Christmas 2012

Brandon and I had to work on Christmas Eve for a few hours after we got off work, we headed down to my Mom's house in Perry. That night we had our traditional spaghetti dinner, opened pajamas and ornaments, watched "The Christmas Mission," and "Mr. Krugers Christmas." Then we did a puzzle and set out cake and coke for Santa. Then we headed to bed! All of us sleeping downstairs in the same room. So much fun :)

We woke up at 5:30 and started opening presents by 6:00. We were done opening presents by 7:30 :)

We went over to my Dads house at 10:00 and opened some presents there.

Then we headed to South Jordan to Brandon's parents house at 11:00---got there by 12:25 (on december 25th haha, it was cool at the time).

We started opening presents by 1:00 there and finished by 4:00ish.

We stayed down there for a couple days playing games, watching movies, going to movies and having so much fun :)

We came back to Perry on Thursday, the 27th and went sledding!
