What a wonderful Christmas! Christmas has got to be the best time of year. Having a three year old made it even more magical and special.
Our family Christmas photo taken at Tyson's parents house.
Christmas morning was a bit crazy because it fell on a Sunday and we had 9:00 church. We decided we would just focus on opening stockings and the kids' gifts from Santa and leave the rest for after church. Here are the girls in their matching PJs excited that Santa didn't forget them.
We were so excited when Tom, Mayer and Billy decided to drive from Utah to join all the us (and my dad and Beth) for Christmas.
The only thing Nina asked for was Rapunzel. She was beyond thrilled to get it. To top it off Grandma Beth and Grandpa Larry got her a Rapunzel tower to put her dolls in. This girl couldn't have been happier. She was definitely on Santa's good list this year.
Tom and Tyson drew each others names for Christmas this year. So of course they got each other gifts that any manchild would want. Here is Tyson with his air soft gun.
Susie got an Alphabet train from Grandma and Grandpa and the girls had a blast cruising around the kitchen on it.
It turned out to be a wonderful day. All in all I think it took about eight hours to open presents that day (between naps and eating). This time of year makes me reflect and realize how blessed we are with wonderful family and friends. But most importantly how blessed we are for the Savior, whose birth we celebrate this time of year. I am grateful for a holiday which focuses on His birth.
