Christmas Eve, Part 1

Christmas Eve was a fun one. Trips back to Utah are always a love/hate relationship. Especially with our parents being a mile apart from each other. I LOVE going back and seeing all of our family and friends. I HATE splitting things up. It's never really fair, I want to be at two places at once and I can't make myself happy because I am always missing being at the other place. That being said, we tried to make the best of it and enjoy every moment of our 21 day adventure. 


This year was a "In-Law" Christmas with my side of the family. Which means a two of my siblings go to Idaho, one goes to Salt Lake and the other still stays at my parents. While it is an in law Christmas we still try to do things at both places, just try and hit the main events. 


My family celebrated Christmas Eve a few days early before family members left. We had a great dinner at my parents house and spent time with the family. Akoy had a blast with his cousins running around the house. My parents handed out the presents for all the grandkids. Everyone mostly got the same thing. Bryson helped wrap them before and somehow we ended up being short one. Their local Costco's were out and after a quick internet search Bryson learned that Lowe's Hardware had them. Being the selfish person I am, I made Bryson grab a couple extra for Akoy later one. :) It was fun to see all the kids open the presents. I love the happiness that it brings them and the light in their eyes.
