Best Christmas

This was an awesome Christmas. Something about having our little miracle here at the same time we celebrate the birth of the Savior was so special. We saved our Christmas shopping for December 23 (and I even got a couple of things on December 27--so sad!), but it was so nice to simplify! Just a few less distractions. We have also been the recipient of the kindness of our family as well as some complete strangers! Our ward has been so good to us to bring us meals and check on us periodically-- a family we don't even know surprised us with dinner on Christmas Eve. We also got to see Becky, Gavin, and Eleanor when they came to Utah-- a highlight for all of us and a sight for sore eyes! My sister also surprised us by eloping in Figi on the day after Christmas! I'm so happy she found such a great guy, and that she saved me a really long plane ride. (j/k) :)

I can't believe you sister eloped--so cool! I like that you were honest about the plane ride--isn't that just the point of eloping? I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas! --Jen

Merry Christmas! I'm so glad it was a good one- and i hope the things you got on the 27th were seriously marked down! :) Isn't that the beaut of after Christmas shopping?!?
