Merry Christmas!!

For Christmas Eve we went to my parents house and ate pizza, had a Family Home Evening lesson on "The Symbals of Christmas", watched "A King Is Born", and had a gingerbread house contest. The boys win every single year! The boys are going down next year, it's our turn girls!!

We had a wonderful Christmas! The kids are all at such a fun age that I couldn't sleep at all because I was so excited to see their faces when they woke up in the morning. Caiden actually slept in until 7:45 and the girls both woke up at about
8:15. We enjoyed our morning looking at what Santa brought, opening presents, and looking out the window because it was still snowing.

Then we headed over to my parents house and had a delicious breakfast followed by WAY too many presents! Derek had to work a 48 hour shift starting Christmas morning so in the afternoon we drove out to the fire station so he could give us a tour, which was really fun.

We are so grateful for this beautiful Christmas season and for the opportunity it gives us to reflect on all that the Savior has done for us.
