An early Christmas in St. George

Since Grandma and Grandpa won't be here for Christmas this year, we decided to celebrate early while we were all in St. George (excepts for the Fords who are in St. Louis - we miss you!).
We decorated the tree.
We ate a big breakfast of French toast, bacon and juice.
We were so excited - Gavin especially!  He thought this was the best idea and couldn't believe we got to be in St. George over Labor Day and celebrate Christmas!
And we opened stockings and presents!  What fun!
It was a really fun 'Christmas' morning and one we will never forget!
After presents, our family rushed to get ready for church.  We went to our usual retirement branch and everyone loved the kids.  The rest of the day we played games, went for walks and watched some movies.  It was a great 'Christmas'.

That's a great idea! Where are your parents going? I'm behind on the times, sorry.

Never mind! I just scrolled far enough back to find out where they're going. How exciting!

What a fun day! Thanks for suggesting we do it! Also, thanks for the help getting the presents. You really do know what they like!
