and santa came on christmas eve this year! we opened presents on christmas eve because we are out visiting family all day on christmas! and this is what santa brought abbie;
a new exerciser!
then after we opened presents at our house went headed down to idaho falls for the annual spaulding family christmas eve party! its usually at my mom's house but this year it was at my aunt karen's. it was so much fun and this year for the first time ever the stanger family was able to come and that was so nice to have them with us on christmas!
after the party we headed back to my parents house so we could open our christmas ever presents (which is always pajamas).
then we stayed the night at my parents house. and normally my brother cameron and i are up and ready to go by 4am and we are begging tyler and my other brother zach to get up so we can open presents but this year i dont know what happened to me (maybe its being a new parent) but i didnt want to get up until 630! and even then i really didnt want to get up but cameron had already tried to get us to start opening presents twice!
we had such a nice christmas with my family. it so fun to open presents with abbie. i am very thankful for everything my parents got our family and i had so much fun at their house.
then after we got all cleaned up, we headed back to blackfoot to hang out with the smith family. that is always a good time. we got there right on time for dinner so that was good! and abbie opened her presents from nana and grandpa smith. then we did the cousins present and jen's son cameron had abigails name and got her some really fun toys that we are excited about! then we stayed there and played games for a few hours and that was lots of fun!
all in all we had a great christmas and i am so thankful for everything we were given and everything we were able to give and i am so thankful for our families and the wonderful things they bring into our lives!
