Christmas Day 2011

Before I give you the run down, let me just say two things.
1.  I think we should vote to make Christmas be on Sunday every year.
2. I did not take any pictures...I know, terrible right.
With that being said, here is the itinerary for our crazy Christmas Day
7:30: Wake up to open presents
8:00 Get ready for the day
9:00 Church at our parents ward
10:00 Home to change
10:30 Open presents at mom and dad's and talk to Zach!
11:30 Head up to Grandma Hill's house for more presents and lunch
1:00 Quick nap on the couch
3:00 Make our way to Wade and Jen's...wait and wait for everyone to get there
5:00 Open more presents, play the new game again
8:00 On our way again, this time to Grandma Ferrin's for bingo
10:30 Finally heading home to play with our gifts and go to bed
Our Christmas day is always crazy, but we really enjoyed getting to spend time with everyone.  We were very spoiled and are so grateful for everyone's generosity.
Cam surprised me with an Ipad which I have been drooling over since they came out.  He had me thinking it wouldn't happen and of course he pulled it off.  I wish I was as good at surprises as he is.
He got a new gaming chair and a few other nick nack things.  We are both more than happy with all of our gifts.
I can't believe how amazing it was to have Christmas on Sunday.  Not only did we have the whole day off before, the day after as well.  And the best part is that we really get to focus on the true meaning and purpose of Christmas by attending Sacrament meeting first thing in the morning.  I really wish it could be that way every year.  It couldn't have been more perfect.  We had a very Merry Christmas this year.

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve was very relaxing this year.  I loved being able to be home and get things done in the morning instead of having to work like usual.  In the morning I finished up the treats that I had stopped making at 1:00 that morning.  I packaged them up to deliver and finished wrapping presents.  I felt so prepared and LOVED it.  By the afternoon, we were completely ready for all the festivities.
We made our quick deliveries and then we went to Mission Impossible with Wade, Jen and Kylee.  It was our first experience in an IMAX theater and it was awesome!  After the movie, we picked up food from Empire and headed to the Wade and Jen's for our traditional Christmas Eve party.  When we opened our pajamas and  I was laughing so hard because of how crazy it was.  The boys helped open as many presents as they could and as soon as it was torn open they would grab the pajamas and fling them around all excited.  It was hilarious.  Amber gave Cam this hilarious moustache shirt for his pjs and Kylee gave me cupcake pants which are so adorable.
After changing we played this really fun new game that Am and Ty gave Wade and Jen.  It is called Telestrations.  It is a mix between Pictionary and Telephone and we had so much fun with it.
We called it a night at about midnight.  We crawled into bed and fell asleep while watching Elf.  Very festive, no?
