Christmas with the Hendricks

The Hendricks family had guests this Christmas

and had a gay ol' time.

Silas's parents, Mark and Brenny,

 came up from Arizona

 to visit their favorite children

(Silas & Julia).



Cookis from Christmas's Past



On Christmas Eve Amandah had lots of things planned:

make sugar cookies for Santa/ decorate them

go caroling

go see lights

make wassail

read the story of Christ's birth

open pajamas

of course, only 1/2 of these tasks happened.

She figured Santa was fat enough, right?

and who really likes staring at carol-ers in the freezing cold?

well...

She made her first homeade wassail

it was good.


They took a gander at the price gouging Spanish Fork
Festival of Lights...

It was actually pretty good!

Then they came home and Grandpa Mark read

the birth of Christ.

all the while Wyatt was anticipating opening his 1 present
(which he didn't know was going to be PJs).
Poor kid.
 It was almost as if he thought he was getting to meet Mario himself.
The wrapping paper flew.
The gift was open and life as he knew it was over.

Can you tell W is in that horrible teeth grinding smile stage?
It hurts my ears looking at it.

W & M hopped in bed.

The Elf made his trip back to the North Pole.

Sleep.

Amandah woke in the morning to make

some cinnamon rolls.
