A Very Merry Mahchris!!

We worked very hard to get Audrey excited about Christmas, but it really didn't take much. She loved the lights, the tree, the decorations (which she kept taking off of the tree), the presents (mostly the wrapping paper and the box). It really was so fun to watch her get excited.

The one thing we could not get her to do was to say "Christmas". We would break it down for her and she could say the word broken up into pieces, but once we tried to get her to put it together, it would always come out "Mahchris". It was hilarious and we figured if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. So we did. We would sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Mahchris" and other carols like that. It became kind of a habit and I forgot that we needed to say it right so she could figure it out. But we'd try that for a while and then revert back to Mahchris. It was just too cute.

Audrey made out well. Spoiled rotten by her grandparents and Aunt Mindy (you can see a video of her opening presents below). She loved all the attention she would get from her Uncle Blake and cousins Cade and Carter (who loved to carry that 35 pound kid around - crazy!)

She loved Utah and the snow and kept pointing at the mountains and saying "bowntins!". Grams bought her a snow suit (you can see a video below) and her dad took her out sledding which she loved. I was surprised at how adaptable she was to the snow, having been in Florida her whole life, but she loved it.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mahchris!
