2010 Christmas Day

We woke up at 8:30 to open up our presents and had a really enjoyable time unwrapping our gifts.  The kids loved the toys they got and were entertained for the rest of the morning.  I made scrambled eggs, biscuits and country gravy, sausages, hash browns, and orange juice.  Then we headed over to Jenn's house to see her and the kids.  They made a delicious early dinner for all of us and the kids had fun playing with their cousins.  My niece, Emma, came home with us and on our way home we stopped at a couple different places to look at Christmas lights. First we stopped at Loop of Lights and Santa, Frosty, and the Grinch were there!  The Loop of Lights is set to their own radio station and the lights on the house flash and light to the music.  It's really neat to watch and fun to listen to music and watch the lights.  Then we headed over to see Christmas Land. We got out and toured through some Christmas lights.  Then we went home and watched Elf and drank hot cocoa.  "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?"  haha, I love that movie.  Merry Christmas!

Temple Lights

Christian and I took the kids to go see the Arizona Train Lights and Temple Christmas Lights.  It was a fun outing until I discovered towards the very end that my purse had been stolen.  I set it down to have a picture of us taken in front of the Temple nativity.  We started to walk away when I remembered and went to get it.  It had been taken by then.  Someone stole my purse at the temple...what the heck!! Everything in my purse was pretty much replaceable.  The things I'm going to miss the most are the actual purse ( I really liked that purse) and the key fob that locked and unlocked my van doors.  It wasn't done at the most convenient of times either with Christmas only a few days away.

 

 

 

 

APS - Light Parade

Christian works for APS and they sponsor a light parade every year.  The employees spent some time putting some floats together after they worked all day.  The kids and us got to participate this year, and we rode on the float in front of thousands of people.  It was a really fun experience.
