Christmas

The kids on Christmas Eve!

We had a wonderful Christmas at the Frye household yesterday! Cruz put out some milk and cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. When he was putting them out though, he had to take a bite of cookie and a swig of milk. It was pretty funny! By morning, Cruz had sort of forgot about Christmas so Shawn and Cruz went down to the basement to work out until Alegra and I were up. They came up to get us and we really talked Santa up. We headed down the stairs to see if Santa visited our house. On our way to the tree Cruz stopped in his playroom. Shawn and I were by the tree trying to cox Cruz in to see the presents but he said he just wanted to play in the play room (with all of his old toys). Once Cruz came into the family room and saw the presents though, he was pretty excited. He started unwrapping presents and then he just wanted to unwrap the presents quickly, he didn't care who they were for or really what was in them. Shawn and I kind of had to slow him down and make him look at his presents. Cruz got a very nice barn and barn animals, some build it bigger building set, clothes, books, a music cd, a movie, a mickey mouse shirt, a mickey mouse watch, and a mickey mouse pillowcase. We are really into Mickey Mouse right now, plus we are going to Disney World in a few weeks, so we are getting ready for the Mickey Mouse excitement. Alegra pretty much chilled and ate during the unwrapping madness. She got some clothes, an ornament, a Minnie Mouse blanket, and a cute doll.

Later in the day Cruz and Shawn went sledding up at Matt and Laynee's house up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Matt's family from Wisconsin was in town visiting, so Shawn had fun catching up with family friends and Cruz had a blast sledding down their road!

In the afternoon/evening we went to Grandma Raddon's house for some yummy food and family time! Russ, Ali, Georgia, Macy, Grant, Walt, and Rebecca were there plus Rich, Katie, Nick, and Clara were in town from Santa Monica. Cruz had a blast playing with his cousins, hot tubbing, and playing with some of their toys! Grandma Raddon put on a great meal and it was fun to hand out and catch up with the fam!
