christmas was here

and passed way to quickly!
I love this day!
The girls were excited I love those first 10 seconds while they stare in aw, deciding what will get their attention first!

  And it only lasts 10 seconds before they all started talking at the same time..."look at this," "what does this do,"  "what color did you get?"  They wanted robes this year instead of new pajamas, I love them!

Nana and Papa came bright and early to be the first to try the waffle maker I had just opened! Waffles with strawberries and whip cream...yum!
...going way to fast...

soon it was time to get ready for church at first the girls resisted, but then pulling out the sparkly new dresses assured fast showers and excitement for new tights! A quick hour at church was spent listening to some of my favorite Christmas music.  I am fascinated with the harp, beautiful.
Then it was time for Casey's family to come...

Papers, boxes and bows scatted all about.  Treasures to love, cousins to thank and hug!
Grandma and Grandpa surprised the grand-kids with a DISNEY CRUISE!  To say we are excited is such a understatement...can't wait till February!

Nobody makes Hayli smile like Taylor and Kamryn!

 Clyde and Lorraine also gave us matching BYU sweatshirts, we teasingly called them the family uniform the rest of the day! (we missed Cherish and Colton, they were working and didn't make it till later)

Stockings were filled, songs about Christ were sung, memories were made, and saved.
All to soon it was over.
Can't wait to do it again.
Merry Christmas!
