We had a great Christmas this year. We shopped in Salt Lake on Christmas Eve for all of the last minute items, which was about everything. We had a yummy dinner that my sister slaved over while we were shopping. We then opened our Christmas PJ's and read some Christmas stories just like Mom does every year. We put the kids (my sisters and ours) in bed all in the same room... It reminded me of when I was growing up, all seven of us in a bedroom laughing all night and asking Dad if we can get up every 15 minutes. By 5:30, he finally lets us get
up. We could not where our PJ's into where Santa had been, we had to be dressed, teeth brushed, hair done...everything but have breakfast. They did try to one year, but it didn't go over very well. Anyway, this year it was not the kids asking to get up... it was Uncle Justin. I went up to the bathroom around 4:30 and Justin came up and woke up the kids. It was fun to see him so excited. All the kids lined up in the hall youngest to oldest and went to see what Santa had brought them. The rest of the day was spent playing with the things Santa brought, playing games and relaxing... Of course, Justin got in his nap! We all got our Christmas wishes!
