A Great Weekend!!!

What a great weekend for our family!! We woke up Friday morning and had to get the kids up to open up our presents. Sam even complained that he was still so tired (and this was at 9am). After watching the kids open their gifts (Sam got Jeans, A new Black Titanium Watch, i-tunes gift card, and a Music maker, David got two new games and a Nerf gun and Sara got a Polly Pockets Cruise Ship, New clothes, Head Bands, A Fashion kit and a new cell phone) and Ryan open his (I surprised him with three books) we decided that we were going to go see a movie. I did not get anything for Christmas this year but that is what I asked for. I got the opportunity to watch my family have the Christmas that they deserve and that was the only Christmas Gift I needed. We wanted to go see Sherlock Holmes but it was completely sold out (on Christmas Day) so we went and saw Alvin and The Chipmunks, the Sweakwal. That was the cutest movie. The kids loved it and I was greatly surprised. We then went home and just spent time together. Then on Saturday we went to lunch and then took the kids to spend some of the Christmas Money that they received. Sam got two jackets, David got 4 games and Sara got Jewelry. Then we went and saw Sherlock Holmes. What a wonderful adaption of those characters. It was so different then what I am used to but it was really well done!! Then we went home and played the new Indiana Jones 2 game together until we went to bed.
I love just spending time together. Even though we are so far away from most of our beloved family, it was the best thing for us to move to Utah. We miss our family so much but are closer as a family for it.
