MERRY CHRISTMAS! We woke the kids up at 7. We wanted them to sleep as much as possible without being late to anything. Briggsers was especially (not) pleasant while we opened presents. Guess we learned our lesson. Don't wake him up. Adi was of course excited to see that Santa had visited our house. We opened our presents and hurried and got ready to go to church. I grabbed some of Adi's presents that she really wanted to play with and opened them in the car.
We went to Adam's parents ward, and they had a great Christmas program. I was happy that our ward had our's last week so we got to have two! Last week was wonderful too. I am so happy that we got to sit and listen to beautiful music that let us feel the spirit so strong. I never feel more love for our Savior than through music. I am so grateful that we had church on this Christmas day to remind us the true meaning of this holiday and to try to teach our kids that. I'm so grateful that the greatest gift this world would ever receive was born in the humblest conditions, in a stable, and laid in a manger with the stinky animals. What a blessing we have to know Him! Through all the hustle and bustle of the season, I need to try to remember more every day, the real meaning and reason for this season.
We spent the rest of the day at our families houses. Here are some of the pics from the day.
Briggs either held this phone or one of Adison's crayons in his hand all morning. Adi was so excited to get this pricess art kit from Briggs. She wanted it forever.
Adi standing next to her big present from us. It was a dollhouse! Adam got tools, and I got a new camera! Yay, I've wanted it for two years. One of my favorite presents was from Adi that she made at preschool. Look at that darling picture on the front of that cookbook!
This one kind of explains the morning.
Adam took pictures of all the loot. I realize it looks like a ton of stuff. BUT, it was their stuff from santa, us, cousins, grandmas & grandpas. Still spoiled. Hope everyone had a good day! I'm exhausted.
