Christmas!

We had a lovely Christmas this year

Everyone humored me and wore matching Christmas pajamas.  I was feeling kind of dumb for getting them, but in the end I loved them and I loved everyone matching on Christmas morning.

It's kind of impossible to get everyone in my family to smile at the same time, but I thought these turned out pretty cute anyway.

Everyone seemed to like their presents this year. Grace is still loving Loki things.

Mark is always hard to shop for.  I got him several books that he won't have time to read for years. 😂

Joy loves squishmallows and stuffed animals in general.

Daniel and Andy were so cute opening presents together. One of my favorite parts of Christmas was watching Andy open his presents from Daniel (Daniel was so excited).  Daniel spent most of his money buying Andy presents. He sure loves his big brother.

It's so good to have BethAnne starting to feel better after her difficult surgery and long recovery.

This wasn't a Christmas present, but it's one of my favorite things from the Christmas season.  We got it at Disneyland to commemorate our getaway.  It's so cute.

Now we enter a new year with hope in our hearts, and gratitude that even through hard times, we have each other and we have the Savior and His Gospel to see us through. May we feel His peace and strength and joy this new year.
