We had a magical Christmas this year. We put a lot of effort to focus more on the story of baby Jesus than Santa--and the boys caught the spirit.
There were LOTS of family gatherings throughout the month with birthdays, a missionary uncle returning, and Christmas get togethers.
Not to mention we all got spoiled in the present department.
Now we just try our best to settle down indoors while the snow falls.
Merry Christmas!
In November for a couple years now, we've done a thankful turkey. His feathers grow continually through the month as we add to him as we go. This year was fun to watch because our "thankfuls" reflected so much about our lives this year.
