On Christmas Eve we had an enjoyable day baking together, wrapping gifts and watching a few Christmas movies together.
That night we had our traditional fondue dinner. Then we read the account of the Savior's birth in the scriptures and watched a few church videos about His birth. The girls got to unwrap their new pajamas, a Christmas book and the pillowcases that I made them.
Mackenzie is the first one awake every year on Christmas morning. She came running in to our bedroom at 6:00 to get us up. Steve and I didn't get to bed until after 1:00 so we told her to go back to bed for an hour! We finally got up around 8:00. Mackenzie and Brooklyn were still sleeping.
Santa Claus came to wake up Mackenzie.
And Santa Claus came to wake up Brooklyn.
It was fun to have Santa Claus with us for a while Christmas morning.
We all got spoiled with too many gifts.
Mackenzie was excited about the crock pot that Santa left for her.
Even Kia got a few gifts from Santa. Her favorite was a big tube of 16 different tennis balls.

Every year Steve wraps up my gifts in very unique ways. This year I got a cone shaped gift! He's so silly and I love every bit of that about him!
We had a wonderful day relaxing, being together and talking with our families on the phone. As always the holidays come and go to fast. But we really enjoyed the Christmas break and having everyone home.
