I don't think the excitement of Christmas ever goes away, even as your kids grow up, there is still that excitement of what surprises will show up Christmas morning. Even the dog got a surprise this year :) After the morning festivities out our house we always get to enjoy a yummy breakfast with our awesome neighbors hosted by the Clarks. What a fun tradition this is! The kids love to see their friends and I must say the adults love to see each other too. Oh, and the food is always YUMMY! After breakfast we always get a fun visit from both Grandparents. The kids love to show what new stuff they have received.
After a little rest and relaxation we then get to spend the evening with the Watkins family for more Christmas fun. Our tradition for this get together is to have breakfast with crepes. YUM! This is definitely a favorite for all! We also do the fun gift exchange and "sock gift". As you can see the boys all got a entertaining gift from grandpa and grandma. These toys entertained them until they all starting breaking, but they were fun while they lasted. It's always a fun night together as a family. This year did not disappoint. We all got a little surprise this year when before the night ended, Grandma and Grandpa had a special gift for everyone. They had a card with poem for each of us that told us that they were turning their papers in to serve a couples mission for the Church. This is something Grandpa has always wanted to do and apparently finally talked Grandma into going. It was a fun but a little emotional surprise for the evening. It will be fun to see what the next few months bring as they await their call.
