Monday already?

Wow, where did time go? It is already Monday, and Christmas is over. That can be a relief and a sad thing. We had a great Christmas. David's parents came in Christmas evening. Got here in time for dinner! :) We hadn't opened all the presents, so after dinner we finished. We saved the best for last! We had bought a Wii about 3 months ago and it sat in my closet until Christmas Eve when I wrapped it. I thought the kids had seen it for sure, as they have been known to 'play' in the closet and climb to the Halloween candy that was stored at the top of the closet. Well, it was the last present pulled from under the tree and we gave each kid a different box to open (one was the Wii, there were 2 games and an additional DDR mat) so each of them -except Tyler- got a box to open. We had them open them at the same time. Yeah, I think they liked it!
Then the day after Christmas we went to the Mesa Temple to see the lights and hear a quartet sing. It was absolutely beautiful. David's dad said even Temple Square didn't have as many lights! It was so cold, but we enjoyed the night.
Yesterday we made one of my favoite things at Christmas time. David's dad is from Norway, and many years ago I was introduced to a favorite Norweigan Christmas dessert. Now you all know how much I love dessert. This is one of my favorites. Whenever his parents come to visit at Christmas, I BEG his mom to make it. It is called Sandkake. (don't know if I spelled it right...) It is so yummy! So his mom surprised me with the tarts already made, we just had to fill them with the creamy goodness that makes them so good! We sat and ate them all! I only had 2, ok, I may have had 3, 4... I may have lost count! :) It was fun to carry on this tradition with his parents.
Tonight we played the DDR game on the Wii. I had to get my camera and take a picture of Grandma trying out the game.
What a good sport! We couldn't get Grandpa to try -he claimed he would make us all look bad... Maybe next time.
All in all, we had a great Christmas and have enjoyed, very much, having David's parents here with us to help celebrate this wonderful time of year.
