We had a wonderful Christmas, besides the quick trip to the ER for my sister (she's fine now).
It was Christopher's first Christmas; he loved it!

Steven wanted to help anyone open their presents and kept the ball rolling by asking whose turn it was to open those presents.
Steven's first Christmas my brother, Matt, crocheted him a cute hat that he has loved since then. Matt liked the way it looked and made one for himself. Meanwhile Christopher needs to wear it, and Steven insists it's his, so Matt crocheted a bigger one for Steven. Here's the handsome trio.
It seems each year we get more excited about the giving and less about the getting. This year was no less, and with these faces, we know we did good.
This Christmas was especially touching to me, I had a lot of thoughts of my Savior and his role in our lives this past year. I cannot put into words how grateful I am of his life and love in our lives. I thought a lot of Mary and the woman she must have been to be the mother of the Son of God. How much of an honor it is to be the mother of my boys. This year has been quite a difficult one, a lot of faith stretching experiences that have brought our family closer together and closer to our Savior. It's because of Him that we're where we are today, and my what a place it is. This Christmas was a lot more than presents, it was about the birth of a baby that would eventually redeem the world of their sins. I hope it's that way for many years to come.
