Merry Christmas!!

Ok so I know this is a little late but better late then never right? I am typing this with one hand as we speak and feeding Rowan with the other so this might take a while lol. The year Gavin was born we had decided not to put up our tree because I didn't want to have to worry about taking it down. He was born after christmas so that was fine. This year with Rowan being born before christmas we didn't have any excuse not to put it up except for I really didn't have the energy and Spencer was working so it never happened. This is instead what we did for Christmas morning. My mom equated it to the charlie brown pathetic tree on Charlie Brown's Christmas. Basically it was a centerpeice someone brought us from the Relief Society dinner and it worked for what we needed.

Gavin still doesn't quite understand all of christmas this year but next year we aren't going to be able to get away with it.

Spencer and I had decided this year not to buy anything for each other except for one gift each and the rest was going to be for the boys because we were low on cash from him switching jobs this year. We were very blessed to have everything we needed this year and then some. This year was a Thomas Christmas and here's Gavin opening presents.

And here's after Daddy set up one of the sets for him and he was playing with it. We've since then set up the biggest set and it has an electric Thomas with a controller to it and it entertains him for hours.

We did Christmas eve dinner at Spencer's parents house and then did Christmas morning at home and then went to my parents for the day because my little sister was there for christmas this year and we had a lot of fun and good turkey/ham dinner that evening. We got tons of snow as you saw in the last post so we went and played outside. My dad being from Newfoundland originally apparently had lots of experience building snow forts and so he went out without being asked and made one for the boys (I think for himself) lol. It was so cool!

All in all we had a wonderful christmas with lots of family and friends close by, Amanda and Donovan (her boyfriend) came up from Utah and were here until Saturday so we had fun with them and my little sister Chelsea was also here from Utah so it was great. We hope you had a wonderful christmas and a fruitful new year.
