FAVORITE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

I've always wanted a pair of tall black boots but I've been too shy to wear them because I'm taller than Jeremy. Well this year I said to heck with it.... they still give me a back ache but I just wear them here and there for a couple hours. I always liked the cute wallet I got this year from Lori. It holds EVERYTHING! There were other gifts I liked, but I don't have pictures for them. Jer got a macbook for his present. He liked it too. He got tricked a little, he had no clue it was coming.

Although the gifts are great, this year we did something neat. On Christmas morning before going downstairs to open gifts, we read the Christmas story with our boys. We thought it was good to literally put CHRIST first on Christmas morning. I'd like to do it each year, and know the boys will become more and more anxious Christmas morning to see their gifts, but it's important. Christmas gets so fun and busy, and it's easy to forget why we celebrate. I'm grateful for my Savior, and I'm glad we can take time to remember HIM.
