Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was so fun to see the excitement in the kids faces as they opened their gifts. Holton was amazed with all the new things and once he opened one present, he didn't care about the rest. All Jaidyn asked for this year was an Easy Bake oven and the look on her face was priceless when she opened it up. She was so excited...too funny! Mateya loved her new Rollerblades but was disappointed she has to wait so many months to use them. Holton spent most of the morning riding his new scooter around the house and shooting everyone with his new Star Wars blaster (daddy's idea). It was a fun morning and we all felt very blessed!

After breakfast and playing with our new gifts for a bit we had to rush off to mom's house for dinner. We always have it early afternoon so all those who have other family to visit can spend the evening with them. It works out pretty well. Cyril's parents were away again this year, visiting his brother, so we didn't have to rush off again. We are so grateful for the Christmas season to be able to spend time with family and friends and focus our thoughts on our Savior. It is my favorite time of year!
