This year has been a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at my grandma Black's house. She is 97 years old and still going strong. My Grandma is so amazing, she even made treats, and cookies for us. We had an aw some dinner with my older brother and his family, my little brother and his fiance, my aunt and uncle, and their two sons. After dinner and visiting we all went to Dan's parents to visit. We exchanged gifts, and the kids acted out the nativity. The kids had fun. Kate was an adorable angel, and Kirk loved pretending to be a cow. Then we headed home to get the kids in bed before Santa came. Kate kept looking out the van window to watch for Rodolph's nose. When we got home we were kneeling in the living room for family prayer, when there was a loud knocking noise from the wind. We told the kids that Santa was trying to get in to leave their presents. I've never seen Kates eyes so wide. She ran up to her room and jumped into bed. Kirk slept on Kates floor. The next morning we were pleasantly surprised that the kids slept in until 8:00. They were so excited about Santa. The first thing they said was "did Santa eat his cookies". We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family to share this special time of year with. We are especially grateful to our Savior Jesus Christ. I love this time of year when everyone strives to be a little more giving, and a little bit better. May we always keep the spirit of our Savior in our hearts and homes.

Looks like you had a fun Christmas! It was good to see you on our visit!
Sounds like you had a fun Christmas. Your kids are so cute.
Oh my how cute Kirk looks as a cow, and also as Darth vader, he and William would have a blast each wearing their new costume (william got one too only it does't look as nice as Kirk's). Kate is an Angel in every sense of the word what a sweet cute girl she is becoming. I love seeing her in her dance costume. Wish so much we lived closer to see you more often. I'm glad you had a wonderful christmas, we love you.
