The Kids Table is SOOO cute... I wanted to sit there
The other day I was trying to fix my iPhone which has been glitchy lately and randomly turns itself off. So in my attempt to back it up to my computer I somehow restored my iPhone back to 2013! It was so creepy, all of my text messages were ones I had sent to people I knew from Utah State. I also lost all the photos I had taken since 2013. So, unfortunately, a part of my Christmas break won't be featured on the blog including all the photos for my Hot Cocoa post:(. Fortunately, we got a new camera for Christmas and I have all the pictures from Christmas day and after.
So... jumping to Christmas morning, we awoke to a fresh, perfectly thick blanket of snow on the ground. I haven't seen that much snow in a while, super beautiful. Chris was so excited, it was a picture perfect white Christmas morning. We woke up, ate some delicious monkey bread and cocoa, then gathered 'round the Christmas tree and began to open up gifts. I always love seeing everyone's faces when they open their gifts. After we finished tearing into Santa's surprises, we put on our Sunday best and decided to brave the slick roads and head to church. It was good to take a break from the hectic fun and reflect on what the day was all about. It was also great to hear our niece and nephew sing in the children's choir for the congregation.
After church, we made the journey to Chris's aunt's house in Layton for Christmas dinner. It was still so snowy I was worried we were going to slide off the road. Luckily we were in good hands, Jimbo got us there safe and sound. Upon arrival, we were greeted by lots of family and good food. I've heard Chris talk about his aunt's rolls and cream cheese lemon bars since we started dating and I finally got a chance to try them. It all certainly lived up to the hype. For people who don't eat, they do pretty well.
For Christmas, Chris' brothers and cousins all got race tracks where you race cars controlled by your phone. It was so cool! After dinner, we combined sets and made a mega track. We were entertained for hours and hours. After all the fun was over at Chris' aunt's place we headed to my Aunt's who lives nearby. We made some extremely ugly sweater cookies. It was great to see so much family all in one afternoon. When we got home we all played a game of trains, watched a movie, and ended our Christmas snuggled up by the fire. Chris and I's first Christmas together was definitely one for the books.
