Christmas brought.....

A wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with the cousins that made it feel like a holiday (and it's important that Christmas feel special).


Leo's first pair of jeans. He looks like a little man in his new denim, and of course the Christmas sweater.
A Christmas Sacrament Meeting. I almost wish we went to church every Christmas day. It really set the tone for the celebration of our Savior's Birth.

A visit from "Santa." Yes, I still have Santa visit to lay out the presents. It makes for a magical Christmas season.

Toys. Which is good, we needed some toys around here.


new woodworking tool for Heber. I'm imagining there will be many more evenings spent in the garage.

A pencil sharpener and pencils (just what I requested from Santa. Sometimes I just really like writing with a good sharp pencil). Can you see that there are boxes of both glitter and furry animal print. Man, that Santa is good.

Grandparents from far away to visit. We're so happy they could come hang out with Leo.

The joys of skyping with my family so far away. Leo finally got to meet Aunt Loni, Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Dave.

Our Leo's sounds. He has recently started making noises - especially when he doesn't like something. Oh how we like to hear his little voice.


We hope Christmas brought many joys to your life as well. Happy Holidays!

It was so lovely to have you!! and family does make Christmas feel more special (even though I look super awkward holding your baby!) I am in love with your collection of pencils...I have a little fetish for office supplies myself (that is, until I had four daughters who regularly help themselves.)
