Lewis Family: The Holidays!!

So I thought I'd send a recap of our holidays! Christmas Eve we went to Lehi and hung with the Lewis Family. (Minus Jason & Mandy, they were in Oregon) We had dinner and opened gifts. Then we went home and put the kids to bed. I got up at 1 am to feed Brandon and Kayden had woke up. I told him to go back to bed but he couldn't. He woke Derek up and they kept coming downstairs to get us up. After multiple attempts of trying to get them to go back to bed, we finally said lets get up (mind you it was 4:30 am) Santa brought the family a Wii, Kayden got a remote control helicopter and some art stuff, Derek got a Power Ranger and an art kit and Brandon got a Fisher Price Barn. We opened all our gifts, got dressed and we made it to Lehi by 7 am. We waited for the rest of the family to get there and we finished opening gifts and had breakfast. The boys got these fun cars that drive on the wall from Grandpa & Grandma Lewis, Arlund got a really cool sleeping bag and I got a cricket, which I have had a blast with, it is awesome! Then Saturday morning we went to Ephraim for the Ray Family Christmas Party. We did not draw names this year, instead we got together and made quilts, pillowcases and fleece blankets to donate to Primary Childrens in my nephew Keaton's name (who passed away at 3 days old due to complications with heart surgery) All the grandkids helped and it was alot of fun. We took a break midafternoon to go sledding and came back to finish quilts and have dinner. My niece Jacey also came back from sledding engaged! We are so excited for her. She is going to get married this summer sometime, no date set yet! We celebrated the New Year in Lehi since Jason & Mandy were back from Oregon. We had prime rib, shrimp and all sorts of goodies. Then we played Apples to Apples and Scrabble. We even celebrated with a few fireworks. Our friends James & Waiva came as well. I was so glad they came because it was the first time I got to see baby James and he is a cutie! The Holidays were good, too short but glad they are over.
