We drove up to Logan on December 21, 2010 to have our annual Christmas party with the Datwyler family. Danielle and Lindsey had flown in on the weekend and were spending the week with their in-laws but they were kind enough to let us share them for the evening. We stopped by Jon's house and traded our car for their van so we could all fit on our ride up to Logan. That allowed us to spend 4 extra hours with our kids. It is so hard to have them both living out of state and only able to see them 3 or 4 times a year.
The weather was awful getting up to Provo but cleared out for the trip to Logan. We got there just in time for the 5:00 pm start. We enjoyed a delicious dinner with many fabulous salads. After dinner we had our traditional talent show. Carlton and Lindsey shared "The top 10 tips for living in a big city" and Alexa performed "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" as representatives for our family talent. There were many other great musical and dance talents shared. Nect we had the traditional Christmas Eve inactment of the Nativity by the Grand kids. Joining them were Andrew and Spencer as Wise Men and Tyson as a shepherd. Katy held Alexa and they made heavenly angels.
A few gifts were opened and shared. Grandma didn't disappoint with fun fleece blankets for the unmarried kids. The married kids got dinner certificates to Olive Garden and the grand kids received new pajamas. Everyone was happy with their gifts.
We played games and enjoyed every minute as usual at Grandmas. We spent the night, had breakfast in the morning then Carlton and Lindsey went out to see Scott's collection of bikes with Dan and Andrew. We drove back to Provo and dropped off the kids. They will visit us for a week after Christmas. We drove back to St. George that evening. A long trip up and back but it really was a nice day with family.
