Our Christmas 2012 was filled with fun, laughter, family and abundance of friends and blessings. We shared our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of ham, potatoes and Christmas jell-o with the Kerbys, the Covingtons and the Van Horns. After some games, lots of food, and re-enacting the nativity story our friends headed out and we headed on a secret errand. We loaded a Costco box with presents and goodies for a family in the ward and Logan and Mikelle made the secret drop and dash, while we watched from a distance. Back at home, the kids opened their traditional Christmas Eve PJ's and posed for a photo or two before heading to bed.
The kids woke us up at 7 AM sharp on Christmas morning and we rushed to the basement to see if Santa had come! He had indeed.
Syd received a new bike, 2 American Girl doggies and a Lego Friends Olivia's house.
Logan searched through box after box after box and finally found an iPod Touch and Skull Candy headphones.
Mikelle received a North Face fleece and a black puffer jacket and hot pink texting gloves.
Ethan found a hidden mound by his Christmas stocking and pulled back the Christmas quilt to find a "really fast, green race car---just like the one at Costco!" Luckily, 4-year old's are not bothered with Santa's shopping patterns!
The kids were delighted when Dan looked at the bottom his stocking and found a lump of coal! Luckily, he found a few items under the tree with his name: Ray Ban sunglasses and a Rocket Ballz driver (golf club) and this .....
....a cousin Eddy hat. Merry Christmas, Clark-Merry Christmas.
He surprised me with some cute PJ's, warm Ugg slippers and a gift certificate to Landsdowne Spa!
Our Christmas was peaceful and joyful and we are aware that we have an abundance of blessings to be grateful for. May the love our Savior brought to the earth dwell in our hearts throughout the coming year-
Merry Christmas 2012
