This year Christmas was extra special. The girls are old enough to really get into the holiday season and loved everything about it. We were counting down the days and they were so excited for Santa to come.
We celebrated Christmas with my side of the family on the 23rd. The girls had a lot of fun getting to play with cousins and they loved all the new toys they got.
On the 24th we started Christmas Eve out by going to church and then drove to Jason's parents house to spend time with his family. The girls were very excited to see everyone, and also loved playing with the dogs.
Finally it was time to get to sleep so Santa could come!
Marley woke up at 6:30 VERY excited to see what Santa brought. We couldn't get out there fast enough! It was so much fun to see their excitement with each present. Being a parent at Christmas is such a joy!
After breakfast the girls went outside to play in the snow with Jason and then we were able to skype with my parents and brother who live in California.
A few hours after that we went to another family gathering with my in-laws, and then spent the rest of the day at home enjoying lots of new toys and time together as a family.
We were truly blessed this holiday season to spend so much time together with family. I'm thankful for my Savior and the opportunity to celebrate his birth. Because of Him I get to be with them forever.
