Christmas 2012

Okay, I took WAY TOO MANY pictures on Christmas so this post is only going to get a small taste of our fabulous day together and with our extended families.  It was a wonderful day and I am so, so grateful for the generosity and kindness/thoughtfulness of my family and I am especially so grateful for the celebration of our Savior on this day.  How grateful I am to have a Savior and a testimony of Him!

Well, here was what Santa left for the kiddies this year!

*Sleds, scooters, tea sets, dress-ups, shirts/pj's, slippers, books and a few small toys*

Yum-yum!  Santa ate up almost all of his cookies and he took almost all the carrots out to the reindeer too!

Rio and I showing off her adorable head bands from her stocking.  She insisted I wear one too!  Oh man, she's beautiful isn't she?

Spence and the boys showing off their dress-ups & little stuffed puppies

Spence and Logan opening up his stocking gifts.  I wrap up all their stuff in their stockings (a tradition from my granny) and Santa also leaves a few goodies :)

Woo-hoo!!! We got the kids hoppity horses this year too and they LOVE them!  They are so cute to watch hop around

After our fun, we moved onto the Morris fam household and enjoyed everyone there.  Grandma and Grandpa Morris got the trips a Rapunzel doll and the boys got Flynn Ryder.  They were on cloud 9!  Thanks so much - this is where they hung out almost the entire time we were there playing with their stuff.

All Hail King Jax!

Mike's mom (so my brother-in-law's mom - so incredibly nice) made these for the boys so now they have "boy" dress-ups and don't have to wear Rio's princess dresses.

Aren't they absolutely adorable!!!  She is amazingly talented and so sweet to do that for us - thank Kristin and Grandma Jan

Here's Austin's "kingly wear"

We got G&G Morris a hot air balloon ride this year for Christmas.  So fun I thought.  Bonnie had mentioned to me a few years ago that she really wanted to do that "someday".  Well, someday is now :)

My parents got the kids their scooter helmets and they wore them around almost all night.  Halle joined in the crew for this pic with my mom

Here is some of the Fank kids (Zak, Anna, Ella and Gabe) and my dad to the left.

Rio, Logan and I wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful day with our incredible families!  Love you all so much!
