Christmas was a good one. Zach was asleep on our floor and I loved peeking at him as he woke up and snuck over to the window to look outside. I'm not sure what he was checking for, reindeer? a sleigh? But it was morning and he was SO excited. Last year we kept him at bay long enough for me to go downstairs, start breakfast, give Brady a bottle. But this year he was DYING. I managed to throw part of breakfast in the oven and get the video camera ready while he kept yelling "now!? now!?" Brady wasn't quite sure what was going on but the excitement was contagious so he got pretty riled up too.
The boys got a pretty good haul thanks to grandma and dad (who went a little overboard, I will NOT take credit for that this year!). We opened gifts, had a yummy breakfast of monkeybread and egg casserole and the boys played happily while I rushed around getting ready for our trip! Brady took an early nap and we were able to leave for church almost 100% ready for our flight. We had a beautiful sacrament service, I think there is nothing better than Christmas on Sunday. I got to sing in the choir so poor Dad had quite the job on his hands and didn't really make it through the whole meeting. Brady was pretty upset that I was on the stage and not with him. But I loved singing the Christmas songs, it was a special day.
As soon as we got home from Church we grabbed some snacks, finished packing and cleaning, said goodbye to most of the new Christmas toys and headed to the airport! The boys were great on the flight and I really appreciated getting to Utah in 1.5 hours over 12!
The loot
Zhu zhu pets. Brady is obsessed.
The big one-- a batcave from Grandma Janice and Papa Ross
Another good one from Grandma and Papa. The plasma scooter was a hit! Brady calls it "MY bike!"
A new car ramp. Another hit.
Goofy Zach
Church outfits. No family pics this year, no one to take them!
Superboys on the airplane. They were so excited and so cute.
I can't believe it's all over. It was a great Christmas.
Love,
