Christmas Day

Christmas morning was so exciting! It was so much fun to watch the kids come out and get so excited about everything. Tyler has been exercising INCREDIBLE patience waiting to open all the presents under the tree. I kept thinking of Pres. Uchtdorf's talk of kids waiting 15 minutes to eat marshmallows. Well Ty has been waiting a month to open these and I am so proud of him for not sneaking into them early! He counted them often and was always re-stacking/sorting them. Needless to say, Christmas morning was very fun for him. They must have been really good kids this year because Santa left them some wonderful toys! My favorites are the art easel and the trampoline to get all their energy out!! Especially during this cold winter.

We talked to my brother on the phone who's still serving in Prague. It was wonderful to hear from him--he's really grown up a lot on his mission. After that we went over to the Reeds for a delicious Christmas dinner. Kenny also had fun playing on their new Wii. It was a beautiful White Christmas and we enjoyed spending it with each other and our friends.
