Christmas Recap #2

Christmas morning we got up to see what Santa brought to Grandma's house for us (we made sure to tell him we would be at Grandma's this year). 



We had a yummy breakfast with Papa and Grandma Lu and then got dressed and headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Newmans to open more presents!  I swear we get so spoiled!

The biggest surprise at my Mom's was that I got a MIXER!  Can I just tell you I have been asking for a mixer for YEARS?!  But I've just never wanted to drop the $$$ on one.  Thankfully the Parents came through big time this year.  I was shocked and not expecting it at all!  The mixer has changed my life lol.  I use it ALL the time! Love it!!  (Is it sad I get that excited about a kitchen appliance?)


Lukie and Drew of course got some fun stuff too.  Lucky boys!



The next day we spent the morning with Raleigh's parents at the Hill Aerospace Museum.  Wow that place is SO cool!!  It was amazing to see the planes and hear the stories about many of them from Raleigh's dad.  Raleigh's Grandpa Thompson was a flight mechanic during WWII as well so it was so cool to see the kind of plane he would have flown on.  Really gave me such an appreciation for the amazing men and women who serve our country. 


Monday night Raleigh had to catch a plane back to Vegas at 10 p.m. to head back to work so we met up with our friends from high school and had dinner.  I love these people!  They are so nice to make time to get together with us around a busy time of year.  It was great to catch up with everyone. 


Hope everyone had a great Christmas as well!  (2 months ago..)
