Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas and were surrounded by our family, which was the best! I am grateful for the true meaning of Christmas and for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the sacrifices he made in my behalf so that I can return to live -not only with him, but with my family forever. I love the Savior and hope as this holiday season passed we were all able to take a moment and remember it's true meaning!

And after that, enjoy the material parts of Christmas like us! Tree decorationg, cookie making, family time, gift exchanges, great food, and lots of relaxation. Below is our holiday in pictures.



Christmas wouldn't be complete without a little target practice
Andrew LOVED having his aunt Tiffany home, they had so much fun together!







They even snuggled on the couch and watched a movie together

We spent Christmas Eve at the Leavitt's home - the Kids had a blast opening presents and spending time with the family!


KB loved his football

The girls put together a sweet picture full of all Tom and Sylvia's grandkids

A picture of the family who was able to make it out for Christmas Eve - we missed Jaycee, Jesse, Jason, Mike and Elna terribly, wish you were there!

Christmas morning was semi-relaxed. We spent the morning as a family doing our traditional get up open stockings, eat breakfast, then open gifts. And since Christmas landed on a Sunday this year, we all got dressed and headed out to Church. After church we headed out to my parents house where we had a fabulous dinner (thanks mom), and opened more gifts. We were all spoiled rotten, and appreciate all the love!

KB found candy in his stocking

This kid makes the BEST faces!
