Santa says Ho Ho

So Christmas this year didn't really feel like Christmas until Christmas eve, i don't know why but i really didn't want it to come. This years been different for us and really difficult for me. So i wasn't in the Christmas spirit, so to help me out Ben got us a tree permit so we could cut down our own tree. We have a beautiful 9 foot Pre lit tree but it's to big for our house so Ben thought this would make me feel better about not being able to put it up and it did. We went to cut it down in the middle of a snow storm and after much hiking and many snow filled boots we got ours.. it's pretty cute i think,, kind of a who tree but what can you do when you cut down your own. We spent Christmas eve and morning at my parents with them, Jess, Casi, and Kyli.. it was lots of fun, my dad read us a wonderful story, we got Christmas eve Jammie's (always my favorite), got 7-11 hot chocolate and played games.. Christmas morning came and when Hadley woke up it took her just a minute to say Santa.....Santa Claus and we headed up stairs, Christmas really is better with Kids... we opened lots of presents had yummy breakfast and then headed to Preston from Christmas day with the Jensen's.. More food and more presents and then it was time to give Hadley her Santa gift,,, the elves (Ben) worked on it forever and then brought it up stairs,,, her very own kitchen!!!! she was so excited.. i don't have pictures of her getting it cause my memory card was full but I'll post some of it later.. we had a good Christmas and can't wait for next year!!!!!
