Christmas with the Udy Side

My parents surprised my grandparents and showed up at their house (in St. George) on Christmas Eve's Eve.  They were completely empty nesters this holiday season seeing how all their kids were spending Christmas with their spouses' families.  We knew my parents were coming to our place in Ogden after we got home from St. George, but they surprised us early.  I wanted to spend all my time with them although it was Ammon's family's Christmas.  It was a good thing they took off to Vegas the next day to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with my uncle's family, it definitely took the sting out of not spending Christmas with them.  After they were done in Vegas and we were done in St. George, they caravanned back to Ogden with us.  Brett was also in Ogden spending Christmas with Rachel's family. We did arrange to spend one day with each other and celebrate Christmas Udy-style.  Thanks Mom and Dad, we are grateful!


Here are the girls ready to open presents.


And the boys.


Man I love that these two are best friends.  Here they are in their cougar shirts from Grandma and Grandpa.  


An action shot of Addy unwrapping.


Lance even joined Christmas via video chat.  He was on there a whole 2 hours.  


The boys opening their tool sets.


This is what we call a Grandpa Sandwich.


Addy enjoying her new doll's binky.


Giving it back to her doll.


The girls with their very first Cabbage patch doll and the boys with their first Hot Wheels track.


One of Addy's favorite gifts was her dog that barks and jumps.  She totes him (thats the determined gender of the dog regardless of the pink bows) around quite frequently.


I decided that the Hot Wheels track is a Dad toy, meaning it is a toy Kent can only get out and set up when Dad is home.
