Christmas Day we spent at our house. In the afternoon, after talking to Morgan, Grandpa and Grandma Davis and Austin came over. We loved being at our house for Christmas and will continue this tradition in the future. Spence and I woke up before the kids and I got my present, a great camera, and used it the rest of the day. We had breakfast when the kids woke up and finally got around to opening our presents at about 9:30am. The presents didn't take long, but we had fun. The kids started to learn to unwrap presents. After opening presents, we just hung out and the kids played with their toys. They enjoyed the relaxed day playing in their pajamas all day.
The day after Christmas, we drove to Cache Valley to visit the rest of our families. We had Olsen family pictures the afternoon of the 26th and then we went to see Grandma and Grandpa Erickson, Miranda, and Kayla. We had fun playing with them and it was even better because Chris and Jamie were visiting too. We stayed over that night and had fun playing games.
On the 27th, we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Olsen and Donnell. We had lunch and enjoyed a great visit.
Here are some pictures from our Christmas fun.
Christmas Eve
During Christmas Eve dinner, Blair was a little cranky and wasn't too interested in eating. After deciding we wouldn't force her to eat what she didn't want to on Christmas Eve, we looked over to see her sleeping in the high chair. She has never fallen asleep there before, but we had a big day and the naps were short. We leaned back her chair and she slept there for about forty-five minutes.

Jazz jerseys from Grandma and Grandpa Davis - Thanks! Dad was thrilled.
New Christmas jammies
The Kerrybrook Ward (the ward for which Spence is the high council rep) had their whole ward light these luminaries on Christmas Eve. We don't live close to their ward, but we put ours out too. We drove through the Kerrybrook Ward that night and it looked pretty cool with the luminaries out at every house.

The kids playing in the wagon from Grandma and Grandpa DavisThey love the wagon. Christmas night Davis played in it for about forty-five minutes straight. It is still in our house now and they love getting pulled around in it. They'll have a great time when it's warm outside and we can really use it.

Davis cuddling up with Aunt MirandaThis was right before bedtime and he was so happy snuggled up to her. When I picked him up he cried so hard; he didn't want to move. Miranda is a wonderful aunt and the kids love being with her.

Great new pics! That camera of yours is pretty darn cool! We love the updates and the kids are DARLING as always. I can't believe how much Davis is looking like Spence these days.
It looks like you guys had a ton of fun this year! Isn't it great living close by family to be able to share the holidays? The twins are adorable, i can't believe how big they are!
such cute kids! I think little people toys are the best because they love them when they are little, but my preschoolers beg to play with the little people toys if they aren't out. :)
