Christmas

Brady and I had such a wonderful Christmas. It all started with the tree. Brady and I had used one of my parent's trees up to this year. But, it was time to get our own now that we have our own house. We finally found one, it is 12 feet tall. It touches our ceiling but luckily it fits! I was so excited and it was so fun to decorate. I have pictures above. I also put a little tree that my parent's gave us in our front room. I have always love flocked trees and that is what this little tree is. I love this little tree too!

On Christmas Eve, Brady and I went to my parent's house to talk to my little brother that is on his mission. It was really fun to get to talk to him. He is doing a really good job. We are so proud of him. After talking to him we watched a movie called Traitor. It was okay. Then, we all opened our Christmas Eve gift. We all got some pajamas. The girls all got zebra print pj pants, they are so cute! Then Brady and I went home and wrapped the few presents we hadn't and we opened our own Christmas Eve presents. . . more pajamas. Brady got me the SOFTEST pajamas I have ever felt. I love them.

On Christmas morning we woke up early and opened our presents from each other. Brady got me a new phone and a camera (I already had these though). He also got me two shirts, two pair of shoes, a new strainer, Microsoft Office, and the game Sims. I am so spoiled (Thanks Brady!). I got Brady a Winchester gun, a few dress shirts. We got an MP3 player for us to share. It was so fun to open presents as a little family. After we got ready, we headed to my family's house. After everyone got there we opened presents. Brady and I got a new Bosch mixer and wheat grinder. I got a ton of clothes and a couple pairs of shoes. Brady got some new shoes, his own MP3 player, some shirts, and some other things. My family is so wonderful. They do so much for us. Thank you all for everything you got us and everything you do for us! We love you!
So, after we opened gifts we ate some breakfast, tried on clothes, and just hung out. Then, we headed to Brady's parent's house. We opened gifts, ate food, and played games there. Brady got a gun cover, waders, gun cleaner, more pajamas, cologne, and a few other things. I got a new shirt, scarf, shoes, perfume, pajamas, and some other things. Brady's family also spoiled us! They also do so much for us! Thank you all for everything! We love you guys!
So, our Christmas was a very amazing one. We are so blessed to have all that we have. But, none of this would even be possible if we didn't have our savior. I am so grateful for his birth, death, resurrection, and his mission on this earth. I love this season because we think about our savior so much. The music is so beautiful and I always feel so warm inside even though it is cold outside. I am so grateful that I know our savior lives. I am so grateful for his sacrifice. I know that because of him I can be with all of my family again someday forever! What a wonderful thing! I am glad we have such wonderful family and friends and for their examples. We love you all and hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year!
