Our Christmas season

Through out December we have had a great time. We were in
St George the first weekend in December and got to see 'fall day'.
Fall Day is the day that all the leaves just fall of the trees, and you get
to make huge piles of leaves. My dad got the leaves all in a pile
and we sent Drake out to play. He had more fun trying to make
the pile bigger than actually jumping in it.

When we got home Drake helped me decorate the tree.
I think he was more excited about playing with the Scooby
Doo ornament, Rudolf ornament, or the glass bulbs
but we had fun.

We also got to go to Dans sisters and have a gingerbread house
building contest. It was so interesting to see how each pair
decorated with their house. It was a good time
and great company.

Well Christmas day is over and it was a great one! Drake loved
every present he opened. He loved them so much we really had
to coax him to open the next present. Once we were done
opening presents and we were getting his toys out of the packaging
he was jumping up and down yelling, Yea! Yea! Yea! You know growing
up Christmas was fun but being able to watch Drake enjoy it was
so much more fun. He spent the rest of the day spending
5 min with each toy before moving on to the next and
then back again. We can't wait until next year when
we get to have two boys to enjoy Christmas.
