Christmas


We had so much fun this Christmas. All of my brothers and sisters were here and it was so much fun spending time with them. My mom put together a Nativity for the kids; they got in costumes and it was so much fun to watch. The kids decorated a tree with all of our handmade childhood ornaments and it was fun to look at all the stuff we had made when we were young. When Doug and I had Alexa we started a tradition of opening up one gift on Christmas Eve which is Christmas pajamas. This year we got them cute little Santa Clause pajamas. After that, we put out some cookies and milk for Santa Clause. In the morning the girls had so much fun opening up their presents and playing with all of their toys. Their favorite gifts of course were the dolls and princess dress-ups. They are such girly little girls. Later on that day, we went over to my parents house and opened up some more gifts and ate lunch. It was such a fun day. We had such a wonderful Christmas holiday and I am grateful for the Spirit we felt. I am so grateful for the birth of Jesus Christ and I am grateful for all he has blessed us with.

Temple Square

Yesterday we went to Temple Square with our good friends the Chatterleys and the Gibbons. We had such a good time seeing them. I can't believe how much their kids have grown. All of us have girls and no boys. We went to The Spaghetti Factory for dinner and were able to talk and catch up. It's always fun when we get together because the boys are so funny and all we do is laugh. They are such fun friends and I am glad we could get together.
