Christmas was so much fun! We stayed home and did NOTHING! It was wonderful. We Did Jonathan's Family party early and my family's party wasn't until Christmas day-night. So we had time as a family and it was relaxing and enjoyable. We were super blessed this last year. And we do recognize where it comes from. We love Christmas and we love our Savior and what he has done for us. He truly is the greatest gift we could have received this year, and every year. This year we had someone do the 12 days of Christmas to us. They left a nativity piece every night. It was fun and brought the spirit of Christmas to our home. The kids loved it! Here are some Christmas Eve pictures and Christmas day pictures.
The day after Christmas, it snowed! The kids had fun building a snowman and starting their igloo...:)
New years was fun. We went to Matt and Jenn's and had dinner and games. It was fun. Then we stayed home and played games with our kids. Avonlea and Titus were asleep, but the older kids stayed awake and we played board games and it snowed again. So we got a picture of the older four outside in the snow for New Years.
New Years day the kids went sledding at the Bastresses. They had fun, while Jon and I went on a date. We asked a kid to take a picture of us, and of course we are so awkward..lol...One of these days, we will get a good picture where we look noraml..lol
Not so good at selfies either...lol
We also went sledding with my family at the blue hills. It was super fun! I don't know if I got a picture of everyone, but it was fun!
Just cute pics...
