Well Christmas has come and gone and the 4th of July is just around the corner but better late than never. For Christmas we were unsure of what we were going to do since Rhett's dad was here in the valley having surgery 2 weeks before Christmas. Last minute we decided to drive to Eagar on Christmas Ever. We got to my parents house around 11:00 p.m. or so. We told my family that we were going to drive up Christmas day but decided to surprise them and come a day early. We let my mom in on the surprise but told nobody else. My dad and Sydney were already asleep by time we got there but we were so excited to be there that we woke them up. My dad was nice enough to re-read "The Night Before Christmas" story to the kids even though it was late. It is one of our favorite things about Christmas w/ my parents (especially because of the funny words he ads in to entertain the adults listening). Despite how late we got to bed that night the kids were still up bright and early to open presents. It was a great Christmas! We love being in Eagar for Christmas and love being with family even more. Every year it seems someone will suggest staying home for Christmas but I just can't do it. It just doesn't feel like Christmas here.
