So our Christmas turned out to be pretty good. Even though we were away from home, we kept busy and had a lot of fun. In the morning I woke up and opened our bedroom door to find a paper hanging from a string right in front of my face. This was on the paper:
Late last night Santa was here
And filled your home with Christmas cheer.
He usually puts presents under the tree
Where children’s faces light up with glee,
And fills the stockings with chocolate and candy
Just like for every other Tom, Dick and Randy.
But this year he thought he’d have some fun
Before his yearly quest was done.
So with a little help from your handsome spouse
He hid your loot all over the house.
To find each one marked with a bow
Follow the Christmas map shown below.
Kevin, er, I mean Santa, had written this poem and made this map for me and I had to follow it to find my presents. It was pretty fun and I was so impressed with his creativity, I had to share it with everyone.
Anyway, on Christmas Eve we ate dinner and watched Elf, then we got on skype with Kevin's family in Oregon and he read the christmas story while they acted it out.
On Christmas day, after my little treasure hunt, we drove up to West Valley City to hang out with my aunt and uncle and their three boys. We ate breakfast, played games and enjoyed their company for a while then we came back to Orem to eat dinner with two other couples in our ward who also stayed here during the holidays. From there we went back up to Lehi to watch a movie with some friends.
We finally got back home at about 1:30 AM and even though we were exhausted by the end of it, all-in-all, we had a really good Christmas. :)

What a cute idea! Tyson and I need to be more fun with this stuff. We're the same ol' boring people who stick the presents under the tree :0)
