Christmas Continued

 Kabree helping make breakfast

Kabree, Grandpa Gary, Keagan and Grandma Sally

    The day after Christmas we got to go visit Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sally.  Kabree was very happy she got to hep Grandpa and Grandma make breakfast.  After breakfast they got to open their presents from Grandpa and Grandma and were very excited to see what they got.  They got spoiled rotten and had fun spending time with them.  We ended our visit with Kabree and Grandma enjoying a cup of hot chocolate.  We are so lucky we live so close to both families and that our girls get to see them all often.

Keagan LOVED her first Christmas!

    This year was by far our funnest Christmas yet!  Kabree and Keagan were both so much fun and so excited it was contagious.  We got woken up by sleigh bells and Kabree said she heard Santa saying "Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas".  They were both wanting to run in the living room the second they woke up.  They both were very good girls this year and they were pretty excited they got what they wanted.  It was so fun watching them open their gifts and play with them.  Grandpa and Grandma helped them get things out of the boxes and get them up and going for play : ).  After presents Grandpa Vance and Zach made a very yummy Christmas breakfast of pancakes, eggs and sausage.  

    Zach, the girls and I joined Grandma JoAnn in going to Malad to visit Grandpa and Grandma Harrison in the nursing home.  They were pretty happy to see the girls and visit with them for a bit.  Then it was back to Arbon for a Christmas dinner, Grandpa Vance's ribs.  Best of all we got to end our night with talking to Eric.  It was such a great Christmas and Kabree and Keagan were so much fun to watch.  We love them so much and love how much more fun they make everything!

Grandpa Vance and Keagan, dreaming of sugarplums

    We are so blessed that Grandma JoAnn braved the winter roads to come and get us so that we could spend the day with them while Zach worked.  We spent Christmas Eve in Arbon, the girls enjoyed playing with cousins and Grandpa and Grandma.  Kabree found a surprise in the bathroom from our Elf Tinkerbell, which she was very excited about.  Zach came out after he got off work.  The girls opened up their Christmas pj's and then Grandma JoAnn used her Fisher Price Little People to tell us the Christmas story.  Kabree LOVED it and listened intently the whole time.  After that we sang a few Christmas songs and then sat down to Christmas dinner.  After dinner we set out cookies and hot chocolate for Santa.  Then it was off to bed to anxiously await Santa!

    Kabree and Keagan LOVED seeing Tinkerbell the Elf again this year!  Every morning Kabree couldn't wait to see where Tinkerbell had moved to.  She was a very good Elf, reported to Santa every night and she must have saw us being good because Santa spoiled us this year. We had lots of fun with Tinkerbell and cannot wait until she comes again next year!
