Merry Christmas One and All!

Santa came!

Our Stocking Train.... choo choo!
The beautiful before....
our cute one trying to open
a gift from his stocking.

The crazy after...

We had a great Christmas.

It was so special because we

were here with just our little family.

We missed our family dearly...don't

get us wrong, but it was really

neat doing this for our first time.

Greg and I had a wonderful holiday....

Our "Christmas rush" was through

weeks ago and so we were able to enjoy

the happiness that this time of year

always brings.

Greg got his much desired nintendo ds lite,

and I got my super super so much desired

cricut create machine (Greg surprised me,

I had no idea I was really going to get it!!)...

so all was so happy in our home ---it

would have been no matter what...it was

all really for the kids and they couldn't

be happier. Thank you to all of you who

sent us something to unwrap...we loved them

all!! My mom made amazing "prophet plaques" for

Luke and Olivia, and one for Greg and I...
i'll post pictures when they are complete up on our

walls. :)

And...the reason for this loved season...I'm so

grateful for my Savior. I know He lives and

that it is only because of Him that we can

live again where we all started out. I'm grateful

for His sacrfice and I love Him so much.

Merry Christmas.

Oh...and Luke was not too pleased that Santa didn't eat

every bite of the cookies we left. We put 3 on the plate

and Santa ate the first 2, but only took a couple of

bites of the 3rd cookie....

poor Luke was so confused why he didn't

eat the whole thing.

lol, cute kid.
