ChRiStmAs rEcAp...

wow I can't even believe Christmas has come and gone and we are approaching the new year. time sure does fly!! we went to my mom and dad's for christmas eve and ate yummy food, then played christmas bingo, (where the kids get gifts when they win) and read the christmas story as the little ones acted out. yes, it gets a little hectic with 11 kids trying to act it out. then it was time to open our christmas eve presents (always pjs). this year we opened our gift exchange with everyone that night cause my little sis had to go back to Lehi that night so she wasnt there for christmas day. the kids had a blast with all their gifts. we then went home and it was off to sleep we went. dont worry, i forgot my camera most of the time. yes i deserve... MOTHER of the YEAR award!

its christmas morning....what did everyone get?!

Bryn got a doll house, strawberry shortcake movie, baby doll, clothes and other stuff.

Brax got playstation 2 with few games, a cell phone, clothes, cd, and few other things. Porter got a basketball hoop and movie, clothes a other small things. we also got them Guitar hero. (which is a TOTAL blast!!)

after seeing what santa had left at our house, we went back to my moms to have breakfast. we do this every year. and we give them their gifts. then its back to our house to play with our toys and get ready for the day. then it was off to Johnny and Karis house for our Utley christmas party. more eating, laughing, playing guitar hero, more eating and finding out we are adding not one but TWO new little ones in 2009!! (thats not including Tara's either, so really we will have 3) and dont get your hopes up....mother, its not me expecting either! so this is the result after a very long and exciting day of non-stop plauying with cousins and having TONZ of fun!!
