Today we relaxed with family and then gave in to the children's pleas to go skating. It was a bit on the chilly side and once we got everyone's skates laced up, we didn't last very long! If Hyrum had his way we would have stayed the entire afternoon.
We started dinner nice and early! As per tradition, Mr. Stannix made up a batch of Grampy's Tacos. We made a quadruple batch and ended up with around 50 tacos. It's a long process and I love turning on music and dancing around the kitchen with everyone as we work away tossing, filling, and re-frying the shells.
While Mr. Stannix and my brother tossed the shells, Naomi and I filled and sealed them with toothpicks.
We opened the big table out by the tree and everyone gathered round to eat! Between all of us we managed to eat almost all fifty. They were delicious!
Once dinner was cleaned up we opened our Christmas jammies and took some pictures by the tree.
All of these littles were pretty excited about Christmas the next morning and eager to set out milk and cookies for Santa!
We so loved having our little cousins to celebrate! Photographing nine littles is no joke.
Ollie and Grampa were looking extra cute playing with baby Owen while the rest of us were busy eating and visiting.
Camilla and Hyrum made sure to write Santa a letter and leave out some carrots for the reindeer.
Shortly after we got all of the presents under the tree, my camera caught Santa in action!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
