Santa Came Early....

So we weren't sure what to do..... do we bring the kids presents to Utah to open there and then have to bring them back or do we say "santa came early" and open before we go? Yep we chose the second idea. It was so much fun. The night before we left (the 17th) we had Tanner put out a cookie and some milk for Santa and write him a note. Tanner told me what to say. The next morning he came running in our room and said "Santa came! Come on hurry and look at all the presents. He was SO excited.



The main thing Tanner asked Santa over and over for was a Hippopotamus game. He was so happy!


Joce's 1st Christmas. So cute! She loved the paper more than anything else.



Tanner sat in the middle of his and Joce's presents. He opened his and then helped Joce with hers.



What a fun day! 2 hours after we opened, we packed up the car and headed to the airport to fly to Utah for 2 weeks. It was SO cute because on the way there Tanner out of no where said "Hey, we have to say a prayer so we can get to the airplane port and to grandma's safe". I looked at Nate and was speechless. We usually say a prayer before we leave for a trip and we forgot yet Tanner reminded us. What an example. Thanks T-Man :)
