This year Christmas was such a whirl wind. As always trying to do so many things, but it was still a great time of the year.
On Thursday night we went to eat at Mandarin Garden as always, which was delicious as always, then we read some Christmas stories and opened the 12th day of Christmas Gift.
The next day we spent getting everything ready for that evening and going to Moab Christmas day. We opened presents at my moms house really early, which was so much fun cause Kira was really into ripping the paper this year. She would walk from person to person helping them open their gifts. She didn't really care what was in them just that she got to open them.
Kira helping Papa open his gifts. 
Now helping mom open hers. 
She is such a little stinker, smiling five seconds before but when we want to take picture not even a twinkle. 
Cassidy open her presents.
Sitting arround chatting.
The cousins playing games. 
Kira wanted to play too.
More Presents for Kira to open. Yeah
Kira and her new friend. 
Kira and mom!
This is what I woke up to Christmas Morning who could ask for a better gift.
We had dinner with the family down in Moab and we were finally able to see Kendal, my cousin's daughter who is adorable so tiny but she was such a little snuggler. I miss Kira at that age. Kira was fascinated with her, she also got a little jealous of mom holding another baby.
It was a very relaxing trip, we played games and watched movies and ate ofcourse. We got up Monday morning and headed home. It was an exciting but exhausting Christmas.
Thank you to everyone for their wonderful gifts for both Kira and I. Love you all.

Cassidy open her presents. We then drove down to Salt Lake to have Christmas at my Aunt Leslie's house. We got to spend time with the family talking and playing games. Kira decided that she had a new best friend in Hideo and would hardly leave him alone, poor boy his arms were starting to get really tired. We opened gifts (which Kira was more than Happy to help with) and then we came home.

Kira and her new friend. Kira and mom!The next morning Kira got to go to breakfast at her dad and other grandparents. She opened presents and played with her cousin Kade.
I think all the excitement of the last few days had gotten to her. So when I came to get her she was able to sleep for a good portion of the trip down to Moab.
