Dec 25

christmas day was real quiet this year because we only had one turkey dinner. at 8 am the girls came in and woke us up and were very excited to get started on present opening. as tradition we read the christmas story in luke and then bore our testimonies to one another, we are all thankful for our families and the gospel of Jesus in our lives. sharing our testimony helpes us to be close as a family and keep Jesus Christ in our thoughts this special day. we then opened our stockings on the bed with the usual toothbrushes, soap, bubble bath, socks and chew toys for bandit. we then went downstairs to open presents from under the tree, the reaction of the girls were priceless when they saw what had been left for them. We recieved this year a piano wth lessons for 2 years, mp3 players with idog, karaoke machine, and some toys for elizabeth and emma. earrings and new living room furniture and bbq for mom and dad
