On Tuesday night we arrived in Carmel where we spent Christmas, after we got to the house and unloaded all of our many bags, we all loaded back into the cars and drove to a tree lot to pick out our tree that would be the twinkle in our eye for the holiday season. It was fun and we were the only people there. We found a cute little guy and put him in the back of the car and drove home. The next morning Christmas Eve we woke up and the first thing we did was decorate our cute little tree. Then we went down to the beach to fly some kites and to fly Josh's airplane, then we went and played a game of Ultimate Frisbee it was a lot of fun. Then we went home to shower and get ready for a yummy dinner of ham and turkey. After we stuffed are belly's full of yummy food we rolled ourselves over the the living room for a great Nativity Scene. Sadie was Mary, Sam was Joseph, Cody was Shepard, Kim was the angel, Josh was the donkey, I was the star and Danielle was the Narrator. It turned out really cute everyone did a great job on their parts. After we did our Nativity Scene we opened up our pj's and it was so funny we had Sammy go first because he is the youngest and then we worked our way up by age. Well Sammy was first and he was so excited for his present but once he opened it up and saw what he got he started to cry and said he didn't want pj's. Well because he was sad Cody let Sammy help him open his present and he was once again so excited to be opening a present but once he saw what was in side he started to cry again. It was so funny we were laughing so hard and he was just so mad that everyone was getting pj's. Once we opened our presents we set out some milk and cookies for Santa and headed to bed so we could get up early to see what Santa brought us.
