Living The Life: Christmas Excitment

This years christmas was a blast as usual at the owen household.... We had lots of fun events leading up to the special day.... Christmas eve we started a new tradition last year that we had breakfast as a family and continued that tradition... later on we headed over to my grandma marlenes for a party where we had lots of yummy appetizers and played games.... We then headed over the the scofields for a traditional christmas eve party and darins 50 birthday never a dole moment there lots of laughs watching the boys play just dance and drinking the usual coke in the old fashion bottles. Later on that night we headed over to my grandma jb's to open are 1st present.... I couldn't wait to see what it was surprisingly we got pajamas ha:) Then it was time to head home and get ready for bed for Santa Claus to come... As a tradition we all sleep in the same room on Christmas eve so we slept down stairs in shaunies room I fell asleep quickly but about every 30 minutes I got a tap on the shoulder from dixon "marlie what time is it can we get up yet?" and me being someone who wants my sleep would say dixon it's 1:30 be quit and go back to bed! and contiued to wake up about every 30 minutes until 4 a.m. when he told us to wake up to open presents by 4:30 we were all ready to start opening presents me and shaunie were half asleep still but dixon had all of his opened from Santa in less then 5 minutes. fianlly after fully waking up I tore into my presents i must have been extra good because I was super spoiled! Santa brought my clothes, car charger for my ipod, itunes card, and a laptop. My parents gave me new pants, lots of shirts, victoria secret hoodies, scarfs, and jewelery. Dixon gave me a laptop case, shaunie gave me a new mirror to do my make-up at and shellac, carlie and ike gave me boot warmers and lotion. My grandma JaDene and grandpa Dick gave me a new UV nail light, 25 new nail stamping plates, JCrew bubble necklace and earings. Tawnie Johnnie and kids gave me a cute scarf and necklace. My grandma Marlene gave me 2 cute scarfs from the carribean and my grandma Connie and Papa Dean gave me a new soft blanket.... I was also pretty excited to give the gifts that I had got for my family.... I got my mom, dad, carlie, and ike a canvas picture of the brigham temple, shaunie I made her a chalk board gave her a movie and phone case, dixon I got new ipod charger and itunes card, and wytten I got baby food and a rock n' roll elmo.
