night with a mock countdown and fancy drinks. I think we got home after 10 pm, a late night for us, but lots of fun!
Isla Fixsen, Macy, Gloria and Lydia Jeffries, Rachel, Tristan Dogan, Stella Fixsen, Wesley Jeffreis, Troy Dogan, Wyatt Fixsen, and Tessa!
