We had a wonderful Christmas. We were able to have Nate's sister Ally with us for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The kids were so glad to have her with us. We spent Christmas Eve day playing games, doing puzzles, decorating gingerbread houses, and eating pizza. We went for a ride to look at Christmas lights and came home to find our Christmas pj's from the Christmas Elf. We all stayed up way too late, luckily Santa didn't skip our house because of this. Santa over did it again this year. Sadly we didn't take any pictures of Christmas day. We spent the day Skyping with my sister Aimee, Nate's two brothers on missions, and Nate's family. The Skyping took most of our day, but it was so great to see everyone. Technology is awesome! Nate was preparing Prime Rib for dinner, but the temperature of the meat wasn't rising like it needed too, so we ended up eating our Christmas dinner the day after Christmas. :) It was actually nice to have a good meal the day after and not have to worry about cooking on Christmas.

This is the one picture we got of Christmas, but it was the day after. Gavin's big present from Santa was the Lego Superstars Destroyer. He spent all of Christmas Day and the few hours the next day building all 3000+ pieces. Yes, it is about 4 feet long too. I'm sure Santa thought it would be something Gavin worked on the whole Christmas break, but no, he had it done in about 15 hours. Lego maniac.
