Christmas

Because we were leaving for the Bahamas and will be there for Christmas we had to send a note to Santa asking him to make a special trip to us early. He came through. Our last day of school was Friday and Friday night Santa came. The boys were very excited.





Even Tivoli got a stocking full of fun.

Before we opened presents Monte read the story about the birth of Jesus from the scriptures.

It didn't take them long to get everything opened. Here are some of their favorites.


This was from Dallin. When I bought the Barbie for the Princess Unicorn I had to buy a 2 pack.
Trenton asked why Dallin gave him that and Dallin said it was just a joke.

Ipod touch and paint ball stuff.

Drum heads and itunes and xbox gift cards.



Dallin is obsessed with Segways. Coming in a close second is getting a golf cart. He mentions one of them nearly every day. Monte finally made his dream come true. I didn't think he would actually get him one. Friday night, our Christmas eve, Dallin's friend Trent called and asked him why there was a trailer in our driveway and a golf cart in his court. We were amazed that Dallin was able to hang out the rest of the night, go to bed, go to sleep, wake up, open presents, all without mentioning this to us. Finally, Monte took him out front and there it was. A shiny, new golf cart! Dallin screamed like a girl and drove it around the neighborhood all day long. I'm sure it won't be long until someone from our homeowners association sends us a letter. I'll go on record the whole thing makes me a little nervous. But they sure are loving it!




All the neighbor kids are loving it too.

Chance's friend Scott and Jeff came over to play too. Our first accident happened when they were driving crazy and Jackson fell off. Dallin didn't think it was fair that I got mad at him because he wasn't driving. I told him it's his and he is responsible for making sure it is safe.
I'm sure he'll do better next time.

We had a great day! Then to top it off later that night we had our gingerbread house party. What a day!
