Our Christmas!

     This Christmas was lots of fun! Michael is at that age where he was realizing that the presents was more than just the paper wrapped in the gift. He also enjoyed helping others unwrap their presents also. It was also fun because it was Jesse's first Christmas.  He liked grabbing at paper the most; he really likes to grab at anything that is in arms reach.  
     Christmas morning I walked down the stairs with Michael and I think he was surprised, for he didn't say much, to see all the presents under the tree with his trains going around the tree on the tracks. After unwrapping presents we had breakfast at our home with Chris' family, had to keep the tradition of chocolate gravy with biscuits on Christmas morning.  Then later that day we went to Chris' parents house for dinner.  When we got back home we decided to hurry and pack to surprise my family that night. We drove to Utah, got there around 9:30 p.m. and Michael was so excited to see everyone, he was asking for about a week to see his Oma and Opa.  We had lots of fun down there and my sister let us know that she is expecting another little one! We're so excited for her! 
     

While we were down there, besides spending time with my family, we went to The Aquarium in Sandy.  Michael had a blast there seeing all the different kinds of animals that live in the water.  He saw "Nemo" and "Dory" and sharks.  When we were waiting for the sharks to come by the window of the shark tank, one swam (belly toward us) across the tank eye level to Michael.  It scarred him so bad he was pushing himself back towards me and he was saying "I scared the shark."
