Christmas was a tad drawn out this year due to my boys being scheduled to work on Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day.
So, Wednesday the 21st, I sent them on a Snapchat scavenger hunt:
They had to go carol to my mom and send me a Snap of them kissing her on the cheeks:
I sent them to Ichiban for sushi:
And they had to keep sending me Snaps through the night - here they are with sushi chef:
And at the Tree Of Life - and they really didn't like that - they felt like they were on a date!
Then to get hot chocolate at 7-11 where the clerk did not want to participate and was rude to them:
Other stops:
I sent them to the Christmas Barf House (a local home that is covered in Christmas lights.)
They had to come home and deliver the 12 days for me!
Then they went to Costco to find James where they found a Wendy's gift card to go get food - but they were too full and just wanted to come home!
At home they had to search through the house for their gifts and they got.....
A season pass to Snowbird!
The next day they went boarding!
Then on the 23rd the Wrights arrived and our official Christmas celebrations could start!
This was how Harpy greeted me:
Alex heading over to get Kayla and exchange gifts:
Sugar Cookie Decorating - we were missing Austin and Rylee:
But finally EVERYONE WAS HOME for our annual.....
I think we need to get a bigger couch?
Uncle Austin playing with Harper during the movie:
Kayla and Alex
(Alex slept through the majority of the movie with his head in Kayla's lap):
The Wrights trying to keep Harper entertained through the movie:
Grandpa James feeding Harper Chinese Food:
Then, because this was the only night I had everyone together they opened Christmas PJ's (sweats).
The girls cuddling with the dogs:
That night we had a FULL house! (Both Spencer and Kayla slept over - I had a floor of guys and a floor of girls and the Wrights in the guest room.)
Because most all of them came to my Christmas Eve Morning Yoga Class!
(James had to work, Austin and Cameron didn't come.)
And then that night Austin left for work and James got home from work and we had my family over for out traditional Christmas Eve Party!
I did a terrible job taking pictures - except for Harper - but here's my dad with the dogs:
Opening Gifts From Cousins:
Austin came home late and opened his cousin gift:
Then late Christmas Eve - after my family left and Austin got home - the boys opened their gifts:
And we did a scavenger hunt through the house for EVERYONE (Harper woke up and then promptly fell back to sleep on my shoulder. I sure love this baby!)
Rylee got these boots that light up when you use a flash:
Alex got a ukulele
Devree got a bluetooth speaker
Austin a drone
Kambree a kindle
And Cameron an ice fishing tent
So even LATER than that - Santa came for everyone else!
The next morning we went to church
And then came home and I made everyone pose for our traditional "stair" picture:
Then we opened MORE presents:
Devree's present had a slight mishap? One of the dogs peed on it
Then the Wrights left to visit Cameron's family and sent me this Snap of Harper:
Then it was time to send the girls on their Snapchat Scavenger Hunt (which was not as extensive as the boys since it was actually Sunday and Christmas)!
Dev got bluetooth Bose headphones and a mini fridge:
Rylee a camera:
Spencer came over and he and James crashed:
Austin at work:
We went over to my moms for a lovely dinner. Alex called that it was slow and he was getting off early. I told James "Watch, he won't last a 1/2 hour before he asks to go to Kayla's." He lasted 20 minutes and was gone! Devree and Spencer had already left for his parents so it was just James, Rylee and me hanging out with my parents.
Austin that night at the Chow Time Christmas Party:
