Christmas Eve & Christmas

December 24

We got to Deweyville ahead of the storm. We hung out with his family for awhile, did some Christmas shopping in Logan (super fun!), had some dinner and watched White Christmas with some Rootbeer floats before getting ready for bed. Nate and I decided to watch Brave in our bed since we had never seen it before. Around 11:30, we heard a knock on the door and we were told to come out and say hi. Jake and Kim had made it safely here from Utah County. I got to say it kind of hurts to go from a pitch dark (except for the movie) to a well-lit room really quickly. We said hello and chatted for awhile before I had to turn in, my body was shutting down.

CHRISTMAS IS HERE!
We awoke the following morning kinda early to open gifts with the fam before part of them had to get on the road to head toward Cali.

I was surprised to find that Warburtons have their assigned places for Christmas morning and it stays that way throughout the years. I thought it was interesting. :) Gifts had already been sorted in those places when we walked into the room. Each of us took turns in rotation opening a gift from our stash. We got a Willowtree nativity scene from his mom (so excited to set them up next year!) and Nate gave Jake a football and red dot sight for a shotgun--he was pretty happy about it. Ash gave us some shirts and scarves from New York. It was a good morning, topped off with Barbara's breakfast casserole.
We hung around for a couple hours after Jake, Kim and Sara left. Then Brittney and Seth showed up and the rest of us headed down to Emily's to open other gifts and dinner.

I did my hair all fancy!

It was real fun to watch the kids open up their presents from Grandma and Grandpa.

Later that evening, we watched White Christmas with his parents and sister at their house. It's fun watching the classics.

We woke the following morning and saw our car lathered in snow.

Nate had to work in Logan for a little bit. In the meantime, the girls all got ready and left for Brigham City to watch Les Miserables while the men watched the kiddos. For a movie, it was pretty good. I still like the play a lot more, but it was a good production. On the way back to Larry and Barbara's we stopped at Walmart. Nate packed up the car and we left for Vernal soon after to beat the weather. It was a long drive back.
