Christmas Day Squared

On Christmas Sunday we all got up super early, put on our Sunday best, and headed over to Coral Desert to give the patients a fuzzy blanket and a calendar. It was such a fun thing to do and I hope to keep it a family tradition. The kids loved taking the gifts in and riding on the cart with all the gifts. One man was so overwhelmed and couldn't stop crying, many others loved seeing and chatting with the kids. I wish I had taken some photos. 

The next stop was church, it was so nice to attend on a holiday centered around our Savior. We just had sacrament which was filled with short talks and lots of music. The kids were restless, but we made it through. 
After we came home and packed up the car for a quick trip to Vegas. We hung out with all the Haycock's, ate lots of yummy food, played with cousins, opened more gifts, and had a great time. 
Monday morning we made a stop by the Mohler's to see what Santa had left for them. Ryker was excited to show off his toys and Alyson wanted everyone to snuggle her babies. The kids had pizza and rode wiggle cars all over the house. While Brady, my Dad, Kim, and Alex enjoyed a quiet lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. The kids were sad to leave, but we had so much fun and couldn't wait to see everyone just a few days later.
