Dixie Christmas

We loaded the car Christmas Eve morning and headed south. While stopping for gas, Jed noticed that the gas was coming out the bottom of the car... lovely! We detoured back to the car shop where they spent an hour fixing the problem and then we headed off again. A few hours past our originally scheduled departure time! We made it to Hurricane just in time for the Beatty Christmas party.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

We could hardly get Lucas to wake up Christmas morning. He was asleep on the living room floor. Kody tried his darnedest to wake him, but with no luck! Once everyone arrived, we forced him awake which he, of course, didn't complain about once he saw the presents!








Lucas could hardly stand to wait his turn to open his next gift. It was so fun to watch his excitement with everything he got. Kody on the hand only wanted whatever ever Talon opened! Although Lucas didn't technically get "a long slide and Christmas lights" he still tells everyone that's what he got! It makes me laugh!
He did get to go to Jumping Jacks to experience their long slides! He and Kody had a blast and Jed got a workout!




We had a great time spending Christmas with Jed's family this year. We stayed up late almost every night... not good for someone who had to get up with two early risers! I had to take a few naps! We played lots of games and enjoyed seeing and visiting with everyone. We came home Monday morning. That night my parents stayed with us on their way back from Aaron and Shara's. We had dinner at the Tawnya's and played a little Rock Band.
We hope you had a very enjoyable Christmas this year too!

It was a wonderful Christmas, I loved every minute of spending time with you guys.
Shane was wondering when we are getting together to play Conquest of the Empire ;).
