Merry Christmas!

As I prepared our house for Christmas this year, I came across a talk by Elder Holland entitled, Maybe Christmas Doesn't Come from a Store.  He does such a wonderful job telling the story of the birth of our Savior, and it really put me in the Christmas spirit.  We had our annual Christmas Eve dinner with the Bradley's.  The kids acted out the Nativity Story and Debbie shared a wonderful story about Rory's great grandpa Hollis.  The kids then opened presents and got extremely wild!  Christmas day we opened presents then headed over to Orangeville to have breakfast with my family (another tradition we keep every year).  The breakfast was delicious and it was so fun to open presents with everyone.  After all the presents were opened, Jerod and Elise surprised Gary with a basset hound puppy.  It is so cute and the kids were seriously in love.  Mathew and Kinlee were so intrigued and wouldn't leave grandpa or the puppy alone.  We had such a wonderful Christmas and are truly blessed.
