Christmas

This year was a very different year but a good time to reflect on our blessings. My parents were here for 10 days after the baby and we had a great time with them. We were able to have a Christmas eve with them before they let. Grandpa taught the children using a small nativity scene. We had a secret Santa this year who gave us a piece of a nativity scene each night and on Christmas Eve they brought us the baby Jesus. It was the Bruce Frodsham family in our ward. They are great people. So the kids learned about Jesus' birth from Grandpa and talked about Bethlehem and the star after. It was a neat experience. We ate finger foods and played cards. We didn't get to play cards as much as they would have liked but we had a good time. They left on Christmas Eve which was a very sad day for us but Jerry made plans with two families in our ward who came over for dinner that night. The Childs' made all the food and the Jensen's brought a salad. We had a good time. Christmas morning was great. The kids has such a great time. Landon got crashy, crashy race cars and Lauren got a kitchen. They said Santa brought Mommy a baby and Daddy a video game. We were also very spoiled by Uncle Rod. He did way too much for us but we appreciate it. They LOVE Santa and can't for him to come again next year. We were very blessed and so happy to be together as a family.
