Christmas Numero Tres

So here's the last of the Christmas celebrations and this was the real one! We headed to Lyman on the Thursday before Christmas and celebrated all the way till the next Tuesday. We had a blast seeing family and friends, opening gifts, and eating (Ok that last one didn't include me but it will next year). On Saturday morning we had a big breakfast with friends and Katie Jo got to finally meet her fellow blogger Sam. They had a great time sitting in the grass and passing the ball back and forth. On Saturday nite I got to hang out with some good friends from high school. Sunday brought us to church and our family got to light the advent candle and read scripture. Christmas Eve nite we celebrated over at Mia's and had a great time feasting and opening gifts. Christmas morning we started out at Gran and Pops and Katie Jo got lots of fun things: musical books, outfits, toys, and a new doll to add to her collection. Next we scooted over to Mia's and opened even more gifts. Katie Jo got some more cute outfits, some Little People toys, and a musical bear that we have put away for safe keeping until next year! Christmas evening Mama and Papa Johnson came over and Katie Jo got some more books and musical instruments. She may be the first librarian to have a stage with live music in her library! We had a great time and Katie Jo enjoyed vising with all her family.
