We started off the Christmas season at the Grand America Hotel attending Breakfast with Santa. I love love their food, it's sooo good. The best part is they have two omelette stations, a dessert bar, fresh fruit, hot chocolate, and if you aren't in the mood for breakfast there's a selection of corn dogs, and mac n' cheese. Oh, and there's a complimentary photo with santa too.
Micah and some of his nieces and nephews, left to right, Hobie, Aiden, Aspen, Jeffro, and Uncle Micah. 
Camie and I taking a break between eating. It's just too good to stay away.
Uncle Micah and Jeffro being silly. Chrismas Eve we traveled up to Logan to be with my family. We switch off every year with Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a good thing we have Kairie to spoil, it's just a weird feeling when there's not a kid around. Even though she's only 4 months old and doesn't understand what or who Santa is, it's still fun.
Here's Kairie and Grandpa Kenny. We like to tease and if you look closely if you put all of their hair onto one person they would have a full head of hair. Kairie is bald on the bottom, and my dad is bald on the top.
We go to Grandma Aftons house for a little party. Karla had purchased Super Mario Brothers for the Wii so we liked to play that all night. Grandma made some of her yummy cinnamon rolls, but they kept disappearing before everyone got there. Micah blamed it on the "Ghost of Christmas Past" Hmmm...I caught them red-handed with one of them!

Here's some of the cousins, Grandma has 22 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. So it was a smaller crowd this year. Here's us in our pajamas. 
I don't know why or how this happens. We like to wrestle in my family, and the living room is just getting way too small for big boys to wrestle anymore. Here's Micah and Uncle Ron and then there's Grandma in the background yelling "You boys best not be breaking anything!! Or I'll swat your behinds! I don't care how big and tough you are."
CHRISTMAS MORNING!! We all slept in. Really slept in. I woke everyone up at 10:45 a.m. to open presents. Guess we just partied too hard on Christmas Eve. Here's some of my Christmas presents from Micah/Santa. Scriptures with "Tawni Afton Platt" my new name finally!! A pretty all black Fossil watch, a Columbia jacket, picture frame, and glasses from Ikea.
Uncle Travis and Uncle Ryan got Kairie a BUMBO. She loves it. She loves finally being able to sit up on her "own" and hang out with the boys. Here's Uncle Ryan and her watching some Christmas shows on the TV. 
Here's the video from Christmas morning. In our family Santa presents aren't wrapped, and you can't pass the stairs until everyone is there and my dad gives the ok. It used to be mayhem, one of us trying to be the first one in the room. But since we're older and much more sophisticated we try and act like adults. But it's still fun. Travis got an XBOX 360, Ashley got a new cell phone and ipod Nano, Ryan and Jr. Platts (us) got Wii's :) We are so excited to add to our collection of Wii games now. For sure the Wii Fit, and Super Mario Brothers is what we're planning on getting...for now.
