Christmas was so fun this year! On Christmas Eve we went out to Logandale to spend the day with Aaron's family. We played games started a puzzle and ate a yummy dinner. After dinner is when their traditions start. First we do a talent show. Where every person or family has to perform. This year Aaron, Ezra and I sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. I sang the song and Aaron and Ezra did the echo. I do not know how to carry a tune but we were pretty awesome! Then grandpa Boren reads the nativity story. Usually the kids act it out but this year they didn't and they tried to make the adults do it. You can guess, we didn't do it. Then we all just sat around and talked. It was a really fun night.
This is us right after our oh so beautiful musical number!
On Christmas day we had to wake Ezra up because he was exhausted from the night before. So, we got out of bed around 8 and started opening presents. Ezra was really excited that Santa made it to our house. He was confused that Santa came while we were sleeping and not when we were awake to play. Silly kid! After we were done at our house we went to my parents to participate in the 1st annual Rice Family Decathlon. My family loves any excuse to compete against each other so we thought it would be really fun on Christmas day to have a tournament. Well, we first had dutch oven breakfast. YUMMY! And then we opened gifts. After gifts it was time for us to get our game face on kick some butt! One of the events was to make a t-shirt for the Decathlon. And guess who won that event, oh yeah, it was me. I think Aaron came in 3rd. Then we had a pine cone throw. My brother won that event but I did beat all the girls! Yesss! Aaron came in 2nd. 3rd was a bike race and it was windy and raining. People probably thought we were a bunch of crazies riding in the rain. Aaron kicked all our butts. I came second to last :( I was slightly upset! I wanted a re-do. I blamed it on the slippery roads. Next we made a craft and I won again! Don't worry I might be competitive. We were going to do a hula hoop contest and play dodge ball but by that time it was almost snowing outside so we decided not to. Our last event was ping pong. Starting that Aaron, my brother Eric and I were tied for first. And the winner was Aaron!! Woop woop! Oh and my brother may have thrown the ping pong paddle in the bushes mumbling something about poor lighting. Did I mention all my family is insanely competitive. Now, we had an agreement that whoever won had to display the trophy in their house that whole year until the next decathlon.The trophy is an ore. Yeah I know what you are thinking! Really an ore. Well, my sister tried to find the most random thing she could find but don't you worry, it's hanging in our family room! Anyways, I have such an amazing family. We had so much fun together! I love the Christmas season and I am always sad to see it go.
This is Aaron and I throwing our pine cone
This is the order we finished
This is everyone, minus my dad, doing the craft
I won! You can't really tell but it's a train and you can kinda see my rad shirt!
Aaron's was really good! He made a sled. I actually thought he should have won.
This is my mom and me playing ping pong. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures because it was freezing.
And of course Ezra could have spent all his time in this car.
Second thing- Last night Ezra told me to lay down and take a nap while he massaged my feet. Nice!! He is so cute!
