Christmas in a Nutshell












Wayne & I had so much fun with the girls this Christmas. Ava really got into the whole celebration of Christmas. Kalli really just wanted to eat the paper and climb all over her presents. They each have such unique personalities. My heart was filled with much emotion as we got up on Christmas morning.

Ava's most favorite present was her Hannah Montana guitar. For those of you who do not already know, she "is a Rock Star". The stage really is her friend and exactly what she received that evening from Nana & Popo. Yep, her very own Hannah Montana stage. So now she has two favorite gifts her guitar and her stage. If you have not figured it out yet, she loves Hannah & Miley.

Kalli liked it all. Especially that which was not hers. However, if I had to pick one gift that she has been crazy about it would be her miniature four wheeler that she got from Nana and Popo. What can I say....I guess grandparents really know how to spoil them:) She enjoys riding on it backwards. Yeah, I have not quite figured that out, but everything she rides she usually does it backwards.

Anyhow, we did our annual pajama gift opening on Christmas Eve and we all got a new pair of pj's to sport on Christmas morning. That is a favorite childhood memory of mine that we have carried on even now.

I love Christmas....everything about it....the spirit of the season, seeing family, eating lots of yummy food, opening gifts and most importantly celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus. My prayer is that my children will grow in the Lord and celebrate His birth, death and resurrection every day, not just at Christmas.

I could add so many things about Christmas but I wanted to just give everyone a little tidbit.

I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and having time off with friends and family.
