More Christmas in Review

So we spent Christmas at home this year and is was so fun to just be home and enjoy the girls on Christmas morning. They were adorable and their eyes so bright with excitement to see what exactly Santa was all about and to open all their presents. It is so fun to spoil your kids. They had a my little pony Christmas and played with all their toys all day. We had a yummy breakfast, Jer made crepes and little smokies are a tradition. Later that day we headed to the Martineau home to play with all the ride on toys. Mom made a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and we all played games. On Christmas eve day we all had a gingerbread house decorating contest and they all turned out so different, it was so much fun. The little kids ate so much candy and Jer and I had fun watching the candy on our roof constantly slide off because we used to much marshmello cream. Later that night we had dinner, acted out the Christmas story of the Baby Jesus birth and had a cousins gift exchange. I love all the traditions and family parties the holidays bring, but it is always nice to sit back and think about the true meaning of Christmas. Our little family is so blessed to have the truthfulness of the gospel to guide our lives.

Houses from top to bottom are the Martineau farm, The Ralph beach bungalo, The Guthrie nut house, The Simon haunted house and the we did Santa's love shack. Sorry Time and Parker I didn't get a picture of your Buy More store from Chuck.
