Merry Christmas 2009

What a GREAT Christmas! Snow.....yummy food.....family.....presents.....there is nothing better.

Kade was able to visit with Santa 3 times this year. Once at the Town Christmas party, next at the ward Christmas party, and finally at Preschool. Here he is letting Santa know that he wants LOTS OF TOYS.

Christmas Eve was a really busy day. We started at 11:00am at my Grandma Reid's house where we visited with everyone and had sloppy joe's (some went without buns....and if you were lucky, you got a plate to eat it on....and if you were REALLY fortunate you received a cup to have a swig of sprite in).
At 2:00 the Hansen family met at Salt Lake Knoll for some tubing action. He had so much fun sledding and drinking hot chocolate with each other. Of course my goofy cousins almost got themselves killed on their gigantic tube, but it's not a Hansen party without some craziness!

We then moved the party to the fire station where we played games, ate chilly and opened presents. Grandma and Grandpa Hansen gave Tyce and Kade some slippers and which they loved. We always have a blast with the Hansen's!

Playing some games

On our way back to CD, Jamie's family hit a cow. Luckily everyone was okay.......can't say that about the van (or the cow)! They had to borrow my mom's truck to get back to Central so that Santa could come.

Finally us Larsen's ended up at Kyle's mom and dad's just in time for the grandkids to open their Christmas pj's. At about 10:00pm, we got home to get the boys to bed so that Santa could work his magic. And this is what he brought Christmas morning:

The boys were so excited. They loaded up this year! A few favorites were the Train table, the Bat Cave, and the new Cool School Computer. Grandma Jo came by at about 8:30 t0 see what the boys got and then at about 10:00am Grandma Laurie and Grandpa came for breakfast. We ended up just spending the rest of the day playing with all of our Toys. Kyle gave me a Cricut Expressions (wahoo!!!) and some perfume and I gave Kyle a chainsaw and a new belt.

The day after Christmas we went back to Ferron for the Larsen's party. Dinner wasn't quite ready, so Kyle took the kids for a ride in the snow behind the 4-wheeler.

After having dinner we opened presents.

Now Christmas is officially over. The tree is now down, the decorations are all put away and the toys are in the toy room...... Now we can rest! Oh wait.....never mind! We are heading up North tomorrow for a fun filled day of Jumping Jacks and shopping! Yeah!
