Christmas morning, we all waited downstairs until we heard that the coast was clear and that Santa was officially gone. While we were hanging out and waiting, we texted Taylor and Katrina to see if they were already on the road (cause their plan was to drive Christmas day to Utah). They said that they had just left at 7:00 and were on their way. Soon after we heard a wierd noise coming from upstairs and just thought Santa was having a hard time getting through the chimney. Then the doorbell rang. That's odd. Who would be coming over on Christmas morning? Santa must be trying to bring that Rhinosorous through the front door but it's locked. We hear voices and run upstairs... it was Taylor and Katrina! They left at 7:00pm and surprised us by driving all night! That was the coolest thing ever! I was so happy. So, after presents, we went and jumped on the trampoline.... all in our matching pjs by family.
It was so funny. Kristen shared her frosty with Dennis one day and Dennis was in heaven. Then throughout the week, if Kristen had something of the ice cream type, Dennis would bring a chair to the counter to get a spoon and head on over as if it was an open invitation. Luckily, Kristen didn't mind... I don't think.(notice Dennis is the one holding the cup)
Once again, we got 3 boys in a tub. It was so fun to watch them play. I could never get all 3 boys looking at once. I should photo shop the next 3 pictures together.
Dennis LOVES choo choo trains & stories from Nonnie.
Later that day it snowed! Good thing we didn't pack the snow gear in vain.
The 3 boys loved playing this matching game. Its pretty remarkable to me that Dennis can actually play organized games... as simple as it was.
The boys LOVE their Aunt Kristen!
We all helped put the tree away and Dennis was especially helpful. He wrapped the lights around his arm so tight that we had to unwrap them to get them off. Once again I ask the question, "what color are those eyes?"
The wii is always a big part of our vacations. This year instead of Mariokart and smashbrothers we played wii dance and super mario brothers 3 (we started and beat the game all in the week).
This was so funny- Dennis wanted Nonnie to read his favorite book but Benson was already reading a book with Nonnie. Dennis could hardly wait that he started to open the book right on top of Benson's book.
Eventually, Nonnie got done with Benson's book and it was Dennis' turn.
What a fabulous week. Thank you Nonnie and Papa!
Thank you, Kristen and Thomas!
We miss you.

Awww, so much fun! It makes me miss you guys more. I wish we could get together more often.
What a fun holiday. I want it all to happen again. Thanks so much for spending Christmas with us. Dennis has changed so much since we saw you in July. Love Ya!
Is that trampoline built in to the ground?! What a cool idea! I love that! Did someone install that professionally for them, or was it a family project? Is it tiled or blocked inside the hole? Can you tell I WANT ONE!? :)
