Christmas Eve, day and day after!!

Christmas was amazing this year as it always is. We spent so much time together doing such fun things! And we are so grateful for our wonderful friends and amazing families! We love the holidays! Here is a quick snapshot of what we did: (Sorry for the long posts, it is mostly for journal purposes..I just don't want to forget all the fun things we've done)

*Christmas Eve
Was spent with the Davis doing the traditional movie (we saw Avatar in 3D), pizza then sibling gift exchange!! Alex and I got some great gifts...Skookie pans for pazookis (I love cookies)-thanks Kristine! And a gift card to Buckle (my favorite store!)-Thanks Lindsey! After the Gift exchange we did the traditional toast with eggnog! At Avatar! (Grandpa Jan is taking the picture)*Christmas Day
Christmas Day was spent mostly with my family! But before we went over there we did our own Christmas, and it was great! I got Alex games for the wii, a cute new coat and lots of clothes. And he got me a lot of clothes (that I picked out ha), some movies and cute jewelry. We also finished our bedroom, so it is now complete and I love it! And I got more frames for our walls! I loved it all and am so happy how it turned out!
After our gifts we went to my parents. My mom made the most amazing dinner, basically Thanksgiving all over again! Then all of the family came over...we ate and then everyone opened all of their gifts! It was so fun!! My mom goes all out every year and spoils us all, love her! She got us clippers (now I can cut his hair, yay), gift cards, cute organizing baskets and lots of home decor!! I loved it all-thanks Mom!
Later on that night we drove back to Pleasant Grove. We opened more presents there and got some great camping stuff, tools for Alex and more gift cards!! Thanks- Shonagh and Jan! We were very tired after such a fun long day that we went to bed because the next morning we were going bowling with the Davis!
*Christmas Day at my parents-sporting some of our new clothes! *The day after Christmas= Davis Family Bowling Tournament!
Last but not least is the bowling tournament! Everybody bowls, and its girls vs. girls and boys vs. boys. The winner of the boys gets the privilege to have the "Davis Family Champion" shirt and the winner of the girls gets the family trophy until next year. It is such a fun tradition and we love it!

Here we are comparing my baby bump with a bowling ball haha, Alex is a great sport! Some of the Davis just hangin out

Love him!!Lindsey brought her cute boyfriend Josh- he leaves on his mission soon so we are glad he was able to come!
*AND THE WINNERS ARE......

For the girls......ME! I won! Haha no one saw that coming but I think I just got lucky!

For the boys.....Andrew! We had so much fun and really love our families so much! I hope all of you had a great Christmas too!
*Cute
The night before Christmas Eve, I bought Alex some of his favorite candies (gummy bears and twizzlers) thinking that would be a cute little surprise. Funny thing is he was thinking the same thing and that same night brought me home french fries from this way good place (it's what I have been craving during my whole pregnancy) and I was so excited about it. Ha I know it's really nerdy but I thought it was cute we were thinking the same thing. I love him so much! Our Christmas was really everyday of December because of the time we were able to spend together with out school, it was so nice and we are both so grateful for the time we had to share with friends and family!
