Elizabeth was up about 6 Christmas morning but she played nicely in her room until about 7 when we woke Devin up, which he didn't mind so much once he remembered it was Christmas! They ran out and saw what they had asked Santa for sitting in front of the Christmas tree and they were thrilled! We may have upstaged Santa just a bit as far as Elizabeth was concerned as she seemed more excited about the stuffed Patch from 101 Dalmatians and the vanity we got her than her Furby Boom. But she did love it too! My mom came down and watched the kids tear into their presents....we're mean though and make them take turns. ;) Once they were done Tony and I opened our gifts. It was a wonderful Christmas morning! While the kids played with some of their new fun toys Tony made our traditional french toast breakfast, which we took upstairs and shared with my parents. After breakfast the kids went back downstairs and played some more while my parents and I had a great discussion/therapy session. A little after noon we finally got dressed and ready and headed to Bountiful to my grandparents' house were we had a bit to eat and visited with family for a couple hours. Then we were off to Tony's parents' house for the Johnston Christmas dinner and party. Dinner was VERY delicious, Elizabeth had a great time playing with her cousins and Devin had fun playing with the Little people mostly by himself. After dinner was presents! This year we had the cousins draw names and give gifts to each other. Madison gave Devin Chase(from Paw Patrol) with his police car and two cones, which he loves!(he's sleeping with them at this very moment) Devin gave Keira a Palace pets magnetic dress up play set thing that looked fun and creative, other than the fact that for some odd reason two of the markers that came with it didn't work, she seemed to be enjoying it. Keira had Elizabeth and gave her a fun 3 in 1 lego set with a dog, cat and mouse.....she was thrilled! Elizabeth got Carson a Little People Little Movers truck! Which he seemed to really like! Grandma and grandpa gifts were like last year, they got fun pj's, Elizabeth got a Frozen watch(she absolutely LOVES being able to tell what time it is!) and other fun little things and Devin got cool binoculars that he's had lots of fun with, as well as other fun little things. Tony and I got BYU camp chairs(YAY!!!!!!) as well as a matching fold-able camp table with cup holders! We can't wait to break them in this summer!! After the kids got fun things out of their stockings we gathered everything up and headed home, calling it a truly wonderful Christmas day! Eric was on my mind a lot that day but it was great to be with the rest of my family and to feel so loved by an amazing husband, the two best kids in the world and so many others!
