After I took the girls to visit Olivia and Evie. We played for an hour and then we came home and packed up. We headed to the Zoo. It was a beautiful day - gorgeous weather and hardly anyone was there so we got a killer parking spot. We lasted an hour and then we went to on a drive to have the girls take a nap.
We ended up on 16th street mall. Sydney and I walked and tried on some parkas while London slept. We lasted an hour and then we went home.
We got home and watched a show, then we got ready for our party.
We has several people from Refactor U come, Chris and Anna and the Ashby's.
We had lots of yummy food - sandwhiches, hot wings, veggies, cookies, cakes ... it was so much! But so good. We played minute to win it games and then we watched "Prep and Landing".
It was a great time. The kids played well, and they loved the Minute To Win It games too.
Everyone left at 830 and we took 20 minutes to clean up. Then we started to put the kids to bed. We were SO tired that we ended up in bed at 930 am with the girls. We set the alarm for 1 am but it never went off -so at 3:30 am I woke up and got Tyson up to get everything set up.
We fell back sleep at 5 am and slept until 8 am. The girls finally got up and came to cuddle with us in bed. Then we went upstairs and the girls were SO excited to see all their presents.
We opened up our stockings and quickly got ready for church. The service was AMAZING! We had a whole choir program and it was so good. We left an hour after and made it home just before the wind picked up. The wind was CRAZY - some places 70 - 80 mile per hour gust and you could feel it. Thank goodness for warm, safe home.
We opened up the rest of the presents and watched movies. At 3:30 we started to get the food ready - Instant Pot Mashed potatoes, my best ribs, salad and appetizers. We had 3 elders come and honestly it was one of the best missionaries dinners ever. The message was so wonderful and then we gathered around and said a prayer on our knees. It was really really great.
The left at 5:30 and we cleaned up. Then we watched the Football game. It was a chill Christmas - but it was filled with good people, good food and love.
The next day I took the girls to the mall so Tyson could work and then we came home. We took a long walk to Khols and then came back and watched Storks.
