An Early Christmas!!

Although Christmas is over we actually celebrated Christmas twice! The week before Christmas we headed up to an extended Lewis family Christmas party. It was a lot of fun seeing aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and all who attended. We ate lots of yummy food and talked and laughed!

Caleb must have eaten 3 or 4 gingerbread cookies! They were very soft, chewy, and tasty! And every time I turned around he had another one in his mouth!! After most of the guests left we opened presents with Grandma and Grandpa since we weren't sure when the next time we would be up.

Grandpa's boy! Caleb sure loves his grandpa! And I sure love grandpa's hat!!

Speaking of hats...Aunt Marla made this cute black hat for Mara! It looks so darling on her! Thanks Marla!

Ty opened his present from Grandma Lewis and found a beautiful 4th of July blanket! If you can't tell from the picture Ty LOVES it! He sleeps with it now every night and curls up to watch movies with his blanket! Thank you Grandma Lewis!

Grandma Lewis must have been extra busy this year because she not only sewed a blanket for Ty but also sewed matching Christmas jammies for all the grandkids! They look so cute!

Ty's other favorite gift from grandma and grandpa was his new castle that lights up and has sound! Pretty awesome!

Mara loved her little pet shop present! Fun fun!

And Caleb was thrilled with a new game!

After we opened presents some of the family headed over to see the lights at Temple Square! So fun! Cold but awesome! Glad we could go! I love seeing the lights especially with family! It just makes it really feel like Christmas! I kind of felt like Christmas was over since we opened presents and saw the lights all on one night! But we still had a week to go!!

Isn't this awesome?! They put a nativity on the reflection pond along with floating candles! It was looked so amazing!

Two great Aunties we love so much!! Thanks Beanie and Chels for keeping little Mara Lew warm while we saw the lights!!

I love to see the temple...especially at Christmas time with all the lights! It is so majestic and beautiful!

We really packed it in this weekend!! After we walked around Temple Square our family headed over to the Energy Solutions Arena and watched the Jazz scrimmage. It was fun being in the Delta Center and watching basketball even if it wasn't a real game!

From all the walking around and not having a nap Caleb was exhausted! He took a quick nap at the basketball game on Nate's lap! Ty was pretty tired too! But we all still had a good time!

It was a fun weekend! Thank you Lewis Family for celebrating with us! Thanks Grandma Lewis for the cute Christmas jammies! The kids sure look cute in their matchy-matchy jammies!
