Our Christmas Story



So, as you know..
Christmas has come and gone and all the hustle and bustle is over. What a relief!! In keeping up with this years theme of being the last one to get my stuff done, I am just now going to share our Christmas story.

We had so much fun this year. Having a new baby in the house made everything just a little bit sweeter, and a little bit crazier! Santa did not disappoint at our house this year, (except maybe the golf clubs he brought Makenna? I don't think she asked for those, but when we were able to find a new home for the ones Santa brought, and got her new pink ones, thinks looked up.) Watching our kids Christmas morning just keeps getting better every year. There is nothing like having a 3 year old treat every gift she opens like she's been waiting all her life to get it! And the wonderment of the others trying to figure out just how Santa knew all of their favorite things, even if they didn't ask him for them. It was our best Christmas yet. Getting everything I hinted about from my personal angel might have helped too!




With the extremely generous help of family,(my parents) friends,(the Wards)and lots of neighbors,(Rideouts, Saxtons, Haseltons, Enghs, and VanLeuwens) we were able to help a family with their Christmas this year. We had gotten away from this tradition lately and it was so humbling to get to do it again. It reminds us of how blessed we really are and how important it is to remember what this time of year is really about!
