What a Christmas!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is over! So much preparation and anticipation. I'm so grateful for my family and Sean's family. I'm especially grateful for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We saw several Nativity scenes this season and it was great to discuss the significance with Ben. I think he gets it.

We left cookies for Santa and carrots for his motorcade. Because we have no chimney, we left a special "Key" out for Santa. Benjamin didn't think Mr. Claus would fit down a chimney anyway.

Among his favorite gifts is a remote control T-Rex from Grandma & Grandpa Burris. He now puts it in his back pack and takes it wherever he goes. He also loves his Hungry Hippos game and his remote control racetrack. We received two snow sleds from Grandma & Grandpa Judd and can't wait to hit Mt. Lemmon to try them out!

It was really great to get together with my siblings and their kids at my parents' home. It was cold and windy but that didn't stop us from burning up the ping pong table. Jace and Randy were talking some trash and I think Janelle let them both have some humble pie.

This little guy had a really great nap on his Mama's lap and is such a delight.

It was fun watching my nieces playing. It definitely brought back memories of my dolls and dressing up.

I hope everyone had a warm and wonderful Christmas. We're looking forward to the New Year and all it will bring.
