Merry Christmas!

Way too many presents...and with living so far away from everyone...I feel like we need to make a shout out of thank yous so no one get left out...so here it goes!
One other thing...Christmas morning...we let the boys open their stocking and one gift from Amanda & Chad then they got their Santa gifts.  We then had breakfast of monkey bread and sausage and Tracen and I headed to church while Chris and Logan got some much needed rest.  After church we all got back into our jammies for the remainder of the day and Logan was feeling much much better!



Smurfs & Nike Sweatsuits from Grandma Barbara & Grandpa Fred
Book of Mormons videos for both boys from Grandma Maree
Iron man for Logan and a cool RC car for Tracen from Gigi & Papa Jay
Clothes and Shark Race Car track for Tracen & Clothes and a Pirate Ship for Logan from Grandma Debbie & Grandpa Steve
A train lamp that really runs from Papa Craig

Star Wars guys and lunch boxes from Morgan, Jace, Kim & Rick
New Jazz Jerseys from Miles, Tyson, Jordyn, Jessica & Jason
Lots & Lots of games from  Kent & Christin
Two Target gift cards from Ally, Zack, Scott & Stacey
Funny story:  I was going to save these for a little down the road when the boys were sick of their toys and wanting something more...but my plan failed.  We were headed to Target and Tracen started asking if he could get something so I told him that Ally & Zack had given him money that he could buy something with.  So when I gave him the gift card he got all mad and bugged that I hadn't given him cold hard cash.  So I continued to explain to him that it was like a credit card and it had $15 on it so he could find something that was $15.  He cheered right up.  So we already spent our money...LOL  Tracen got...more cars and Logan got more guys...I was surprised by Tracen's choice, but definitely not Logans.

The boys also got some cool Monster Sock Puppets that they love to chase each other around with from Kathy.  (Chris has that picture on his phone...so we will update soon)

Thank you to everyone for all the Christmas gifts and helping to make the boys Christmas dreams come true.  We all had a great day and even though we were so far away from our family we still felt the joy of the holiday and the spirit of Christmas.
