We had a awesome Christmas. We got very spoiled. My kids are at a fun age right now. It is fun to watch them get so excited. I love Christmas time!! We were so lucky to be able to have both my parents, Brett's parents, Grandpa Jones, and my little Brother Casey over for Christmas Morning. Madison got a Ipod and a couple other things, and Andrew got a Horse with a couple other things. They were both so excited about everything they got. It was a fun morning. Brett and I agree that Christmas day and Christmas eve are the busiest day's of the whole year for us. We go back and forth a lot. We both agree that it is such a blessing that we get to live so close to our families. In the 9 years we have been married we have been able to go to every party. except this year we had to miss the Jones Christmas party:( On Christmas eve we go up to the cemetery and light some candles and put them on Erica, MonaLee and Grandma Jones' graves. We put the candles in white lunch bags. It looks really pretty and they burn all night. Monalee's family, My whole family, And Grandpa Jones do this. Then we have family prayer. It is a nice way to start off Christmas. Then we head out to Levan For my Grandma Mangelsons party. I have been to this party since I can ever remember. It is fun to see all of our cousins, and Aunt & Uncles. Next we headed back to Nephi to watch a movie with Brett's parents and to open the pajama Fairy. We watched Night at the Museum. Then Home and off to bed. CHRISTMAS DAY. We opened our presents and had some breakfast. Then we went over to Brett's parents for a couple of hours. They completely spoiled us. Then over to my parents for lunch. And they also Spoiled us like crazy. We are so lucky. Then for the final event of the night Grandma Nelsons!!. We have also never missed her Christmas day party. She also spoiled us. It is always fun to see all of Brett's family there as well. So in other words we had a awesome day. The best part of the day was when Madison said to me, Mom I loved getting presents today, but I always remembered that the reason why we have Christmas is because of Jesus. Wow she does listen to us and to her primary teachers. We are all so thankful for our Savior Jesus Christ. He is a part of our lives and blesses us every day. We love this time of year and that we are able to reflect back on his life. We love Our families and we are so grateful for them. They do so much for us. We are so lucky to live so close to most of them. We hope you all had a Great Christmas. I am also sorry I am not a writer. In fact I stink when it comes to doing it. If none of this makes sense I am sorry.
