I can't think of a title, so here you go
On Monday we spent time at Grandpa Mike and Grandma Sheila's house. We don't remember much about it, but Caitlin and Sal were there.
On Tuesday we walked around downtown Salt Lake with the Brown family and donated at the giving machine that they have set up there. The walk was cold but fun. Elizabeth loved the nativities, and all of the kids loved being with their cousins. The kids ran around like crazy, and we had to take uncle Dan's offer of being the leader of a penguin huddle at each street corner. It kept them all together and relatively warm - not to mention it being fun.
Wednesday there was a basketball tournament at our house where the kids played the adults. Somehow the kids got Dan on their team, so they won. After that there was a late over at our house where the kids went crazy. During the late over Sara declared that she was no longer scared of Bruce, and so she stopped being scared of him at all. It was pretty sudden, but we are happy with it.
On Thursday we went to a family get together and ate egg rolls and played Legendary. Dave liked it a lot, so perhaps we will play it more some time.
On Friday we went to Crystal Hot Springs. It was similar to last time except there was another pool open: a warm but not hot one, which the kids loved, and also the fact that there were cousins there this time, which was very fun. Boo even had a fun time, so we stayed quite a few hours.
Saturday was Christmas. This year we had way too many things for the stockings - somehow we bought them all when hungry or something, and ended up with a ton of stuff, so we packed as many as we could in, and did our best.
Boo got an 18 inch dolly like her sisters' Timmy and gideon got walkie talkies and video games, Sara got a cotton candy maker, which everyone has enjoyed, and Rea was very excited for her pom-pom puppies kit, but when we opened it up it was incomplete. We have obtained a refund from the seller, but need to get her a new one now.
Saturday morning Rea also left to go visit her cousins who live out of state, so that should be fun for her.
Sunday we listened to A Christmas Carol, had a fire, and played legos.
Tomorrow we plan on starting a home renovation project, so wish us luck :)
