We had Christmas an Nana and Papa's house before we left town (I don't have a single decent picture of that night because I had a little man trying to steal the camera), then we left for Las Vegas on December 22. As soon as we got there we drove to St George, Utah for a baby shower for Annarose, Danny, and Evangeline Rose (we are SO excited to meet her!!). It was fun, but a little hurried. The best part of our first day in Utah was that the kids got to see Grandma Great. Lizzie has only met her once, and Owen has never met her, so this was a wonderful opportunity!
(Unfortunately Liz was asleep for the only photo opportunity...)
After Grandma left, the "Petershed" clan was left--to puking their guts out. Nice, I know, so that will be as much detail as I give. We didn't celebrate at all on Christmas Eve (which is a big deal for this family, because that is their BIG meal prodcution). Christmas day was considerably better though!
Everyone wanted to sleep in, and they were worried that the girls would get up really early and wake everyone to see what Santa brought. Ironically they were the last ones up, and we had to wake them because eveyone else was getting a little restless.
We attempted an organized event, then quickly gave in to the chaos and took a breath whenever we could. The paper was flying, everyone was talking and laughing, and I must have missed at least 60% of what was opened, but it was fun, and the kids were happy, and that is what it was all about! It is so much fun to be on this side of Christmas, watching the anticipation and joy on the faces of the little people that I adore so much!
Merry FIRST CHRISTMAS my little man! We love you so much!
