Christmas Scenes

We went to Temple Square with the Carliles on the 23rd. We went early (around 5pm) and it wasn't nearly as cold or crowded as I had imagined. Plus the parking was free! 



Christmas Eve we celebrated with the Loertschers. Quinn and Dawnie and Grandpa and Grandma did a great job at getting the perfect presents for all of us. For the first time we gave to one of the out-of-state siblings and had fun packing and mailing our gifts to Skye and Jon and their girls and then watching them open them via webcam.




Christmas morning we had our Christmas at home. Nora loves her pop-up bugs, and Zeke really liked both his sea-rescue track and his Cars 2 cars.



And Christmas night we celebrated with the Carliles. Grandma Carlile had lots of fun stocking stuffers for all, and Zeke helped everyone open their presents. 



It was a wonderful weekend and we feel so blessed by family that gives us so much. We stayed out of the hustle and bustle and stress this year and had a very magical and peaceful season (keeping things as simple as possible really does make us happy!).
