Christmas Eve and Christmas!

 We were so excited and grateful to the Mackley family for opening their home so that we could all have Christmas together! It was one of the best Christmases ever. It was great to get  to know everyone before the wedding!
 Ah what fun the season is. Wonderful pajamas, sleepy bonding time, Santa fun, and the night of the Saviors birth!!!!!!!!!!!


 Christmas morning was sooooo fun! The girls went out with Daddy to see the mess of oats and carrots the Reindeer left from their snack. Why should Santa get the only treats of the night?









The opening of presents was great. I love this pic of Lana it looks as if she is examining the movie!











Opening presents for kids is defiantly a highlight.














Later we went to Temple Square to get a tour. We were able to get a Italian Sister to explain better to  Claudia (Blair's exchange student) and to let her hear a little piece of home!
Emma and Maddy wanted to be close to Mel and Trev the whole time.












Emma even got to hold Trev's hand. Not going to lie I'm sure Emma was in Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 Lana was done. She did not want to walk, talk, or smile for any pictures. And true to her, you can't make her do anything she doesn't want to.




                           She did get a little happier and joined Randall and I for a nice picture!




 After the Temple tour we headed to Denny's for Dinner. When we walked in I was so tempted to ask for a cooked Goose! LOL!! "Christmas Story" anyone?
 It was fun to spend so much time together! And to see everyone enjoying all of it.
