This year we got to spend Christmas at Justin's Parent's house. We were excited because of our work schedule we don't get to spend a lot of time with Justin's family. So we started our drive down on Christmas eve. We arrived after a snowy drive...but mostly clear roads. That day was spent playing games, building puzzles and just visiting. Justin and his dad even had a sauna that night. It is a tradition in their family that all the men have a sauna on Christmas eve (Steams from Dad's mission to Finland).
On Christmas morning Leah was up like usual at 7:30am, so we got her a bottle so that she would be happy until we had breakfast that morning. Once Justin parents were up we all knelt down and payed before we went downstairs. It is also a family tradition that they pray together so they can remember what the real reason for christmas is (Something that I thought was really cool that Justin and I will keep for our own family tradition). Once we started to go downstairs Leah was really funny because she insited that she crawl down the stairs and giggled all the way down them. I think that she knew something was special that morning but really didnt know what it was.
Once we got down stairs Leah went for all of her toys and Stocking. It was really fun to watch her get excited about her new toys and try to figure out what is in her stocking. Leah was really excited when she found out that she had gotten a banana (her favorite thing in the whole world), suckers, yogurt snack bites (another one of her favorite things), bubble bath, and some new bath toys.
Here are some cute pictures of our Christmas morning and opening gifts...
