Quick Christmas

Christmas was great! We all got spoiled. On Christmas morning Jared and I had to wake the boys up. Carter told me to "go away..I'm still sweepin!" I told him it was Christmas to which he replied "It's not Christmas til Santa comes". I asked if he thought Santa had come and he emphatically said "NO!" Finally Pason came in and told him there were presents and Carter jumped right up. The day after Christmas we went to Idaho to see my family. When we left it was a blizzard outside and the Monida pass was closed. We left with the hope that by the time we got there it would be open. As we got closer and closer it was still closed so after lunch in Whitehall we said a prayer that the pass would open. A few minutes later Pason said "I'm going to say another prayer just to remind Heavenly Father." Just before we got to Dillon the pass opened. What a great experience for Pason to see that prayers are answered! In Idaho we took the boys sledding for the first time. Carter wasn't sure about the cold, but Pason loved it! Now we have to find a good sledding hill here at home. Since we have been home we have been trying to get the house cleaned and get ready for Pason's birthday party on Saturday.

Watch out they got wheels!

Sounds like a fun Christmas! What kid doesn't wake thier parents up first. Crazy. We didn't leave Friday because the pass was closed. I guess we should have had more faith and prayed. Great example Payson. I think it was a good excuse to stay home one more day and really get a break from the holidays.
p.s. Happy Birthday Payson:)
