Snow is falling, Christmas music is playing and school is out for the holiday!
We got to spend Christmas with my family again this year! I was so excited to get the semester over with and head to Driggs for 2 weeks.
Up until Christmas eve me and my mom baked some yummy Christmas treats. Of course most of them went to neighbors and friends. And this year instead of decorating a ginger bread house we made some cookies and decorated those. It was still a lot of fun and you can eat the cookies when you are done. Unlike ginger bread houses. Then once that was done we also made some hot cocoa and sat by the fire to what the Christmas message given by the first presidency of the church that was on that night.
Here was my favorite talk of the Christmas Devotional
Well Christmas Eve has finally arrived and like every year we all head to grandma's house for dinner, gifts and my favorite part reading in the Bible about Jesus in Luke. After the story has been read we all sing Christmas songs and some of the kids will even do solos. It's fun to watch because a lot of them act really shy while singing.

After spending time with family we headed back home to open one present which is always pajama's and we love opening them every year. We all get so excited to see what kind of pajama's we got this year. It was funny because my mom played a trick on Michael and Justin when they both opened up there they did not like what they saw haha. Just keep in mind that Michael is a die hard Blazer fan and Justin is a die hard Heat fan. Here is the video I got of them opening there pajamas.
Here is what the girls pajamas looked like. I actually got to pick them out with my mom hehe. They are so soft and cute! Alesha got mad though, she was mortified that she did not get footy pajamas. The funny thing about it is that she never told my mom that she wanted them, so Alesha didn't quit get what she wanted for pajamas this year, but I think later on she decided she liked them.
Know here are some pictures with all of us and Michael and Justin wearing the wrong shirts haha
There we go! Thats the way they like it haha
Well it is Christmas day and what a wonderful morning it is. I think everyone got out of bed at 7:30 which is a lot better then years past! Here are some more pictures of our Christmas Morning.
I got Michael some parts for his Ford Mustang!
Michael fixed the star that Alesha accidentally broke and surprised me with it in a frame!
Uh Oh mom got a gun!!
In the spirit of Christmas I just want everyone to know how grateful I am for my wonderful family I have and all the wonderful memories and traditions we all share! I would be so lonely with out my awesome family and the comfort they bring me in my life and excepting me for who I am.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
