We had a relaxing day when they came in town. The next day we went to Crater Lake. The weather was little worse than last week before when we took Joey up there. We got there just in time before you couldn't see the lake. There was an rainbow over the lake which was a first for me.
We watched Christmas movies just about every night and play games(Catch Phase is an AWESOME game!). On Christmas Eve, after Averie Jo went to bed, we started putting the kitchen and wagon together. Less than five minutes later, I realized I forgot how much Josh and I love to put stuff together(NOT!) I decided that the girls can work on the kitchen and the boys work on the wagon(Thanks Richardsons and Williams for helping us!). It was much nicer that way and we both got the toys put together. This is the first official year we stayed up late to put toys together for Averie Jo! Averie Jo is still little too young to understand Santa Claus but she understand we can open the presents. My mom always put candy in our stockings but she wasn't here so therefore I did it. I want to keep it a surprise from Josh so he can have little surprise from me because I figured he thought he is getting a satellite radio from me even through I tried to play it off that I wasn't going to get him one. We got Diesel a giant bone and he is still working on it today.
The Richardsons told my parents that they would be happy to take their presents for us in the truck instead shipping them to us. I heard about this and wondered if they really know how many presents they give to us! The truck was packed super tight and had no room to spare at all! It was a tight ride coming up here. :)
Christmas day was fun! We got up around 7:30ish and got Averie Jo up. Averie Jo opened her presents first and she opened every single one! The last couple presents we had to help little more because she was pretty much done opening them. She even laid on the floor and open them. We got lots of gifts and thankful for them! We skyped with my family. It was little strange not seeing them in person. It is our first year away from them. Skype definitely helped and knowing that we will see them in just few weeks!
We had yummy homemade dinners all week long and went out a couple times. I have never use my dishwasher so many time in a week! I ran it at least once a day!
Diesel's BIG bone!
I'm tired of opening presents!
Jordan taking Diesel for a walk few times. Diesel was Jordan's best friend during the week and was very watchful of him and hope Jordan will take him for a walk after he put his pair of shoes on. Thanks Jordan! I haven't be able to take him for a walk for a while because I don't want to take Averie out in the cold.
The week went by so fast! The next we know we were saying goodbye to them! I didn't realized how wore out Averie was until they left. She took a four hours nap the day they left and sleep in until about 10 in the morning for 4-5 days. Also three hours nap in the afternoon too! It was lovely for me!
