A Christmas Eve Christmas

We had a very non-traditional Christmas this year. Toren's family was scheduled to fly out Christmas day for Las Vegas (in route to Lake Havasu, Arizona...we're 100% bummed that we couldn't join them), so we decided to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning on the 24th.


To kick things off, we gathered in the dinning room, lit the fireplace, and enjoyed a delicious prime rib dinner by romantic candle light, accompanied by Josh Groban's magical voice on the CD player. After dinner we watched a short Church video of the Nativity story, and then Toren read the actual story to us out of the scriptures. Then, upholding the Forsberg tradition, we opened our Christmas Eve present, which, of course, was pajamas. We all changed into our new PJs and began celebrating Christmas Morning!


The gift opening was as exciting as ever. Toren and I got tickets to the play Wicked! I couldn't be more excited!! See the picture below for the present Toren was most excited about.

Toren's gift from Blair. Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before Bax devours it.

Baxter couldn't have been more happy shredding all the wrapping paper.

Our family. Notice the new PJs!

We miss you guys so much. It isn't the same without you. However, Mallory and Blair are sick, so maybe you are being saved from sickness.

Also, Braden LOVES his puppy. That is the perfect puppy for him. He has been playing with it everywhere. And thanks for it not making noise. You guys are the best. (Mostly you Audrey!)

Merry Christmas Aud! Looks like you have had all sorts of adventures! It snowed like crazy here in Rexburg too, but that is expected.
Hope that you are having a great holiday season! Miss you!
