I had to work till noon, then I got home and WRAPPED PRESENTS as fast as I could, then Ashley and Lytton came down and we drove to my Mom's house to spend the evening with her and Grandma. We went out to dinner (Grandma chose Denny's) so we went there and Steven was causing problems with all of us there and he was making the evening a little challenging. He tries to ruin our Christmas every year, so he will no longer be spending the night with us. He will spend the night with Mom if he behaves. Anyway, we went back to Mom's and played cards and had a really nice time with her. We went home about 8:30 and met Zach and Mikell back there. Boston had fallen asleep while driving home from Melanie's so we OPENED GIFTS without him. We got NEW JAMMIES, our new CHRISTMAS BOOK to add to our collection, this years was the LITTLE MATCH GIRL. I gave everyone a new blanket so they never have to go cold. I love this book and I can never get through it without bawling! Then I gave them their new FAMILY YEAR IN REVIEW BOOK FOR 2013. This is always the highlight. I love making this for them and they enjoy seeing all the fun things we did together for the year. It's great because it will always be part of their history. I love it!
Then I read them a new CHRISTMAS BOOK about the Savior and it was a good one! We then just talked and enjoyed each other so much. It was a real peaceful end to the evening and we would have been happy if that's all the Christmas we got. It was just a really great feeling in my living room tonight. But we are excited to see what SANTA brings tomorrow. It will be especially fun to watch BOSTON! I so look forward to it!
