Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with lots of family and relaxing. We headed down to Sanpete Christmas Eve...the truck was SO full ! We arrived down there about 5:00 just in time for yummy DINNER! My whole family was there...Rachel and her family, Logan, and Kalon even made it down for Christmas! We were so happy to spend time with them. We don't get to see Kalon much so it is always a treat when he is around. We all ate, ate, and ate some more then talked played games and of course opened pjs.
This is Logan and he is such a dork...don't you love his Christmas eve PJs? He is probably going to kill me if he sees this picture posted.
Cute grandkids on Christmas Eve in their new PJs.

After the PJs we read the Christmas story, then we have a tradition to watch the home video of the year before...it was funny, Reddek hasn't changed much he can talk better and is bigger but he LOOKs the SAME! Jade has changed alot. After that the kids got in Grandma's tub, sat out cookies for Santa with a note and went to bed! Then all of us stayed up played this great game called MADGAB, and scatagories. It was so fun if you haven't played madgab you need to try it. We were laughing so hard Reddek woke up and yelled MOM. I go in and said "whats wrong?". His response, "mom SHHH I go ni night." It was funny, but we couldn't keep it down too long the game is so funny! Then of course we all went to sleep so Santa could come.

Then Christmas Morning we all woke about 6:30...usually my sister has us all up about 5:00 and we have to tell her to wait a while. She slept in and Kalon was the one to wake us all up!


Red FINALLY got his Choo choo Train.
Jason and Red by our pile...we got spoiled which we do every year! We got eachother an IPOD classic, clothes and shoes. Then Jason decided he had to go out one day before Christmas and get me suprises. Last year I asked everyone for a scripture holder (they all forgot and I never got it) well this year Jason got me one along with a good book lots of BATH STUFF and my favorite perfume....Ralph Lauren. Thanks!!! I suck I don't get him suprises becAuse we talk about it and decide what we are getting together go shopping pick stuff out and I think I am done shopping for him. Hopefully next year I can suprise him! My parents got us a dvd player for the car clothes candy and a bunch of other stuff. They got Reddek A TON! one of his favorites is the desk above...he loves to draw and color. They also got him a cute cars bath set. It has a comb, mirror, gel, shampoo and foam soap and a fake razor! So now every time he baths he has to shave like dad! It is so cute.
Rachel, Rob and Jade with their pile
My two little brothers and their small stack of presents...they want expensive stuff so they don't get as many! Logan was pretty upset about it.lol
My parents and their pile of presents...it is a tradition that we (all the kids) do their stockings and pajamas and they do ours.

After presents we usually let the parents have an hour rest...then my Grandma Lud usually comes over for Breakfast.
My little family Christmas Day!

This year my mom's dad(grandpa Al) and my dad's mom (grandma lud) live at the same assisted living center so it was nice to go over there and see both of them open their presents. They are so funny they get along very good!
My grandpa Al and Kalon.
We gave grandpa Al candy and nuts because that is what he likes. Well my Grandma Lud can't have candy so we got her dresses and lotion and stuff and she leaned over to grandpa Al and said, "I need to shack up with you so I can have some of that candy!" Then Grandpa Al said, "only if I get to wear one of those dresses!" They are so sweet and we love seeing them!

This Christmas was so nice and relaxing. While I was in Sanpete my good friend Tara Mogle set up a lunch for a bunch of us from high school to go eat at fat jacks(Roy's Pizza) and catch up! It was nice to see everyone and thier kids. We ended up talking about our kids most of the time. I hope we continue to do that whenever some of us are down there. Thanks Tara! I wish I would have taken my camera so I would have pictures of everyone! Tara Mogle (Christensen), Rachel Hansen(Ludvigson), Talisha Johnson(Edwards), Ashley Petersen(Johnson), and Ashley Bougoure-Latchford(Nilson). It was fun thanks girls!!!
We were gone to Nauvoo for a week before Christmas so stay tuned the trip is coming up next!
