Christmas at Baba's
This Christmas was one I will never forget. All of my siblings were able to come home for Christmas this year, which was so amazing! It was a crazy full house. We were all on top of each other and in each other's space, but we loved it!
It was the last Christmas at my mom's, as she will be selling the house to come and move into the walk-out basement at our house. It was crazy to think that this Christmas was the last we all will spend in that house. I have grown up in that house and have many incredible memories there. However, I am excited for the new adventures ahead!
Jordan out did himself this year. Not only did he get me a beautiful turquoise blue KitchenAid, which I desperately wanted, but he also had a turquoise ring specially made for me. Since loosing my engagement ring in Utah lake this past summer, I have been wanting something to wear on my lonely finger. When I opened it on Christmas day, I was so happy. It was gorgeous and designed by Jordan. I'll never forget it.
Jordan also made a 2 hour video of Kaya. It compiled all of the videos we had of her into one big movie. We watched it together shortly after Christmas, and it really was so fun! It is crazy to see how fast she has grown! I absolutely love it!
Another incredible part of this Christmas was that Kaya and Arden were both there together. Jenn and Stephen, and Jordan and I played "Santa" on Christmas Eve and set up the girls toys. It was so fun to finally do this for my kids, as my mom has done for me so many years.
Arden and Kaya got matching wooden baby doll beds, which they loved. We had them sitting out from Santa since Baba gave them both Cabbage Patch Babies on Christmas Eve. Kaya opened her baby and immediately kissed the baby. She seriously LOVED it! My mom made them cute little dresses and matching blankets. It made me so happy, and a bit teary eyed, to see my little girl open her first baby, from my mom.
Overall, Christmas was amazing. From eating way to much sugar, made by my mom, to the Charlie Brown Christmas tree, it was an incredible Christmas! I loved being able to spend so much time with all of my siblings and just laugh so hard! I never laugh so hard then when I am with my siblings. Great holiday!
