We drove to CA on Sunday the 23rd. We left at 4 a.m. and we made amazing time! Gregor got us there in only 9 hours. The kids slept most of the way and we brought bagels and cream cheese so we didn't need to stop for food. We only stopped for gas and a couple of bathroom breaks.
We got to my Mom's new house and we were exhausted! We just hung and rested for a while because my Grandpa and Jenna were planning to come over that evening for dinner and a Christmas program.
It was so fun when they got there. We ordered pizza, and Kenny and Lisa came and brought vegan pizza. Then Brooke made chow mein the way she learned how in China and Ryan made shrimp fresh rolls with peanut sauce. Kenny brought a buttermilk crumb cake that a neighbor gave him for putting out a fire in their house. We ate so much! All we had eaten all day was bagels so we were starving and we wanted to try everything. The kids were so excited to see cousins and Gp. and Jenna and Aunt Brookie and Uncle Kasen.
We opened presents and then Saxon gave them the CD that the boys made in the recording studio and we played it for them. Jenna and Brookie told a story about a little star that became the star over the manger in Bethlehem. When my mom got home from work, she had all of the kids open the new jammies that she got them.
It was such a fun night and such a great start to our Christmas trip!
Dalton loved his Santa jammies so much that he wouldn't go to bed at night unless he was wearing them. I had to wash them quickly during the day to make sure that they were ready again for the night :)
