Merry Christmas!

I can't believe that Christmas has come and gone already! It seemed like Thanksgiving was just last week!

Anyway, Mike and I had a lot of fun celebrating the season with our families and friends. We made many memories and had a great time with everyone!

Last Sunday, we went with nearly all of Mike's extended family to see the lights at Temple Square. It was FREEZING cold, but it was fun to see everyone and have such a big group there.

We joked that Mike looked like a ninja with his all of his snow gear on.

We spent the night at my parent's house on Christmas Eve. Every year my family drives around to look at the Christmas lights and then comes home to read a children's book that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas. It is one of my favorite family traditions, so I was glad that we were able to participate this year.

Although my sister, Kristin, got up around 4:30, the rest of us got up around 8:00 to open presents.

After leaving my parents house on Christmas morning, we went to Mike's mom's house for a few hours before heading over to see his dad's side of the family. We had such a great time visiting with everyone and enjoying each other's company.

Thanks for such a happy holiday season!
