Christmas Sunday is always amazing. We had great choir songs and great speakers. I love Jesus Christ. I love celebrating his birth, life, death and resurrection. After church we had our sibling gift exchange! Tiago gave Cali Sweats, Cali gave Ray air hockey, Ray gave Tiago fuseball and a banana, Packer gave Rose sweats, Rose gave Millie earings and Millie gave Packer a blanket.
We went to McDonalds a day early since the next day is Sunday. We had fun with the adult size Happy Meal! The craziest part was Amanda wanting to collect them all and telling her family that they needed to get the happy meal. Then Diego introducing the concept of the Golden Egg – one golden at every location. And then, THEN, Arri gave Amanda her unopened toy and it was A GOLDEN NUGGET!! You can only imagine how excited we all were in this moment! I’m still excited just remembering it 🙂 Since then she has completed the collection.
That night we drove around to see some Christmas Lights!!!
And Benji kept the McDonalds tradition alive out in DC!
On Friday Morning we all went and frosted cookies with the Hancocks and friends! Erica makes so many cookies and we frost as many as you want. SO so Fun!
Cali And Rose let me bribe them with a drink and they cleaned the Toy Room – My Christmas Elfs – And Chewey the Elf. And as soon as the Toy Room is clean then Millie and Tiago had some fun in there. More haircuts and poor Dad ended up in the hospital on December 21 – he had sepsus and some gall stones? He spent a few days trying to get the heart rate down and the infection identified.
And we finished up our Christmas Shopping for all of the cousins!!
Chewy is here. Grinch Food. And Packer did well in his tournament!
I went to the Manila Magic Concert at School because Ben’s work party was at the Exact same time – again – just like last year. Ray, Millie and Tiago were good up there… The party was at the Hotel – Downtown Salt Lake. We had a fancy dinner and then some comedy entertainment. Socializing wasn’t too bad -we got to sit with Zoob and Jen and Brent and Lilli and Sean and Cami and …. Merry Christmas SalesRabbit!
every body is on the nice list
We put our fake tree in the front window with all of our travel ornaments on it! Another Pday in Mexico! Benji seems to be doing good and getting along with his ditrict and his funny teacher. I finally replaced the leaking faucets in the kids bathroom. And PACKER got to WRESTLE VARSITY at the Dual!
Elf is still the best movie to start it all off. Mom was here :). Egg Nog and Hot Chocolate!! YES — I went up to my bed but the kids all slept there.
