We had a WONDERFUL Christmas!

I love Christmas! There is a feeling in the air that makes you love and appreciate those around you more than any other time of year! We had a great Christmas this year! The kids were excited about their gifts! They were so excited to be able to give things to each other! They made simple cards for each other or found objects around the house to wrap and put under the tree for each other ;) (like my fabric cutting mat and old toys) I think we went through 15 roles of wrapping paper!!! Dallas had an awesome auction at school and got some really cool stuff for everybody in the family! (like an actual American Girl Doll for Mackenzie!) Jordan understood more about what was happening. For several days after, he would ask at bedtime if Santa was going to come again in the morning :) It was just fun! On Saturday, we went to Rich's grandparents and by way of Temple Square on the way home. It was FREEZING outside! It was about 19 degrees - literally! Our hands were cold even inside of gloves! But it was nice to see all of the beautiful lights and the beautiful Temple! How blessed we are to live this close to so many beautiful Temples, especially Salt Lake! I hope every one had a wonderful Christmas and took the time to remember the real reason for the season!
