Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas! On Christmas Eve we always read the scriptures about Christ's birth. Afterwards, we sing songs and drink hot chocolate, and open up a present. The present is always PJ's of course. They make sure Santa is well fed, as well as the reindeer. This is the easiest night of the year to get kids in bed. They are begging to go to bed so Santa can come. This year was no different. After kids were in bed, we finished up our Christmas stuff, and checked on each of the kids. The children were tucked all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.




In the morning we found out Santa had come, and Elfie had flown home for the year to live with Santa.

And we had some excitement upon waking and finding these:






The kids had a wonderful Christmas, and loved spending time with cousins, and playing with their new toys. We are grateful for our knowledge of our Savior. We are grateful for family and friends, who show us so much love. And we are thankful we get to spend time together as a family, celebrating the birth of Jesus.
