Christmas 2011

For Christmas last year, we stayed home and some of Hyrum's family came to visit! His brother Jay and girlfriend Kassie, and his sister Katherine and daughter Abby. My mom was also there, so it was a lot of fun!

At our ward Christmas party a few days before everyone showed up, Claire was walking through the hall at church with Hyrum when she saw the Santa for the kid's room. She looked at him and loudly said  to Hyrum, "He not hold me!" We had been telling her that some kids like to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas, I guess she didn't agree!

On Christmas Eve, Hyrum dressed up like Santa and paid a visit to the girls. They were SO excited, they loved it. And I love these videos.

 

They both couldn't wait to tell Hyrum about how he missed Santa's visit.

She doesn't look very pleased.

Then the women stayed up late making sure that Christmas morning would be magical.

One night we went to Chuck E Cheese and everyone had a blast!

 While they were here, we also went to In-N-Out (of course) and looked at Christmas lights in a crazy lit-up neighborhood. We also went on the Train of Lights that was fun, but I don't have any pictures! We are so glad you all could be here!
