Christmas Day

I am trying to get caught up on all my holiday blogs. They are coming slowly but surly.


We headed over to the Mendenhall's for the morning to open presents and have lunch. Santa was very good to us! We received a 10" Digital Photo Frame, baby stuff and a neat tile with our last name printed on it and a quote from Gordon B. Hinkley. The very last present was address to the Mendenhall Boys. So Sterling and I opened it up together. It ended up being a Nerf Dart Tag Strike Fire 2-Player Duel System. There were 2 sets so that meant 4 guns total!

Here is Sterling and I opening the boxes.Sterling taking the first shot and I think he was aiming for Parker.
Sterling aiming at me with the camera.Marshall joining in on the fun!Sterling and me in the back ground shooting him from behind.
Jordan shooting at his dad who is behind the camera.

I asked if I could borrow these guns to take to my parents house and have a Nerf war with my sisters and bro-in-laws.


Brad loved these! He was so into it. Jono too! He was trying to hide behind the dinning room table. We lost some darts in the process of this very fun game.
Danielle is being hit as u can see the dart deflecting off her from being shot by her dear sweet hubby!
Retaliation! Danielle made him pay for that.
Adrienne is hiding behind some boxes and trying to shoot Jono who is still behind the table.
And as you can see Jono is making Adrienne pay for shooting him!

As you can see from Danielle's face we were laughing so freaking hard! I don't think that my mother-in-law realized that such a inexpensive gag gift would have brought 2 families such joy and laughter on Christmas Day! These toys were one of my favorite and probably one the most memorable gifts from this Christmas.
