Christmas

We left Logan on the 22nd and spent the night at Ryan's parent's home in Springville.  We had a delicious prime rib for dinner and exchanged gifts.  His parents got us sleeping bags that can zipped together which I thought was cool. The next morning we headed down to my home in St. George.  On Christmas Eve we had dinner at my grandma's home.

Usually on Christmas morning at my home we have to wait until 9:00 to open presents.  However, we can open our stocking whenever we like.  This was news to Ryan who is usually the person that wakes everyone else up early to open presents.  So not only was this his first Christmas waiting to open gifts but, it was his first Christmas without snow.  He survived but he definitely prefers to wake up at the crack of dawn and not waste any of Christmas sleeping! While we opened presents we always have homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.  Ryan got golf clubs, a blu ray player, and some clothes.  I got a new desk and office chair, clothes, shoes, and stuff to fix my piano bench so that my books don't fall out the bottom.  Obviously Ryan couldn't bring my new desk and chair to St. George so he borrowed a Polly Pocket toy from his house that had a girl sitting in a chair at a desk.  Everyone got a laugh out of that.  Later that day some extended family came over and we had a buffet and watch basketball.  After everyone was sufficiently full was played this present game.  Everyone sat in a circles and one at a time someone rolled the dice.  If they got doubles they would put on a scarf, hat, and gloves and begin unwrapping the present.  If someone else got doubles they would take the clothing from the other person and start unwrapping.  The person that unwrapped the prize money won.  If was really fun and everyone got into it.  Christmas was great!
