On Christmas Eve we went to church with Nate's family and enjoyed an amazing mass, and afterwards we ate dinner at a cute little restaurant. When we got home, Will wrote his Christmas list on Santa's cookie plate, and managed to fall asleep, although he was filled with a ton of adrenaline :)
Because Will had stayed up so late, I had to wake him up the next morning! It didn't take much though, and as soon as he realized he was awake, he was up and running into the living room. We opened our Santa gifts, and made our way over to Nathan's parents house for some breakfast and gift exchanging. We (minus Grandma Carol and Jakey) headed down to the movie theatre to watch Marley and Me... what a cute movie!!! And then after the movie we went back to the Maier's and had a wonderfully delicious Christmas dinner. During dinner Nate and I decided on surprising my grandparents in Phoenix with a last minute trip. So first thing the next morning, we were off to Arizona! But first we went home and enjoyed a gift exchange with my dad and sisters :)
The next day my grandparents were completely surprised!! Their garage had been open, so we just walked into their house, and my grandpa was stunned for quite a few minutes... it was super funny!! Our weekend was full of spending time with our family, and was absolutely amazing. It was a great end to Christmas week :)
