Christmas 2009

This Christmas season was really wonderful! We really tried to slow things down to enjoy the season and focus on the real reason of Christmas. Our branch Christmas party this year was my first as Relief Society President and it was a success. As you can see, Connor was an angel in the primary's nativity. I think that was a first for him!

The kids and I did our annual 12 days of Christmas to a new family in our branch that lives in Columbus. Besides old ladies being suspicious and some hag who yelled at Connor for ringing someone's doorbell and running off, it was a great success! They had such a fun time with it and even left us a nice thank you note on the last day. They still don't know who it was.

We enjoyed a quiet Christmas Eve with appetizers, a short musical program and opening of family presents. The next morning was so much fun as we saw what Santa brought and watched a light snow fall and blanket the ground outside. It was a "White Christmas" and was absolutely beautiful and serene. The remainder of our weekend entailed hanging out in pajamas, playing the wii and Rock Band, nibbling on goodies and sledding up at the property. It was a great time!
