Christmas 2012

 
        So this year for Christmas my parents invited Justin and myself to stay at their home and do Santa with them. It really turned out great and the kids really loved it. On Christmas Eve we went over to my Sister-in-laws for a wonderful Japanese Dinner and the reading of the Christmas Story. I really wish I would have taken pictures of this because it was really good. We even got to watch a movie about Christ Birth the kids had fun and it sure was good.
       After we finished dinner and the Christmas Spectacular we drove around and looked at Christmas Lights. We actually took everyone to our lot to see the progress we had made plus by our new house their was a ton of people with lights. It was fun to see them even the ones with the lights tuned in to the music.
    So after that we went to mom's and Dad and got ready for bed, and put out our stocking. Then we all looked at each other and realized that we never made cookies for Santa. oops...so Justin ended up running to the store and picked up some Christmas Oreo's. Leah insisted that we put a ton of cookies on the plate because she said that Santa is Hungry and that he need to eat a lot. It was so cute. Leah was so excited to sleep at grandma and grandpa's house. It was so fun because we usually don't since we live so close. I actually thought it was going to be hard to get Leah to go to sleep. But, NO she got right in bed and then was fast asleep. Of course Justin and I were up until about 1am doing our Santa thing....and Leah was wide awake in our bed about 5:30 am. If she is already waking up at 5:30 man it is going to be hard when she gets older. But we made her stay in our bed until about 6am. We then let her go and jump on her uncle Jordan. I am pretty sure that he appreciated it...right. We then all went to meet upstairs and wait until I checked to see if Santa had come. I then got to take these pictures of everyone waiting to see if Santa was came.
Here are pictures of what santa brought us.
Here are pictures of us opening our gifts and presents.

This year was so fun because Leah was so excited about Christmas and giving gifts to others. It really was a great 2012. We cant wait to see what happens as we move on to this 2013 year. Merry Christmas Everyone.
