Christmas Day

It isn’t every Christmas you can go swimming or get in the hot tub, but this Christmas we did. The Marshall kids were patient and waited for the big kids to wake up and we all opened stockings on Christmas morning together. We had a nice breakfast of cinnamon rolls and egg casserole with sausage and bacon. 

The rest of the day was busy with various activities and capped off with a prime rib Christmas dinner. A perfect way to cap off the evening. 

The boys and I went on a tour of lights in Gilbert thanks to D-man’s research. There was an entire street that was decked out and synced to music. All three of us got our videos going - super impressive! 

During our drive, T-man mentioned how Christmas Day after 12:00 isn’t really that special to him. And if you consider all of his Christmas’s, we almost always travel on Christmas Day. We obviously didn’t travel last year and the year Bob passed away, we didn’t travel until a few days after Christmas. But, it means we don’t have any Christmas traditions after opening gifts. And from the lack of picture, it’s true! 

However, iit was great to be together on Christmas and share this memory together.
