We had already had Christmas at our house in Utah, but keeping with tradition, we had Christmas breakfast at my parent's house with Jen and her family. We had a few gifts to exchange with them and spent the rest of the morning lounging in our pajamas.
Even with all the candy around, Paige wanted to eat Grandpa's orange. :)
I love low key mornings! When we were done, the big kids left to spend Christmas with their dad since it was technically Christmas Eve. We spent the afternoon visiting with our good friends, Nick and Kristie. We were once again reminded how much we miss our friends! It was so nice to be home with my parents and spend time with our friends.
The next morning, we piled back into the bus. It was raining and gloomy, but we were happy to be headed to see the rest of our families in the Sacramento area.
While we were driving, I noticed how green and beautiful it was. I didn't realize the lack of color in Utah in the winter! It's white and brown and that's all! I check my cameras at home to make sure my house was still in one piece and to see what the weather was like. I saw my sweet neighbors plowing my driveway on their Christmas! I felt blessed to have such wonderful neighbors looking out for me while I was gone!
We didn't have as much time as we had hoped for at to my uncle Steve's house, but we were happy to see everyone while we could.
We had dinner and then went to see Jason's family at his sister's house.
It was stormy over the pass, so we ended our Christmas marathon with a 16 hour drive home! It was stormy over the pass the northern way, so we woke up super early and went the southern way to try to beat the storm coming in to Utah the next night. The drive wasn't too bad and well worth the time we got to spend with our loved ones.
