A Christmas to Remember

Of course the only day Addi decides to sleep in is on Christmas day! Steve and I are like little kids at heart, we were dying to go out and see what Santa brought to us and to see Addi's reaction to what she got. We decided to go out as a couple and see our presents and wait until Addi woke up so she'd be in a good mood. I was excited Santa brought me plane tickets to see my longtime best friend Stefanie in........Phoenix, Arizona!!!! That is ALL I wanted, and lucky for us Allegiant air in Idaho Falls flies direct to Mesa, Arizona which is close by! Addi woke up shortly after, and she was so sleepy, I just loved her sweet little sleepy eyes. She just didn't know what to do with everything. She received a kitchen, mickey mouse, earrings, and chocolate Santa's! It was so great, we sure love our little girl. She played with her kitchen basically all day long. She also got a Handy Manny tool box with all the tools, she loves it!
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas feast and then went to my brother and his families house about 30 miles away for the evening. We all went to bed plenty tired and at

We are so blessed as a family to have everything we have. We are especially grateful for our families and the wonderful knowledge of our Savior and to have the gospel in our lives. Really even if we didn't have all the extra "material stuff" we know we'd be fine because of our family, friends, and knowledge of the gospel! Jesus is the reason for the season!

Opening presents, she is a PRO
