We spent Christmas in Lompoc spending lots of time with family! The first few days we spent at Grandpa and Grandma Arnold's house. Uncle Nic, Aunt Tammy, Andrew, Aunt Miranda, Uncle Jordan, and Amelia were all there! We took turns cooking meals and sharing family traditions. The kids had a lot of fun letting Chinese lanterns go at the high school and the suspense of the mystery dinner! Aubrey's favorite was "Tammy's Twinkle Toes" (aka Pigs feet)! I think she was a little worried we were actually going to make her eat them!
On Christmas Eve Grandma and Grandpa Arnold cooked a traditional Arnold Christmas dinner with prime rib and popovers! After dinner we continued with some of our other family traditions: Reading/acting out the Nativity story, opening new pajamas, opening ornaments, and Grandpa reading Twas' the Night Before Christmas.
The kids were all excited to open their new pajamas from Mom and Dad and to see the ornaments from Grandpa and Grandma Arnold.
Carson's was a star with his picture from his baptism on it.
Aubrey's was a Hello Kitty!
Madelyn's was a fish!
Christmas morning we woke up and attended church before coming home and opening presents! The kids were so excited to see what Santa brought them! Santa was very generous and brought the kids what they had asked for. Madelyn- an IPOD touch, a case, and brown boots. Carson- a BYU jersey, Nintendo 3DS, and Legos Hogwarts express. Aubrey- a doll, scooter, and boots.
Later that afternoon we went to Uncle Jared and Aunt Annette's so the kids could play and we could give Papa and Grandma McCune their present from us.
