I've been reminded or TOLD many times to update my blog.......its so nice to know that I have readers. Hmmm, where to start?
CHRISTMAS TREE:
We decided to decorate our tree with blue lights & silver ornaments - it really lights up the room (yes, its still up)......I just can't get myself to put it down - I'm thinking of putting red lights on it for Valentines Day (ha ha ha).
HOLIDAY TREATS:
It was so nice this year being in a new area & making new friends - so we were so surprised at how many of the ward members spoiled us with treats. We got a variety of things: a vinyl sign w/special story, a book, popcorn, cookies & brownies (yeah, like we need more sweets - ha ha).
CHRISTMAS EVE:
We had Andy's family come to our place for a Christmas Eve party - it was so much fun. We started with a lasagna dinner & then had the kids act out the Christmas story while Grandpa read the scriptures - it was so cute. They all dressed up: Kolby (Joseph), Ela & doll (Mary & baby Jesus), Kaleb - Marshall - Luke (Shepherds) & Keilana (Angel)......I will post pictures later, which Anna took for us. Then the kids opened their presents from Gma & Gpa Nielson and some from Aunt Debbie......they loved it......they would've been happy if that was it for Christmas - they are so spoiled (ha ha). Then the adults played a gift exchange game - I won some yummy treats - it was a great night!
CHRISTMAS DAY:
Of course I was up until 1am wrapping presents......I mean, helping Santa with presents (ha ha) & so, it was nice to wake up to Lana & Kolby still asleep. But then I was getting anxious & had to wake them up for presents. They started with stockings & loved the little toys & especially their new toothbrushes - Ariel, Shrek & Spongebob. They did great opening their presents by themselves & its 'priceless' seeing the looks on their faces. I love buying presents!! After breakfast, we played with their toys & then had lunch at Gma & Gpa Nielsons - it was delicious & then we played games. :D
I hope that everyone had a great holiday season!
