We had a very special Christmas Eve and Christmas this year! It was our first Christmas with it being just the 3 of us but it was so fun and memorable!
It is a Assmus tradition to make Carne Asada tacos for Christmas eve. We made them for lunch because a sweet family in our ward invited us over for dinner and games! It was so fun and delicious!
After our dinner and games at the McArthur's, we came home to get Aubrey ready for Bed. We read the Polar Express, the bible verses of the Savior's Birth, and then set out the cookies and carrots for Santa to come!
We all got in our Jammies, took some pictures, and were ready for bed!
Aubrey was being so cute! I knew she knew something was different, but she had no idea what was about to happen the next morning. She didn't even know that something was in the wrapped presents.
We set out the BIG presents and Aubrey was so excited that they were about as big as she was.
After Aubrey went to bed, Santa came and got to work! We loved being santa this year, and were so excited to see Aubrey's reaction!
Aubrey was very excited, but was also pretty overwhelmed!
She got a lot of "LET IT GO!" things! She loved it all saying, "LET IT GO, LET IT GO!"
Brad got a few surprises in his stocking as well!
We scored an awesome tent from Mom and Dad Duffy!
Aubrey was in Heaven with her Kitchen that she didn't want to open presents! We let her play for a while! The whole opening gifts process took about 4 hours! It was a blast to let it be drawn out!
One of Aubrey's favorites were these little Elsa and Anna clip on dress dolls. She kept putting them in the oven!
As Aubrey played we watched the fireplace go and cuddled on the couch!
Then opened a few more gifts! Brad got this sweet Sherpa hoodie from Jeremy and Kensie!
Brad surprised me with some fun lenses for my iPhone camera! This was the fish eye lense!
I love this husband of mine!
I also made delicious sticky buns! My mom's recipe! They were so delicious!!
Mom and Dad Assmus got Brad a little drone! He was so excited that he went straight outside to try it out!
Christmas was a wonderful day!! As you can tell from this living room pic, we made out pretty well! Aubrey was in heaven!
Christmas is so much more fun with kids! We had a wonderful time with it being just the 3 of us! We are so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ! Through him all is possible and I am so grateful for his perfect example! We are Thankful for our families and ward family as well! We are so blessed!
