CHRISTMAS!

Christmas day was wonderful. Santa came through this year with a big surprise for Carter and McKay - just want they had been dreaming about - A Wii! Tanner was happy with everything that had anything to do with Cars. Everett was not quite sure about all the commotion. We enjoyed opening some presents and then it was time to go to church. I actually really enjoyed attending church and being able to really focus on the true meaning of Christmas. There was so much beautiful music and uplifting words. It really made the day complete. Once we were home, it was round two of presents since we did not have time to finish before church. We were then able to enjoy the rest of our day with games and even a little nap. We then enjoyed a turkey dinner together that evening, before the chaos of trying to get out of town the following day began. We spent so many years doing Christmas day with our families that it has taken some time to develop our own traditions and to just enjoy our time with our own little family. Now that our boys are getting a little older, I feel that it is important to cultivate some strong traditions. I think this has been the best Christmas with just our family yet.
