Christmas 2011


What a wonderful Christmas. I have to say I was feeling a little sad that we weren't in our own home for Christmas, but mom and dad made it extra special. They always make Christmas amazing. Molly absolutely loved everything about Christmas, from the boxes, wrapping, gifts, tree, lights, bells, music, etc. Santa was especially good toher and got her just what she asked for, fingerpaints. She also got a tangled doll and a cake decorating play-doh set. Nick and I bought her tap shoes and a dance outfit since she will begin dance lessons next week. So excited for that! She wouldn't take off the tap shoes for days. She even wanted to sleep in them, but I did talk her out of that. All my siblings came home Christmas night (except Joseph) for Christmas dinner at Grandpas. We did Christmas around the world so we each brought food from either countries of our ancestry or places from missions or military. It made for a nice buffet of all kinds of food.
The next 2 days were spent playing with cousins. LOVE having thefamily here. One reason Joseph didn't make it home for the holiday was because of their Christmas Eve surprise. Jessie gave birth to baby Joelle Marie. What a beautiful new niece.
