December was such a busy month that I never had a chance to update my blog. Things are finally calming down so I am ready to get caught up. This year we tried something new. Instead of going to Temple Square to see the lights we went to Zoo Lights. It was pretty neat. The lights were in animal shapes and a lot of them looked like the animals were moving. We also got to see some of the animals that are usually asleep during the day. Gavin liked it. Addison was fine as long as she was being held--she did not want anything to do with the stroller. My mom lost her camera in the reptile house but luckily someone turned it in. Overall, we had a good time.
Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for dinner and the beginning of presents. We enjoyed wonderful food and spending time with family. When we got home Gavin put out our brownies and chocolate milk for Santa. It had to be chocolate because that is what Max and Ruby (a cartoon) put out for Santa.
Christmas morning Gavin waited patiently for everyone to come over so he could open presents. It took a while because of the huge snow storm we were having. He opened all of his and then helped everyone else open theirs too. Addison got her phone out of her sock and she was content to carry that around all morning. We had to keep helping her open her presents.
After presents we had breakfast and played with all the toys. Gavin sat and dug out his dinosaur bones for 3 days until he got them out. I think we might have to bury them in some more plaster so he can do it again!
We spent New Year's Eve at Carl's parents house. We took Mario Kart which pretty much entertained the boys all night. Gavin was wide awake until we put him in the car at about 12:30 to go home. Addison only made it until about 10:00. She was actually the only one that slept. All of the other little kids stayed awake.
We have been so blessed this past year. Thank you to all of our families and friends who have helped make so many good memories for our family and we look forward to all the good memories we will make this year.
