Christmas

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. Having Talin with us this year made it a lot more fun. On Christmas Eve we spent the day with Brandon's dad and his wife. First we opened presents at their house, went to lunch at Bajio's and then went and saw the movie "Tron." I was a little disappointed with the movie. Plus I spent a lot of time in the hallway so Talin could run around and use up some energy. Later that night we went to Grandpa Prescott's house and ate pizza and did a few more presents. It was a great day.

On Christmas morning we got up bright and early and drove to my parents' house in West Jordan. Our tradition is to have breakfast on Christmas over there, and boy is it yummy! Then we all opened presents.




Talin wasn't really interested in opening presents. He got distracted by other things & people around him that he didn't want to sit still and open presents. Oh well, maybe next year he'll be more into it.




That afternoon we drove up to my Aunt & Uncle's house in Farmington and ate more food and opened more presents. It's good to see my extended family since I really don't get to see them that often anymore.

Brandon and I didn't open our gifts or the gifts we got for Talin until Christmas night. We kind of spoiled each other this year. Brandon got me a cricut, a mixer, and some shirts (that he picked out all on his own!). I got Brandon some parts to go with his new rifle his dad got him. Brandon also bought a gun few a months back and that was part of his Christmas too - talk about an expensive hobby! For Talin we got him some clothes and jammies, a ball, bath toy, cell phone (fake one of course), a fire station with cars, a wagon with blocks, and some books.




The day after Christmas we went to church and then spent the day at Brandon's mom's house. Of course there was more food and presents. (I've been trying to watch what I eat and exercise to get ready for a cruise we're going on in a couple weeks, but I blew it this whole weekend. I was pretty depressed by the time Monday rolled around haha).



Talin got so spoiled this Christmas. He has more toys than I'm sure he knows what to do with. And his birthday is this week too!

Well another Christmas come and gone, and another year too! Where has the time gone!

I think that that is a great tradion that you go over to your mom and dad's house to open gifts. The first grandkid always gets spoiled so bad on Christmas' and birthday's. I can't believe it has already been a year since you had him. Merry Christmas :)
