Christmas

Okay, I'll admit I felt kinda like a little kid waking up Christmas morning. I woke up 15 min before my alarm went off, but had to wait to wake up Doug until my alarm went off. Once I woke Doug up we opened up presents and then got ready and headed off to Brad and Tamara's house again. When we arrived they were still opening up presents. It was fun to see everything the kids got for Christmas. 

Brad and Tamara had us for Christmas this year and they were so kind and got us a Silpat(for baking), Tamara made Matix a hooded towel, and then we got an ipod Nano and some head phones (Brad got them at work). 

Thank you SO much!!!

We had breakfast with them, went to church and then hung out with their family for a while before going to visit Grandpa Bell. Grandpa was at Aunt Pam's house and so we got to see more family for a bit on Christmas. It was great to see them all on Christmas day. 

Once Doug and I headed home from Brad and Tamara's house we got to talk and skype with our parents, grandparents, and siblings. Skyping was the best because my sister's girls were able to show me everything they got for Christmas. I made Christmas dinner which wasn't anything fancy...just a new recipe from pinterest. 

Here is the goods we got  from each other, parents, siblings, and grandparents.

I love Christmas time because of all the songs on the radio, the decorations, the lights, the family time, but most of all because I get to really reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful for his birth and all he has done for me!!
