Christmas Day 2011
We decide to spend Christmas in Utah this year. I wanted to spend it with my mom since she is battling cancer right now. Andrew, Emilee, and Morgan woke us up at 6:00 in the morning . That seemed to early. I guess they were just a little excited. Corbin was not ready to wake up. Christmas morning was spent with my Mom, Dad, and Janiece. It was great to just have that time with mom. The best present I received was being with my mom on Christmas morning. Spending time with family is important to me. We got done unwrapping presents and had some time to spare until church. I enjoyed going to church and hearing about the real meaning of Christmas and that was Christ’s birth. We then spend the afternoon either sleeping or playing games until it was time to prepare Christmas Dinner. Magaly, Steven, and their kids came around six o’clock. So did Bryan, Ange, Arissa and Rees. Kristine, Jimmy and the kids came as well. Joe made a delicious ham for Christmas Dinner. It was nice to have the family together and spend Christmas evening. aunt Niece spoiled the kids as always. Janiece gave us a waffle maker and a WII game of smurfs. My mom and Dad gave each of the grandkids a candygram. I was glad overall that we chose to go to Utah for Christmas this year.

Christmas Eve 2011
We went to Logan and spent Christmas Eve with Joe’s family. Corbin, Emilee, Morgan, and Andrew enjoyed playing with Spencer and Kaylissa. Oma had the girls come and help make some yummy goodies. It was a good Christmas eve. As a tradition, we opened up our Chirstmas Eve gifts. everyone got pajamas. Corbin was happy to get Tow mater pajamas that he needed to put them on right away. We also opened the gifts from Oma, Chris, Pam, Kevin, Spencer, and Kaylissa. Corbin got a football that made him excited. Andrew got a remote control car and a tetris game. Morgan got some jewelry and purses. Emilee got two ZHU-ZHU Pet Dogs. I got an apron and a shirt. Joe got a nice shirt and a train sign. We had a good Christmas Eve. The best part was too know that we were celebrating Christ birth.

I love to see the temple
I always enjoy going to walk at the temple. It was great Family Home Evening on December 19 when we went and looked at the Temple grounds all decked out for Christmas.

Little Elf
Corbin loved wearing the different christmas hats. I think the elf hat was one of his favorites. Not only did he have to wear a hat, he needed someone else as well.

Christmas in Disneyland
So On December 1st we decide to go have a fun day at Disneyland. We checked the kids out of school and headed to Disneyland. I was looking forward to seeing Disneyland all decorated for the holidays. We got there around 10 0′clock. One of the things we did was watched the parade. It was a Christmas Parade. The first ride we went on was Pirates of the Caribbean. We then went on Haunted Mansion which was decorated with the Nightmare Before Christmas. We then went into Fantasyland and went on the rides there. we of course went on the carousel a few times. Corbin enjoyed watching the parade. He was excited when he saw Santa at the end of the parade. We left the park around 9.
