Christmas in January

Dave and I were lucky enough to spend much of December with family and friends.  We reconnected with our favorite people over delicious meals and exchanged lots of gifts and well wishes.  Christmas Eve was spent with Dave's family.  Oscar read the Christmas story from the scriptures, we ate some yummy treats, and headed home (gotta get to bed before Santa gets there).

Our Christmas morning looked like this:

After a little toy time we headed to church.  My parents joined us for our ward's choir program.  The meeting was perfect: spiritual, sweet, and short. :)  We headed home after the meeting and my dad made us his traditional Christmas morning breakfast (homemade egg McMuffins).  A few hours later we headed to my parents' house for the spoiling of the century!

I've had a red KitchenAid mixer on my gift list since Dave and I've been married.  This Christmas just proves that good things come to those who wait.

Cooper got a car he car drive (or we can control via remote control), a drum set, and a Barney...and that was just from Santa!

As you can see, we had a wonderful Christmas season.  We are so grateful for all we have been given this past year and acknowledge our Lord and Savior's hand in all our blessings.
