Christmas 2009

Christmas morning, Ella was mad.

Ella after finding her present from Santa!

We had a great Christmas and were definitely spoiled by both of our families. We spent Christmas in St. George this year with Zach's family. We start out with a big family dinner on Christmas Eve, then played some fun games, then Santa drops off all of the kids pajamas outside on the grass. He wraps presents and puts balloons around them since he is in such a hurry. Then Zach's parents decided for Christmas this year that they would surprise us with a trip. We were all anxious to find out where we were going, and woke up early to find out. Of course Keri had a crafty way for us to find out, so she sent us on a little scavenger hunt. We were way excited to find out we are going on a cruise to the MEXICAN RIVERIA for seven nights. We leave in a couple of weeks, and are so excited to go!

We had to get back to Salt Lake so Zach could work, and Keri talked us into leaving Ella until New Year's Eve. It definitely was a boring week without Ellabug around, but we were glad she could enjoy some time with her grandma, grandpa, and aunts. She definitely had lots of fun, and was spoiled the whole time. We were ready for her to get home, and she was excited to see us.

Then on New Year's Day we celebrated Christmas with my parents. Every year my parents give us money, and always do a little scavenger hunt. This year they were kind and gave all of us a lot of money. We were so greatful, and couldn't have asked for a better Christmas from both of our parents. The best thing about the whole season was spending time with family. We are so thankful to both of our families for everything they do for us. We love you guys!
