Christmas Day

This Christmas was the first Christmas we have spent at home as a family. We have always been at my parent's house. Although we missed being there that morning, we enjoyed spending it together as family. I am sad that I didn't get any pictures of my boys that morning (what was I thinking?!?) because I was too busy trying to video tape them. I do love watching the short clips I got though and so do my boys. Kyson is one of the most animated little boys in the world. He will, and did get excited about anything and everything he got. Even the underwear he got in his stocking, he thought they were the greatest:) I know I will always treasure those short video clips of my boys and the way the interact at this age. Next year I will do better about getting both pictures and videos of Christmas morning!


By the way...I tried to upload a couple of the videos and it's just not working. If I figure it out, I'll add them later.

After opening presents we had to jump in the car to head to Show Low.  We wouldn't have been in a rush, but we were trying to make it in time for my parent's ward so we could enjoy church with my family.  We definitely made good time and got there just a couple minutes before the meeting started...whew!!!  After church we enjoyed opening a few more presents from my family, having a yummy Christmas dinner, and visiting and playing games until midnight or later.  

There were many times that day that I stopped and thought about how truly blessed I am.  Being surrounded by family and enjoying being together on Christmas was wonderful to me.  Having both my boys healthy and happy and having fun is such a tremendous blessing.  Plus soon we will be adding a girl to this mix and she is growing and developing just as she should.  It truly was a day to celebrate and thank Jesus Christ for all he has done for us.
