A wonderful time of the Year

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!! We sure did! We started our Christmas Eve parties with my Grandma Dana's party. We have done this every year of my life, not kidding. We always meet at 1:00 to eat, open presents, visit and go home. We have had to move the party from my grandma's to the church, but this is the only change in years. It is always one of my favorite things to look forward to. This year Santa made a visit and I thought that Tallon was going to die before he got to sit on his lap. He even managed to bring his list and chose to give it to Santa just so he wouldn't forget anything. It was the cutest thing ever. Grandma made all of her Great Grandchildren fleece blankets and they were in heaven. There is nothing better than a grandma quilt! My kids wouldn't put theirs down! They cuddled in them all day and when they woke up Christmas morning, the blankets were right there with them.
The kids got so spoiled this year. We said that we were going to cut back and we thought we had, but they still got spoiled! It was so funny this morning, of all the gifts and new toys to choose from, the kids played dress up! And I have BOYS!! The twins had to have on their new jersey's from uncle Jacob and aunt Jerrie, and Tallon wanted to wear his new suit and pretend he is a missionary. This kids just melts my heart. He sat his brothers down and read what words he could from the scriptures, and told them stories. The twins loved it and sat for a good 10 mins listening the Tallon teach them about the church. Tallon just can't wait to be a missionary and loves to tell his friends and brothers all about the scriptures. What a Kid!!

We had a treasured Christmas this year with memories that will last a lifetime. I am so thankful for the Christmas season and the magic it brings into my home. I am truly grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the message it holds and the place my children have made for it in their hearts.
