Christmas Fun aka I'm Exhausted!

 The celebration started with Connor's Pre School Christmas party.

 Connor and Britani

 Con and his buddies Luke and Kyle after the gift exchange.

 Mrs. Hagfeldt

 And Mrs. York (nice face Con)

 Then since we would be in Utah for Christmas we did an early celebration with my parents before we left.  Santa paid us a little visit.

 Con liked Santa (yes he is still wearing shorts and a tank top in December, what can I say, he has his own style)

 Shockingly Squid didn't freak.

 Hailee was entertained..

 My niece Grace however did not like Santa at all!

 This is Daniel's "are you seriously making me sit on Santa's lap" expression.

 Loot!

 And more loot.

 Grandma needed a rest from all the spoiling of children. : )

 And Grandpa making some yummy treats!

 Who needs gifts when you have a box to crawl in?

So off we were to Utah.  I was a little nervous because we always spend Christmas at home but we really wanted to spend Christmas this year with Grandpa Law and Nana T.

Every Christmas Eve all the Laws gather at Grandma and Papa's house, it is quite the production with games, food, a talent show, and a program. Daniel and Hailee did a Christmas Zumba dance (so cute) and the Connor told the best knock knock joke of all time.  Why did the chicken cross the road?...... Wait for it......... to get to the other side.  We were dying!!!!!!
Hailee and cousin Montana.
GQ, I mean Daniel with Grandpa and Nana T.
The jokster himself with handsome dad.
So Papa always reads the nativity and all the kids act it out, they have a full costume wardrobe, it is quite the production, I loved it!  Hailee is Mary with a screaming Baby Jesus (the last time we came to Christmas Eve Daniel was Baby Jesus haha) Daniel as Joseph.
Syd was an angel (for like 5 minutes- haha just kidding).
Papa reading from the Bible.
Connor was a wise man.
See she is done being an angel hahahaha.  Jas was so cute, he helped step in to fill a part, the only adult brave enough to do so.
Oh look, a picture of me : )
Con and Grandma.
Hailee and Papa.
Cute twin girls.
Then finally Christmas morning, I think they were sufficiently spoiled.
A special gift from Grandpa, a silver dollar that his grandpa gave to him!



Group shot- everyone thoroughly happy and exhausted well the adults anyway, the kids were still on a sugar high. : )
Ended the day with a Christmas party at Robbie and Annie's house.  What a fun day, and what an amazing trip!
