I decided that I would just try to put the rest of the Christmas' all in one big post. I wanted to post lots of pictures but there is just too much and I really need to get it all caught up for my own sake. So here it goes... After leaving Omaha on Dec 17th (after Jantsen's Christmas preschool program, which I will post pictures later) we drove through Denver to St. George. Can i just say I LOVE Denver and the mountains are beautiful. We spent the night at my dad's childhood buddy Mike Tyce and his wife Lisa's home in Denver. They are just fabulous and we were so grateful for the last minute hospitality!! anyways we got to St. George the next afternoon and that is when the relaxation...right?.. and the numerous Christmas' and present mayhem began!!
Christmas stop #1: St. George, Utah (Dec. 18-Dec. 22)
We had an absolutely wonderful time in St. George staying with Pa and Claudia in their new beautiful home. It was nice to have good weather, it wasn't hot but it wasn't freezing Nebraska either. We spent most of the time hanging out with our family (Pa, Claudia, Kade, Brent, Heather, Carter and Parker). The boys went golfing, Heather and I got a pedicure (love them!) and caught up (gossiped) with each other, and the folks got to be grandparents and watch all the kiddies! We really had a lot of fun and Jantsen had a great time with his cousins Carter and Parker. One of the best parts was that we even had our own little guest "casita" at their home. It was the perfect size for our little family and it was so comfortable. Thanks so much Pa and Claudia! We love you guys!
Stop #2: Lehi, Utah (Dec. 22-24)
Our plan was to celebrate Christmas with Kyle's mom and his side of the family (everyone sleeping over and opening presents) on the morning of the 24th. So in the end it turned out to be a 3 day Christmas Eve /Day whole shabang celebration...I really think we might have screwed up Jantsen's whole perception on what Santa really does and when exactly Christmas is. He still thinks that when seeing Christmas lights indicates that Santa is coming and that Christmas is the next day...anyways. I ended up going last minute shopping with my mom and brothers and sister (happens every year) while Kyle took the kids up to his mom's. The next day we went to church at our old ward in Orem and it was nice to see our old friends and neighbors. We had a delicious roast dinner made by Evelyn that evening and spent the rest of the evening hanging out, watching Christmas movies, playing games, and having a good ol' "Christmas Eve"... sortof... time. The next morning (Dec 24) we woke up and opened presents. Jantsen was helping Grandma Nana play Santa while Kambryn and Emerson were the models for all the pictures that were being taken. Jantsen also had a good time showing uncle Greg ALL of his toys after he opened them. We had a great christmas at the Mosher's, received wonderful gifts, and had fun spending time with everyone. How lucky am I to have wonderful in-laws that I just love being around and my kids loving being around as well?!
