Our Merry Christmas

Christmas morning we woke up 
BRIGHT and EARLY!
5:15am to be exact.


After getting ready, we opened presents at 6am
and then headed to Grandma's house for our Breakfast tradition.
We ate our Mickey Mouse Waffles, yes waffles....not pancakes.
Top that!
Then we had our sliced oranges and baked apples.
Add in some eggs and salsa with some bacon.
DEE-LISH!

Then we opened presents there and could feel all the love from our families.
We are so blessed to be so close to our families.
After presents we played some Mario Cart (Thank you Santa),
played Phase 10 (Allred tradition),
Watched some Despicable Me (Thanks again Santa),
And slept.
Then Nik and I headed off to Nanu and Grandpa's house.

After almost running out of gas, because we were just so excited for Christmas, we made it safely.
We hung around for a bit until the food was done cooking.
Had a delicious roast, mashed taters, corn, yummy salad, and rolls.
Can't forget about the Poppers that Nanu gets us each year for us to pop.
Inside our Poppers we each got a paper crown to wear for the day, a joke, and a fun toy.
(we love traditions!)
After dinner we cleaned up and opened our gifts there.
We love our family.
Everyone gets along and loves each other.
We are so blessed.
After presents we had some pie and Wassail and then rolled ourselves out the door.
SO.MUCH.FUN!

Here are the two pictures I have from the day and am waiting for the rest to arrive via email.

This was our 2009 ornament and tree.
LOL.
Our tiny Provo apartment did not have adequate room for a tree
And we were going to be in AZ and CA for the majority of the holiday
I just bought this 4inch tree candle to sit atop our t.v.
Oh, the memories!

 This is our 2010 ornament.
All the writing was chosen by Nik.
Gotta love his humor and ability to have fun.
This sat on my parent's tree because we didn't have one of our own again.

And here I am at 14weeks and 1day (Christmas day).
Depending on what I wear you can see it or you can't because I'm not that big.
But it's fun to see a little growth.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas like we did!
