Christmas with the Gunnell's

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Reyn got the day off. SO Christmas morning Reyn came and woke me up and we opened our presents to each other. Reyn made Christmas special this year! HE is such a great husband. Then we waited a little bit and Royce woke up. And we got him his breakfast and then into the living room to open his presents. He didn't really know what to do. He was just so excited to rip the paper off. Reyn got him a Cardinals jersey - # 11 Fitzgerald. :) Royce wore it all day. haha. After we got all our gifts opened and cleaned up a bit. And packed up the truck. We drove to Reyn's parents house to open presents with Reyn's family. We had the big gift for his dad in our truck - an air compressor. And on the way to their house the wrapping paper blew off. haha! SO we had to re wrap it before taking it into Reyn's parents house. We had a blast opening presents there. The whole family was there. We had breakfast and made the kids sing Christmas songs. It was fun. Royce just kept bringing me everyone's bows and ribbon from their presents. haha. I had like 20 of them in my lap by the time we were all done. He loved watching everyone and when one of the kids would get excited so would he. After opening everything at Reyn's parents we headed to Lakeside to be with my family. It was wonderful being up there. Royce loved walking around in the snow. He would fall and try to get up and then because he has a large head would face plant in the snow. Poor baby has chapped cheeks and forehead now from that. But we just played out in my parents yard. My brother and little sister pulled us around on the sled around the drive way. It was fun :) We didn't stay out very long, it was sooo cold! We had a really good time with my family. My mom made a really good turkey dinner Christmas day. And my grandma and aunt came. Saturday we hung out and just enjoyed the day. Sunday we went and fed the ducks. Royce's first time. He loves to quack like a duck. He says "gack gack" haha! it's so cute! He followed them around and tried to talk to them. We got to church early so we could be there for Donny. He got set apart, he is a teacher now, no more deacon! It is crazy! He is growing up so fast! We are all really proud of him for doing what's right. We just stayed for sacrament. Then came back to my parents house loaded up the truck and came back home. It was a busy enjoyable weekend! We had a very wonderful Christmas. We are very blessed. We have great families! We have so much to be grateful for! We hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2010 here we come!
