Here are a few snapshots from Christmas Eve and Christmas. Our tradition in my family growing up was to go out to dinner on Christmas Eve. Then after dinner we go home and everyone colors a cardboard box and writes "Merry Christmas" with their name and the year and draws some cute pictures. Then they set them out for Santa to fill. So we did that with my family this year. When we got to Outback for dinner, I was shocked to see that my sister Celest and her family of 6 had driven all the way from Memphis Tennessee to surprise us all and be here for Christmas! That was so fun! Probably the most fun part of my Christmas. The kids had fun coloring boxes and opening their pajamas and slippers. Christmas morning we had Andy's parents and his sister Sherie with her 3 kids for breakfast and one game. Later we head out to my parents to do more Christmas stuff. The Sunday after we had a party with my Moms family. It was lots of family and plenty of fun. We are mostly grateful for our Savior, for the whole reason that we celebrate Christmas. We are grateful for his birth and his life and example and especially for his atonement and resurrection.
