Whiskey

Wendy's favorite Christmas present by far is her seatbelt buddy. She named her Whiskey because "that's a cute way to say whiskers". She then proceeded to tell all my family how car trips are so much funner and more relaxing with Whiskey!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!  I was determined to ring the bells waking up the family this year but sadly the girls beat me to it.  They were so excited to see what Santa had brought them and when they walked into the living room there was nothing but smiles for the rest of the day.  I loved seeing them get just as excited over presents they were giving as ones they received.  Most of the day was spent hanging out together playing with new toys and baking.  It was so nice and relaxing.  In the evening LeeRoy's family and my family came over for Christmas dinner.  We made the table as big as possible and just managed to squeeze everyone it.  It was perfect!

Christmas Eve

The girls were so excited when they woke up the morning of Christmas Eve so I was glad we had fun things planned to make the day go fast.  We went to my mom's house  and had a lot of fun.  We ate tons of food and she let the girls open up their gifts from her.  When we got home they were able to open their Christmas Eve pajamas and we cuddled up and watched Twas' the Night Before Christmas.  Then we tracked Santa on Norad, laid out cookies, and the girls placed their stockings.  It was an exciting night and Wendy was almost shaking when we tucked her into bed.  This was Emily's first year being on the other side of the magic and she did such a great job making it fun and memorable for her little sister.

Call Family Christmas Party

Today was our annual Call Family Christmas party.  I was so excited because it has felt like forever since I have seen Alisha and her family and we had planned some special, matching t-shirts for our husbands to wear.  They were actually pretty excited about it too and we had a great time eating, seeing Santa, and catching up with everyone.

It is crazy to think how much has changed with all of us in just a year, but those changes have really made me cherish these moments with family more and more.  I am so thankful for every single one of them!

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, I hope that you have a Blogger account and see this picture of my family cleaning the church at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning - Oops! How did our Christmas list get in the picture? I am sooooooo embarrassed!
