Christmas Part 2

I'm pretty sure Christmas was bigger on Monday with G&G but Santa came through on Christmas day with  bringing an XBox Kinect (behind Carley) and a few other fun things.




 Holy BIG present!  Mark and I got the girls a new vanity/desk that is just the right size.  Lauren's small vanity from 3 years ago was overflowing with stuff.  The girls are loving their new one.

What was hidden in Kenny's new hoody...an ipod shuffle!
 He was thrilled!

My family totally gets me!

I love when Christmas falls on a Sunday.  I think having sacrament on Christmas day is so much more meaningful.  Mark was the narrator for our program this year and I sang in the choir.  We watched our kids from the stand.  My favorite part of the meeting is when Lauren moved from sitting with a ward member to go sit next to Kenny.  I watched as Kenny smiles at her and then puts his arm around her.  It was a sweet moment that almost brought me to tears.

Later in the evening we had 3 families (who also live far away from their extended families) over for dinner.  It was a joy to visit with them and to share some delicious Mexican food.  Sorry, no pictures.
