Our Christmas

Christmas was so good for us this year. Our parents did way to much for us, and we are grateful for all of them. We had a fun day, full of lots of family and many laughs! We started out the morning by going to my parents house at 7:30 to open presents with everyone. Then we went to my in-laws and played some fun games, ate a yummy breakfast, and opened presents. From there we went over to my dads parents, then we went to the movies with Bruce's parents. After the movie we went out to my mom's parents house for dinner, and we ended the night playing Wii and watching a movie at Bruce's parents house. I love this time of year, and the opportunity we have to reflect on Christ's birth and all the sacrifices he made for us.

My gifts. Bruce is so sweet, I LOVE to read, so he got my a new book! I was so excited, and I hear this book is suppose to be amazing. Every year he gets me a new necklace, and I love the one he picked this year!

Christmas Eve

Every year since I was a little girl my family always goes to my mom's parents for Christmas Eve. We have steak and lots of yummy food, and we exchange presents with them! It has always been something I look forward to doing. I just LOVE Christmas traditions...

Grandma Sue's Christmas FHE!

This last Friday we had my grandma's annual Christmas Family Home Evening. Every year my grandma finds a story to tell us....She has a theme from the story, and we always get a gift to remind us of the story. Then she gives us a copy to put in our book. It is a tradition I always look forward to.
