Six Christmases!

Christmas #1 -- Home: We woke the kids at 7 and furiously opened presents so we could be out the door by 8:15. Izzypop got the bulk of the gifts this year. Her favorite is the 3 story Barbie mansion. Even B got into the Christmas spirit.

Christmas #2 -- Grandma Sherrie's: A fun-filled morning full of Fancy Nancy, bongo music and lots of hugs.




Christmas #3 -- Grandma and Grandpa Orr's: Barbie clothes, a sewing machine and mmmmm.....Converse. Layne also opened the Nightmare Before Christmas quilt that my mom and I made. We were pretty proud :)

Christmas #4 -- Grandma June's: Had a great time seeing all the Bennion family. So much fun, we didn't get any pictures. As we were leaving, though, we saw a little girl with a scooter which Izzypop eyed longingly. (She had asked Santa for one, but for some reason, he did not leave one at our house. :) )

"That was a pretty cool scooter, huh?" I asked her. "Do you still think you're going to get one?"

"Yep," she replied confidently, "I just have to keep going to grandparent's houses."

She knows how it works. Ahh, to have the faith of a child again. So...we went on to the next grandparent's house.

Christmas #5 -- Grandma and Grandpa Bennion's: THE SCOOTER!!! (And a much needed nap for both of the little ones.)

Christmas #6 -- Grandma and Grandpa Yo-Yo's: Again, no pictures. We were too busy stuffing ourselves with delicious Christmas Eve leftovers.

End Result: Having zero time at home and 6 Christmases ends up looking like this:

I hope I can recover in the next week before I have to go back to work.

Thank you so much to everyone for a wonderful Christmas. We love you all so much!
