"We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas! We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!"We hope all of you had a Merry Christmas-cause we know we did (especially Emma and Ellie). We went to the Glover grandparent's on Christmas eve. We had a wonderful dinner (Todd bought the cheaper turkey...only 90 cents a pound 
if you get it black.....so he says...lol. what a character). We visited and enjoyed the kids energy (I know i needed it to make it through the night waiting for Santa to arrive).
We had a fun night and we finised the weekend off with another party at my aunts house where we enchanged gifts...but this year is was with a recipe and ingredient. It was fun to visit, sing, make our HUGE snowman, and watch all the kids play together. 
We has such a fun Christmas, but it was nice to sit back and see all the love that we have for each other, and for our Savior. That is what makes Christmas so special and memorable to me.

We visited and enjoyed the kids energy (I know i needed it to make it through the night waiting for Santa to arrive).Emma and Ellie got lots of fun presents from the family that night. Toys, books, clothes, and Bart and Marilyn gave them all blankets and sleeping bags so they can have sleepovers with their grandparents.
It was great to be with Grandpa Dean. This will probably be his last Christmas with us because of his cancer, but we love him and he looked great. It was nice to have a moment to visit with him-to thank him for everything he has done for our little family.
When we got home, the girls and mom and dad opened our Christmas Eve gift-pjs to wear for Christmas. Emma and Ellie both got Princess pjs. Mom got a nice warm set of pjs that dad bought all by himself (pat on his back) and Andrey got Dr. Pepper pj bottoms (his favorite drink).
We then ate the last piece of chocolate from our Christm
as countdown and got Santa's milk and cookies ready. Emma was so hyper it took her until almost 11 to fall asleep. Ellie was so angry that we woke her up on the way home for all this craziness. She was happy to see her bed.

She was happy to see her bed.We woke up bright and early to find lots of snow outside. Did Santa come?Emma ran to the plate and cup and saw that he had indeed arrived and left without her seeing him. She was so upset and didn't understand why he couldn't wait for her to say hi and thank you. We turned on some background Christmas and had
fun watching the girls open their gifts. Emma got a Barbie from Fairytopia, a pet dog (not rea
l...I don't want indoor pets so that's all she gets till she is older and can take care of one), clothes, my little pony toys, a piggy bank she wanted for her money she gets when she helps with chores, lots of candy, and more toys. Ellie got a pet can (again, not real), tub toys, clothes, baby, stroller (since Emma and her fight over th
e one that they have), and more toys. While they were playing with their 
toys, Andrey and I opened our gifts. I got lots of clothes, the new Hillary Weeks CD ( I love her!), A BIKE (now we can go bike riding), fun stocking stuffers, a cute sweater/jacket that I wanted, and more. Andrey got this calogne that he has been looking for for years. He got nice shirts, stocking stuffers, movies, and more (I can never remember).
After our little Christmas at home, we drove slowly to Spanish Fork to visit Andrey's mom and step dad. We had lunch
there and opened gifts and visited. The girls got more toys and beautiful matching dresses they got to wear the following Sunday to church. I collect Willow Tree dolls and got a WT box with a carving in it and another Summer Angel (my birthday is in the summer). I also got a gif
tcard to Roberts. YEAH! Andrey got a small quad....these scriptures he has wanted for years. He also got a nice new watch since all his others happen to break so easily.

We had a nice dinner and sat down to our big 4 foot stockings that we get spoiled with each year. There were so many fun toys and goodies inside of them. We then did our gift exchange. I made Robyn, my sister, a scrapbook calendar. It was fun to see her enjoy the pictures of the family members on both sides of her family. It was fun to do something less expensive, but put more work and feeling into it. I hope she liked it. We got lots of clothes...and I got....the new Hillary Weeks CD...again...Andrey was in so much trouble for forgetting that my mom told him NOT to get that for me....oops. It was funny to see how angry she got at him...he felt so bad.
We watched a movie and visited till we were all falling asleep. (these pictures will be posted soon).

What a fun Christmas! Aubrey & Emma really need to play together; they have sooooo much in common! Aubrey received that same Mariposa Barbie doll for her birthday last October and it is one of the most GORGEOUS Barbies I've ever seen. My Grandma told me that I probably shouldn't let her play with it because it was too pretty! LOL. :)
