Christmas at Grandma Phisters

Of course it would work out that Mike got home from a job on Christmas Eve and we weren't there:( He had to be on-call for the next week so he couldn't come out to Ogden. It was super late by the time I knew it, so he was home alone on Christmas morning. It was a sad day. The third Christmas we'd been apart in five years. I'm so grateful for all the technology we have today, because Mike at least got to Skype with us and watch the kids open their presents. It ended up being kind of fun. The kids loved showing their Daddy their gifts through the computer.

Lincoln asked Santa for a "rocket that can fly up in the sky"

Sequoia asked for a "dinosaur." She loves to play with boy toys:)

Ty in his awesome camo get-up.

Thomas the Train. He loves things that have directions with them that he can follow.

Quoi got a big set of play food.

Camo for Grandpa

He was not too excited about a girly show Mom picked out for them. Or for me?? I love Anastasia!! Me and the twins were singing along later that morning.

Yuck, so pretty in the morning. I had been talking to Mike on the computer. I wish I would have gotten his cute little face too:)

A dinosaur... and princesses. Love this girl!

Linc and Grandma

Koban and his Toy Story 3...

Sequoia took Koban's Buzz. Quoi!

Cute little Max and his Daddy

Loved his Christmas diapers!

Mason so happy to get a picture taken:)

And so was Tenille...

We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa and loved getting to be there for Christmas with (almost) everyone. It was fun to be there when Kimi got engaged to Tanner! Lincoln absolutely loved getting to hang out with his Uncle Ty, riding and feeding horses, feeding and chasing the chickens, playing with the tractor, playing videos, and just playing with him. Linc was Ty's little sidekick when he was around.

But after all the fun, we missed Mike! So on Christmas day after church and our big family "breakfast," we took off about 4:30pm and drove home. We made it home a couple minutes before midnight and got to be with Daddy on Christmas Day! It was a great holiday! :)

Ready for a brand new year!
