We went to my sisters on Sunday the 23rd for a family dinner and gift exchange for my dad's side of the family. What fun it is to see some of those you don't get to see as often. I love seeing my cousin and her family, and why we always seem to wait until the holidays to get together is beyond me. (sorry- no pics... forgot the camera)
We then spent Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family (which is what we have done every year since I can remember) only this year we decided to do it at my aunts instead of grandma and grandpa's. (We kinda out grew
grandma's house with all the grandkids and their families.) We enjoyed a wonderful dinner as usual with the best turkey ever!! ~~...okay, okay so Corey was in charge of the cooking the turkey this year, and we figured between the 3 BBQ's, a smoker and turkey fryer we could come up with something different. After having a total of 5 turkey test runs in the month of December (thanks to DeLynn and LaShay for always testing and critiquing) Corey did a fantastic job at the two turkeys for Christmas eve. 
~~Well, the kids had a blast running around and acting crazy with all the cousins. The girls seem to think the best part was that they were old enough to hand out the presents when it was time. Grandma and Stacy would read the names but the girls got to be Santa and deliver them. Dallin really enjoyed the whole present thing and started to catch on a little that it was okay to rip the paper. Not that he cared what was in the paper much, but the paper was pretty cool.
For Christmas night we had a great time over at the Sapps for dinner and games. My Parents even came for some fun!! We always enjoy our time with them playing games and letting the kids run around. (They have a little girl Ella's age, Mason) The kids played Disney Bingo, which I highly recommend if you have some kids in the 3 and up range, while we played some pictionary and catch phrase.
