It is time to recap on our awesome Christmas vacation! For us Christmas started on Thursday. Dalan and I did our own Christmas and opened presents together. We ate waffles, bacon and eggs. It is so much fun to spoil Dalan, but he spoiled & surprised me as well. He bought us a new laptop! And for me the prettiest shirt and cardigan, earmuffs to survive Logan's cold air and the book & movie The Help. Which he may have regretted when I was a super boring passenger as I read & finished The Help on our way to Idaho on Friday :) I tried to be fun, it just kept pulling me back. We got to Idaho in pretty good time and it was so great to see my family! I met up with some of my friends at Moxie Java to reconnect and I realized how long it had been since I had seen them. It was so much fun to chat and catch up on each others lives. Those girls are friends that will last a life-time. P.s. If you want to try a great winter drink at Moxie, try the hot cholocolate with the roated marshmellows in it MMmmmm. So good. but I can't remember its official name . . . .
Christmas Eve we had a huge shopping day. The boys went one way and my mom and I in another. It was so much fun to go shopping with my mom and find great presents for my brothers and sisters.
That may have been one of my favorite days! That night we had a great Christmas Eve dinner with my Grandma Gayle. Wrapped some presents and we all ran around excited for Santa to visit.
Christmas day was so great. I got up super early to beat my brothers and sisters up, got ready for church and Dalan and I went to the house to wake them up. It was so fun being there as they first woke up Christmas Day. Everyone was so excited that Santa had come. My family's Christmas tradition is that we had to sing Christmas songs to wake up my parents before we could leave our room. It is hilarious. Singing is more shouting and it is so fun. Santa bought me some dang cute boots and a new pair of jeans! and brought Dalan a nice wool coat he had his eye on.
We went to church and they had a great Christmas presentation. Came home and played with our new toys and left for Mountain Home for an amazing Christmas dinner and more present opening! And a dance competition with the new Just Dance 3! My awesome sister Grace got me a cute scentsy with Blueberry Cheesecake aroma. I love it! It has been going all day :) I also got tickets to Lady Antebellum!! Ah! I can't wait! 
Monday we went Bowling! It was so much fun to be with everyone cheering and laughing. My Mom is the champion bowler followed by Dalan and my Dad. I am somewhere farther down the line . . . . It was so much fun.
Tuesday was our last day and it made me sad. We packed up our stuff and after lunch we headed back to Utah. It was so much fun being with my family. They are the best ever. I can't wait to go back up to visit for Grace's baptism! We are so excited for her.
