Christmas

This was one of the best Christmas's since we have been married.  It was Merrick's first Christmas and Kayton was a little more into it this year so it was a lot of fun.  He knows who Santa Claus is now and will point him out to us when he can. We woke up that morning and read the Christmas story from the scriptures and then opened presents.  We did stockings first and in each of our stockings, we had a thing of powdered doughnuts and after Kayton found those, he wouldn't do anything else until I opened them and let him eat them.  He did have fun opening the presents but after opening like 2 of them and then liking the toys so much, he didn't want to open anymore so we ended up opening most of the presents ourselves. Kayton made out so good this year, it was ridiculous.  After we were done opening presents here, we all got dressed real fast and then went to the Pratt's house for breakfast and also more presents.  We couldn't stay for very long because we needed to get our dinner started and then go to church.  So we did and then afterwards, we finished dinner and then Nate's Mom and sister came over for dinner where we all got spoiled with more presents from both of them.  All the presents were hits.  So we had dinner with them and then that night, we went to the West's house for dessert and more presents.  We ate some delicious pies and hung out with them for a while.  Then sadly the day had to end, so we came home and put the kids to bed.  Wow, was it so great.  The last two Christmas's have been us staying home by ourselves because Nate was on-call for his jobs so it was really nice to be with people and feeling so loved.
