Christmas was great! Carter got golf clubs and a lego Chess set, Hanna got a Nintendo DS and doll accessories, Jake got a Star Wars lego set and soccer goal, Josh got a pirate ship and truck. Geneva got a camera and many accessories and Jared got an XBox 360 and Guitar Hero. We all felt very spoiled! We tried out a new danish breakfast called Aebleskivers. They were a hit.

Christmas Eve highlights
We heated up the hot tub for the first time and went for a dip on Christmas Eve! We performed the Christmas Story of Christ's birth for our grandparents next and wrote a gift to give to Jesus this year. We will save it in a special white stocking until next year and open it up to see if we did it. Then we each opened a gift and went to bed! I'd like to say we got a good night's sleep, but I got up with Carter once and Jared was up with him for two hours (he was so excited he couldn't sleep for 3 hours during the night!)Jared and I remember doing the exact same thing at that age.

Tis the Season for White Elephant Giving
This is a picture of our friends car.... Jared and I went to a Christmas Dinner Party last weekend. The food was excellent (Thank you Carter's) and the white elephant gift exchange was hilarious. We walked away with a book "What your Poo is telling you" and a cookie monster colored robe and four licensce plate frames that read "I LOVE BINGO"!(thank you DI) Now, we could tell right away that these license plate frames were very coveted, so instead of keeping them all to ourselves we decided to share our good fortune with four friends in our ward who were at the party. Yes, you could not find us in Sunday School last Sunday because we were in the parking lot with power drill in hand switching out boring frames for the beloved I LOVE BINGO ones instead. Its made for a fun week as we have seen our friends coming and going through the neighborhood. Just ask our friend Cathy who was at Old Navy last Monday and walked out to not being able to find her car, and then realizing the one with the Bingo Framed license plate was actually hers! They seem to be growing on people, because 3 of the 4 families are still driving around with them on. Anyway, Merry Christmas and I hope you get something better than the "Bingo Frame" and if you "mysteriously" end up with one under your tree next year,(because we may be getting some back now that we have started a neighborhood war), just keep giving the gift that keeps giving.
