Wednesday:
We headed down to PHX and enjoyed playing outside in the warm weather and catching up! That night Gma and Gpa were kind enough to watch Ember so that Dustin and I could go and watch "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." We LOVED it!
Thursday: Christmas Eve
We woke up and took it slow relaxing and taking care of business. Once Ember woke up from her first nap we headed over to T-Mobile where Dustin, Dad, and I got new phones for Christmas :)
Then we got some Starbucks to take home! YUM!! That night was the Christmas Eve service at Grace Covenant. We had LED battery operated candles for the last song.
After the service, we were blessed to have Jed, Alma, and Grandpa Flin over for a chili dinner. We had a very tasty pumpkin roll for dessert (thanks to Alma). After company headed home for the night, we opened our stockings - following the Flin family tradition!
FUN! Ember got some hair clips, some black jeggings, and her very own red hotwheels car. She was thrilled!
Santa Baby :)
Dustin was "forced" to finish off the last of the wine from dinner
Wednesday: Christmas Day
Christmas morning! Yeah! The day Jesus was born! :) We started off at the Flin's for some gifts and fun times!
Then we headed over to Ryan and Molly's house to meet the rest of the Evans family. The gifts were outrageous and very generous and the food was very tasty!
Dustin and his Tiki man from Jared and Hope's honeymoon trip to Maui
Mima and Ryan cutting the prime rib and making the Yorkshire Pudding
The red velvet bundt cake for dessert
Corbin and Ember both kindly took naps while the adults opened gifts so they had their own private gift session after dinner!
Then we headed back up to Flagstaff and got there a little before 10:30! We are so thankful to have so much family to spend the holidays with and already can't wait till next year! Love you all!
Looks like a very nice time! Glad you got to be with both sides! Lovely family pictures! I love the candle picture of Ember too! :)
