Christmas Eve we spent at the Leishmans house, had a great dinner opened Christmas jammies and watched some up lifting Christmas movies. Claire was a wild one during the movie- Jodi go ther to stay calm for a few minutes by chatting about there nails.
We came home and got the cookies and carrots (for all the reindeer) out and ready for Santa to come find our house.
In the morning this was all that was left.... Santa LOVES chocolate chip scones!
Our Christmas tree and Santa's magic dust
Grandpa Brad and Mary Ann came over to watch Claire open her presents and we had some breakfast.

Here's Mary Ann (well at least her feet) she was awesome and set up Claire's castle tent
About 9:30 that morning we decided we would drive to California to surprise Jason's family for Christmas dinner. We threw our clothes in a suitcase and were off. We called Maria by the time we got to Barstow and had Claire ask her if we could come to dinner... of course she was in shock and it took her a few minutes to realize she wasn't lying . We showed up just as they were starting dinner- it couldn't have been more perfect and we got to see lots of family that we haven't seen in a long time. A poker game always breaks out at a family function.

Oh my goodness! How wonderful it must be to only be 3 1/2 hours away from CA! Sweeeet! Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas!
Santa's magic dust sounds fun! What is it...some glitter?
