Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We wrote a letter to Santa telling him to wait and come to our house later since we would be in San Diego.  We still took our traditional Christmas Eve presents--pajamas and a movie and the girls each got to choose one present to bring to open up Christmas morning.  We acted out the Nativity with my dad (who was more than glad to be the donkey once again.  He was always the donkey during our Nativities growing up and it was one of my favorite parts, because he would act silly and buck and stuff.  Good memories!)
Then we opened up our presents and watched our movie.  On Christmas we opened up our few presents then went to the Mormon Battalion Museum and Old Town and then had our super yummy (thanks again, Dad!) Christmas dinner.  It was a simple, yet wonderful day.

 Our new cute PJ's

 Santa still came and put some things in their stockings.  They were such good girls :)

A few presents

 The kids were happy that Grandpa was there, and I'm pretty sure the feeling was mutual :)

 Kenny got to be the soldier at the museum

 The kids loved panning for gold

 We tuckered them out, but they woke up when we said, "Dinner!!"

Merry Christmas everyone!
