First Christmas

So our Christmas was jam packed full of great fun with both families. It all started on Christmas eve when we went to go look at Christmas lights. We couldn't decide which hat for Maddyn to wear, but we went with the blue one.

Then we were off to look at the lights. There were so many cool lights ever for Blanding. Bet you never would have thought you would see a video like the one below here in our little town. It was great fun.

Then we had to go back to the house to leave a note for Santa. Luckily Avery and Trevor took care of that. You can see which note they wrote and then the note that followed from Santa the next morning. The note from the boys said Dear Santa, we spent our day preparing this meel for you so you. We know that you will eat all of it. I no that you get a lot of cookies so we thot to make you sum reel food. Hop you like breakfast burrito. Mary christmas. The note from Santa says. Nice try you naughty little boys. I found enough of my own food on the counter. Thanks and Merry Christmas, Santa.

The next morning was so exciting for Niki. She woke up at 7:30 and no one was awake. not even peanut. At 8:30 we decided to go in and wake her up. This is how we found her. we have to sing to her to get her awake. Peanut had tons of fun opening presents. However, she did not like how she would open one toy and just when she got into it we would take it away to open another.

After we opened presents we went outside to play in the 8 new inches of snow we got that morning. We had a total of 16 inches in the back yard. Peanut had fun watching us from the window and cheering us on. We played the rest of the day with the Wii that Niki got for Christmas and then packed up for our 14 hour trek to California to see Niki's family.

For the most part Peanut did ok on the trip we had to stop a couple times to have her stretch. One of those times when we were stopped, Trevor opened the back door and as soon as Maddyn saw him she smiled and said Dada. We are so counting it as her first word!!! It was so cute.

When we made it there, we had Christmas with them and spent the rest of the time playing the Wii and mastering Guitar Hero World Tour. We have the greatest band ever. Maddyn got a walking toy and is getting really good at it. You can't tell by the video but she practiced a lot after that. We made it home safe with another 14 hour trip. Trevor is off until January 5th so I am sure we will have more exciting times to come. Stay close to our blog to find out what we did the rest of xmas break.
