I love Christmas.  I love how excited my kids get, the magic of the season, baking, being with family and friends, snow, and all that entails the season.  We told Santa we were going to be in Utah this year for Christmas and for him to come to Grandma and Grandpa Rowley's house, but I think Addy was a little nervous he would not be there.  She and Boston are at such fun ages for Christmas.  We spent Christmas Eve with the Rowley's.  We were able to see Santa on Christmas Eve and Aunt Vana and Uncle Mikes house, which I think Addy was relieved she could tell him she would be at Grandma's.  Boston was pretty scared of Santa, but not like cousin Ty.  He was really scared of Santa, and would not sit on his lap.  In his defense, Santa is a little scary.  Christmas Eve we opened PJ's and drove around to see Christmas lights.  When we woke up the next morning, Santa had come to visit and dumped a ton of toys at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  It brought back so many memories having Christmas at my parents house.  The kids slept downstairs like usual, we had to close the kids' eyes like we used to, and of course we had to wait for G & G to wake up like we always did.  Nick and Bridget and Brennan were able to spend Christmas morning with us also, which made it extra fun and special.  We spent that night and Grandma and Grandpa Youngs with all of Travs siblings which was fun.  New Years Eve we went and ate with my siblings and wives, and then spent the rest of the night at G & G Rowleys.  New Years Day we spent at the Youngs and lit fireworks that night.  We had a great holiday season, and hope you and yours had a great holiday season also.
