We had a wonderful Christmas season filled with family, friends, wonderful food, presents, and the spirit of Christ. Christmas Eve day we had the opportunity to go on a horse drawn wagon ride courtesy of the Johnson family. When we got there Jake wanted to warm the horses up and told Jace he could ride on the magic carpet. A black piece of plastic dragged behind the wagon along with a sled. 
Jace loved it and after that I couldn't get him to ride on the wagon so he spent the rest of the time being dragged behind the wagon in heaven. 
We had a wonderful time with Daniel's family hearing the sleigh bells ringing as we rode through the snow. After it was done Jace even got to get on top of one of the draft horses to warm up.
Then it was time to head home to get warm and ready for the Christmas Eve party at Kent and Robyn's house. This is a tradition that we don't want to miss. Jace loved wrestling with Cooper 
and playing with all the presents.
It's a night that we have to end with the picture taken of all of us to document it all. 
Then it was home for Jace and Ashlyn to open thier Christmas eve presents of Christmas pj's and a book. 
Then it was time to go bed. The next morning we had a great time seeing what Santa brought us and opening presents at our house. 
Jace's loot (Santa gave in and gave him a skateboard to bad he forgot a helmet.)
Ashlyn and Daniel sitting by Ashlyn's stuff. Santa must know that girl clothes are way funner than boy clothes.
Then it was off the Christmas breakfast at my parents. It is always so yummy and it is now so fun to hear my nieces and nephews talk about what they got for Christmas. Then we had to hurry back to Kent and Robyn's to talk to Dallin on the phone. He sounds so good. It is hard to believe he will be home in two months. Then we opened presents and enjoyed another delicous meal. Then we got to relax and let Jace play for a little while before it was back to my parents. We had dinner there and opened more presents. Can you tell my mom loves to get Christmas presents for the grandkids.
This is Jace he had fallen asleep on the way to my parents and was so totally worn out that we set him on the chair and he slept for about an hour in the middle of all the commotion. Though when we woke him up and he heard presents he got a second wind
