Christmas morning was fabulous, and we were all spoiled as usual! Kensie wanted a Barbie house and Santa did not disappoint. We were all relieved that Lincoln didn't even mention the fact that Santa forgot to bring his mini Cadillac Escalade {taking your kids to Costco during the holiday season only leads to trouble}. He's been talking about the thing non-stop, and if we even suggested that he might ask Santa for something else he'd say "No. I want the car for boys and girls to ride on the grass". Luckily, on Christmas morning he was satisfied with his Batman race track. Whew!!
I mentioned us being spoiled. Here's why:
More spoiling was done by my family later that morning {after we dug ourselves out of a few feet of snow and made it to their house- which was no easy feat}. Among my favorite gifts were things from my Grandma & Grandpa Eddington's house. You can't put a price on these things, but they mean so much to me. My Grandma's sewing basket, my stocking that Grandpa would hang at his house {with one of his paint brushes inside}, and a pictograph with awesome photos from 1904 including some from Nauvoo, Carthage, Rome, and even Joseph F. Smith were some of my favorites.
Kensie entertained us with some Christmas songs on the piano, we had a yummy lunch, played with cousins and enjoyed being together.
What a great day!!
