The best two Christmas packages just arrived.....MY PARENTS!

My parents decided to personally deliver our Christmas presents this year.  I was so excited to have them come and share some of our Christmas with them.  They came for four days and they came baring gifts. My version of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Stephen's hot cocoa, cinnamon bears and grandma sycamore bread! Big ole YUMMY!




Brynlee and Grandpa met for the first time.  She took to him quite well.  He was always willing to hold her so I could get some things done.
First, we made sugar cookies.  I love sugar cookies but sometimes the production is overwhelming.  Well, I learned the key to decorating sugar cookies is.............. GRANDMA!  The cookies turned out so cute and SO yummy.  Grandpa was in charge of holding Brynlee during the event.

 Some good snuggle time with Grandma.
 And of course what is a visit without getting your hair done by your granddaughter?

Lunch at school with the kids.  Grandpa always buys the school lunch just to try out the food.

I was so excited that the timing of their visit coordinated with our Stake Festival of the Nativities. It is always so nice to look at all the nativities. Plus it brings back so many memories of putting together the event with mom in Twin Falls.  They had a kids room where the kids could do a craft, color, and dress up. So here is our little Gremmert nativity.  Notice the baby Jesus.  Cassidy of course had to be the angel since she was an angel for Halloween. 




Grandma and Grandpa bought a whole slew of presents.  The kids were so excited and wanted to open them all.  We let them open one present.  They loved what they got!
I just loved that they came out to see us.  It meant so so so much to me.  I loved sharing some of Christmas with them.  I was able to shop a little with my mom and wrap presents with her.  I love doing that with her.  It was a great visit.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

I'm so glad they got to come out and be with you. I'm jealous that I didn't get to spend time with them. I love your mom and dad.
