Christmas (photo dump!)

Christmas is my favorite time of year.  I love the traditions that have been made in my family.  They are traditions I hold near and dear to my heart and hope to pass them on to my children some day.  On Christmas Eve we read the Christmas story out of the bible and we sing Christmas songs in between different verses.  I played the piano this year for the songs.  Another tradition is opening pj's every year on Christmas Eve.  I made some for Jon and me.  They both had penguins on them but Jon's is fleece and mine are flannel.



























Mom photo bombing us with her pajamas.







I also made Jon a pair of flannel pajamas as well.



On Christmas morning we were planning on sleeping in, but thanks to a text from Darin, we were up at 5am.  We laid in bed as long as we could and went into the living room around 7.


Santa brought Jon a Pea Coat!!!  He loved it.



Santa brought me a folding table!!! I love it!


Coat fits Jon perfectly






Dad opened an under seat storage container for his truck.







Grandpa opening his new hat



It looks great


Mom opening boots I got her



Lisa's family came over Christmas afternoon for dinner then we opened gifts with them.  The kids had so much fun with all their toys.







Tyler loved his truck that held cars.



Olivia got these goofy pair of glasses, so we all tried them out.





Merry Christmas!!!

I am so thankful for this time of year to reflect on the birth of the Savior.  I am thankful for his sacrifice and the blessing that has brought into our lives.  I know my Savior lives.  I am so grateful for the Atonement and the chance we have to return to our Father in Heaven.
