Christmas

Payton leaving out cookies and milk for Santa


We had such a great Christmas this year. It has taken me a while to want to sit down and blog about it, because I guess that means it is really over. It was so fun to see Payton open her presents and want to play with everything right then, and Kayda was so cute, because she put everything she got in her mouth. We started out the day at our house, where we eat breakfast, did stockings, and then opened presents together. The girls both loved their stockings.

Opening up stocking at our house.

After we finished opening presents at our house, we packed up the car and headed to Grandma and Grandpa Evan's house so we could talk to Aunt Aubrey who is on her mission in Portugal. She called right around 10:00 am, and Reddin got to talk to her for a few minutes, before she had to go (she was really calling to tell us that she needed to call back in a few hours, because the phones where not working). So after that we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Redger's house. Where we opened presents and eat lunch.

After lunch and play time, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Evan's house to talk to Uncle Trevor who is on a mission in Tampico Mexico and open present. We had a great time talking while the cousins played I think that Payton might be able to stay up until midnight on New Years, because she was still playing with her cousins at 11:00 pm on Christmas night. Overall it was a great day, I love this time of year and am so glad that we do have family close by to celebrate with. We were lucky to have Uncle Travis and Aunt Stephanie visiting from Buffalo and we miss then already.
