Christmas 2020

Jameson woke up at 6:30 Christmas morning but had to wait for everyone else because the rule is that you have to wait for everyone else to wake up on their own. We also added on that it needed to be light outside. Thankfully the younger kids slept til 8:00. It is so nice starting out the morning at a normal time.

We went around taking turns opening gifts. It was so fun to be there with my parents and aunt Betsy! This was our first year spending Christmas at my parent's house. It was very relaxing.

Everyone wanted Legos from Santa and he delivered. Marshall set up some tables so they could all build their sets and watch movies together in the same room.

 

We took a break that afternoon and visited Grandpa and Grandma Lowry on their porch. I should have taken a picture. After that we went to the flag pole so Marshall could show our kids how much fun it is to swing around. It was too cold so I stayed in the car.

We had our traditional smorgasbord later that afternoon. Then we watched movies and played Dr. Mario.

Chewie was happy and exhausted every night when we put him in his crate. He did really well there and remembered his potty training. He learned how to go down the stairs while we were there so that was an exciting milestone!

Taggart got this fun hammock thing from my parents for Christmas. Marshall installed it after getting back home.

Lynnlee got this rainbow thing and Marshall put hers up too and made both of their days.

We got to go to church in person with my parents on the 27th. It was very nice and my kids were all reverent which is worth noting. 

We went back home Sunday night. Monday through Wednesday of holiday break was spent playing games, watching movies, and playing roller hockey.
