Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve this year we were in New Mexico. We left Tuesday night in the middle of the Eagle Mountain Blizzard and drove down to Moab to spend the night. The canyon was crappy, but we made it safely. On Wednesday, we got up and started the rest of the journey to New Mexico. It was crappy roads to Monticello, but other than that we made it to my parents at 3:30 on Wednesday. On Christmas Eve we took the train (like Trax in Utah) with the kids and they all loved it.  We had the traditional open faced sandwiches and Frappe and read the Nativity story. After that we drove around to look at Luminaries. After we got back to my parents, we put the boys to bed and played Santa to get ready for Christmas.

Christmas Part One

So we did Christmas a little bit differently this year. My side of the family made the plan months ago to all go to my Parents house in New Mexico for Christmas this year since it has been 5 years since we have all been together. So, part one of our Christmas was on the Sunday before Christmas, we decided to give the boys their Christmas gifts from us and the big stuff from my Parents. We got them a Kitchen from my parents with dishes and food and they loved it.  We also had George the elf give the boys their Christmas suits for them to wear to Church that day.  The boys got a Kitchen set with all the pots, pans, dishes and food. They got a tool bench, Car track, Games, and lots of little Animal play figurines.

We had our Christmas celebration with Mike's mom on the Saturday before Christmas too so that we could get all of our stuff done before before we left for New Mexico on Tuesday night. They got Legos from Mike's mom that they are totally into right now, and cars for Garett.

Gingerbread House

We bought a Gingerbread House kit from Costco this year and the boys were so excited to decorate it. Garett was just excited to eat the candy from it.

Greyson's December Field Trip

On December 17th, Greyson had his December Field Trip to see Santa at South Towne Mall. It was a lot of fun and Greyson had a fun time. He froze when it was time to talk to Santa, but mustered up enough to say he wanted a Helicopter.  We ate lunch at the Mall then rushed down to Gavin's school for his December Christmas Sing in. It was a fun day with my boys!

Office Christmas

My boss usually goes all out for Christmas, but this year, it is on. So I went all out decorating my office (with stuff we have a home, but didn't use). I decorated my front and back windows and made these cute little Christmas Trees with the boys, that won the Christmas Office Decorating Contest! Woot!

Christmas (So Far)

Thanksgiving was uneventful this year (Thank goodness!) and we had fun at Aunt Bonnie's with family and cousins being Thankful for all that we have. We sure did miss Uncle Ron this year, it just wasn't the same without him.

So, let's move right into the Christmas season, shall we?  The day after Thanksgiving we set up the Christmas Tree, and Saturday after Thanksgiving, our Elf on the Shelf George came out of hiding. And we decorated the tree on Saturday.

On Sunday, George our elf brought Christmas Jammies for the boys to enjoy this entire Christmas Season.

And last Saturday, Eagle Mountain had their annual Santa on the Firetruck ride through Eagle Mountain that is always a favorite at our House, and when we went to Walmart to do our grocery Shopping, Santa was there also, so the boys had to stop by and say hi.

Last Night George left a new Christmas Book for the boys (I didn't get a picture yet), and I know that he has a lot more in store before he leaves us for the North Pole when we leave for New Mexico. Stay tuned for more Christmas Fun from the Wallenbergs.
