Christmas day was special this year because we had the whole White family together. It's been a few years since we had everyone there at the same time! We were especially excited to surprise the boys with a trip to Disneyland the day after Christmas!
We feel so incredibly blessed this year for so many things--but most of all, our dear families, friends and loved ones, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and our health! Miracles continue to surround us.
Trish made Carson a "Cars" blanket with a little pocket to store cars (or treats). So cute. The boys got Leap Pads from Grandma and Grandpa (perfect timing with a long car trip the next day), and both boys enjoyed their Santa gifts--a Hot Wheels track for Carson and a Lego set for Austin.
We sent the kids on a scavenger hunt with clues to find the last gift, which was a trip to Disneyland, with mouse ears as the final clue. It was a little anti-climatic though--I'm not sure if it was the fact that they were getting 'just' mouse ears, or that startled them by yelling in unison, "We're going to Disneyland!", but the kids were not as thrilled about the surprise as we all were. Maybe we should've opened that gift first and then the presents, because all they wanted to do was play with their new toys!
Nevertheless, once we told them all about Disneyland (it was their first time going, so they really had no expectations), they started getting pumped about it!
